Very true if you are lucky enough to have a net connection and are net savvy enough having an e-statement facility is the best. Having a credit card is a facility. Some people can use it to their benefit and some people cannot. Being able to see the e-statement online is very easy and convenient and better still if you have a bank account in a bank and have the same bank's credit card and if they allow you to see the bank account details and credit card details online anything like it. You can even transfer money from the bank account to your credit card just by clinking a button and your credit card due is paid from your bank account. You can use these facilities to your benefit provided you know HOW to use them. For people who are naive and not computer savy are obviously at a loss.
