By paying cash, you are essentially having chase send itself a check... Why not just deposit the money, and then access the credit card's online payment system and pay from there? Seems like you have better chances of it going through today instead of Monday.

Not that I recommend doing this, but...

In most cases, as long as your payment posts to your account before the next bill prints, you won't be considered late. 

I'd guess your statement cuts on or around the 25th of each month.  Then it's "due" 25 days later, the 20th of the next month.  So I'd be willing to bet you have nothing to worry about.  Again, I don't recommend doing this normally, but I think you'll be fine.

I have to say that if I were OP, I would have thought that giving cash to a Chase employee would be better (faster, more likely to "count", etc etc) than paying online.

His post is an eye-opener that this isn't so.

From the original post (sorry, I tried to indent, but the html editor went bersek):

I am like "Umm its a cash payment at 9:30 in the morning and you are not crediting me today? How would I actually be expected to pay the bill on the due date?"

"Just call card services."

Which I did. And they are "noting in my account a payment was made on the 18th.

I just do not understand, ITS CASH. THEY TOOK THE CASH TODAY.

OP, does this mean that in the end, you did get credited with a payment on time, but you had to call the CC department for it to happen?

* makes mental note *

Maybe this is one of those age-related things, where those of us who used to do financial business face-to-face with actual human beings still think that that's the preferred method. All you young whipper-snappers may now go ahead and laugh.

There was some discussion about that's how it works with AMEX.  But with other banks, if the bill is due by the 25th, they want it by that date and before a certain time.

Is it a store card the OP was paying?  If so, then paying in cash at the store would be faster.

No clue. But again, that's counter-intuitive to those of my generation (or to me, anyway) who think that giving cash to an employee of the financial institution who wants the money would be the most efficient method.

I do understand (now) why that isn't necessarily so (the credit division being somewhat separate from the banking division.) I just know that if I woke up in a panic on a due date, and there was a branch around the corner, I'd be there in my jammies and slippers, waving money around.

Very enlightening to find that this wouldn't be wise. Not to mention unkind to those having to regard my jammies and slippers.

Ok, Lets talk.

Its a Chase Freedom Card.

The Due Date was/is 6/18. Saturday. Today.

Online Billpay from my two main Banks/accounts USAA AND NFCU, (and even if I used my local Dollar bank) does not do weekends.

When setting the online bill pay I accidentally set it to Capital One one the 17th, when I logged into my account this morning I saw the error realized what I had done and immediately drove to Chase with cash to pay the bill.

My mistake? Yes. My Issue? Why make the payment due date a day that payment by mail or in the actual you know lending institution, won't credit.

I did call cardmember support and they said they would Note in the account that I had made a payment on the 18th and if I was charged a late fee I could call again.

I dont have an account at Chase, they are too fee-filled for me.

While calling card member services, I guess I could have done a same day phone payment, that option was presented to me.

Also On the phone with cardmember services she said that had I a checking account with Chase I could have deposited the cash into that today and then transferred the money online or via phone for a same day credit.

All in all I simply think its insanely stupid that a cash transaction at the actual bank of the account cannot get a same day credit when the due date is THAT day.

I mean the only solutions are Rube Goldberg work arounds?

Its a policy, one that I am sure is an individual institutions. Like it or love it I could close the account.

But again its amazing to me that a cash transaction was not getting posted today, Especially in this day and age of instant computer access and connectivity. I am sorry there really is no real excuse for it, its their own fraking bank. Target Gives same day credit, no matter what day you pay. Cash or check
