If you just don't want to mail a check every month, you don't need to go as far as a credit card and paying a 2% fee. Your bank should have a bill-pay feature, and they will cut a check and mail it on your behalf. Usually this is a completely free service and can be done on an automatic schedule.

These services are routinely awful and incompetent, however. Also, you're relying on the postal service actually delivering the mail, which is often a dicey proposition.

Bank transfers really ought to be easier to do than they are.
