Your monthly statement will be mailed; it will have the note on it “PAID BY CR CARD”. Each month the amount due shown on the bill you receive is deducted from your Credit Card automatically on your due date.

Although you won’t have a cancelled check for your receipt, the deduction for your monthly electric service will be shown on your Credit Card statement each month. Your electric statement will also reflect a credit each month.
