But certified mail also costs money so now you're back to the same concept as the 3% fee

I mean if your rent is $500USD (which is stupidly low, in the US I don't think this exists even in the middle of nowhere) then 3% is $15

Certified mail is around $6

Plus you're not rewarding the landlord/payment processor for their stupid fees.

If your rent is more realistic like $1500 then 3% is $45. No contest.

I was more poor back then, certified mail cost extra, also getting to the post office during business hours was nearly impossible.

But I understand the logic (maybe moreso now...) - but poor me was too busy just trying to get by day to day and survive.
