Of course, we knew this would happen.
An un-warranted fee for subscribers who make single payments online — and that also, a steep $2 fee per payment, was flawed from the start. Why is a one-off payment more expensive to support than an auto-payment? Isn’t the back-end technology and processing exactly the same?
