Instead, use the online systems, and incorporate into your budget paying the bills when the statement is first due to come out. That way if something does come out, you have the option of holding off a week or so before making a payment. The first month you do this may set you back on building to the 1k fund, but after that, things should level out. PS Debt free in April...except for the wife's car, and the bed she just had to have!

Although I will say I think you put the cart before the horse in this case, Jesse: it helps to have the budget and the emergency fund in place before you actually shred the credit cards. Other than that, great post :) and you know I am all about getting folks to kill the debt! B is for Budget and that’s how I did it!
