| NOTE:
The 4% discount period ends on November 30th.
|
 | All electronic
payments
must be made by midnight (ET) on the last day of the month to be eligible
for that month's discount. This includes payments made on-line or over the
phone by credit card or on-line by electronic check. |
|
| Payments by electronic/online banking must be processed early enough
to allow the funds to transfer to our account by the end of the month for
that month's discount.
Payments initiated through your account typically do not "settle" into our
account for 2-5 days. For example, settlement into our account must occur by
November 30th to receive the 4% discount. |
|
| Payments by mail must be postmarked by
the last day of the month to receive that month's discount. |
