Not me. I am 75, and most likely am a Plugger in many ways, but I have been paying all of my bills on line for many years. I save a lot of money in postage, and do not have the worry of whether the payment gets where it should go in time.
It all depends on if there is a charge for “processing” the online payment. Our electric company always sends a paper in with the bill saying “save that stamp by paying online” well I am sorry but I would rather buy that stamp than pay $5 to pay online. Kind of a ripoff to me.
Who is charging the fee? There are credit unions all over the place that have free bill pay. If it’s the company, you can possibly change that, although I know that if it’s a utility, there may be only one that’s available in your area. But, check that out too. I found out a few years ago that I wasn’t stuck with my electric company, there were other alternatives available when I checked on line.
Since my old label-maker program died in the ‘upgrade’ to a new O/S, I take all the free stuff I can get. Some bills are now on Auto-Pay, but as my expiration date approaches, I’ve fixed it so it’s easier for my survivors to be able to figure out what the heck I was doing, for they’re not all that computer-savvy. (sigh)
I’ve had checks lost in the mail & mislaid by the company. I pay online. Some times if there is a charge, it’s waived if you sign up for autopay. I prefer going to a site & paying when I choose, but it’s it saves a fee I go to auto. At least I know they are paid.
When I get those stickers in the mail, I throw most away, but keep the plainest ones. I’m moving soon, so those will get thrown away too. I pay online whenever I can, and auto-pay utilities. I’ll lose a few when I move, since they are included in rent.

I do also, except the ones that don’t accept credit cards ( our water company is one) or that charge a service fee for using a card.

I once had personalized address labels, but not so much anymore.

I’ve got more of those stickers than I’ll probably ever use. I am not needing more.
