A similar thing with UKReg which gives due to storing card details has an option to 'automatically renew' in it's advance emails.
It would be nice if the 'date due' set of bill paying was the date that the
website hosting expired (or even 5 days prior) than being almost the next day. For instance I've currently got the following...
Date created: 2007/05/08
Date due: 2007/05/09
Website expires (based on date of last years' invoice): 2007/05/23
Date created: 2007/05/13
Date due: 2007/05/14
Website expires (based on date of last years' invoice): 2007/05/29
...whilst they were sent out 15 days prior it's not much of a surprise that they are now being marked as 'overdue'. Whilst I do intend to pay up it would be nice if the 'date due' was set a bit more sensible. Off hand I think 30 days notice is fairly standard with many companies, so I'm slightly surprised that some people have complained.
@avatari: I think I've going to enter the renewal dates into my Google Calendar, should save on headaches next year.
EDIT: At work we issue invoices at the end of each month and most have 30 days in which to pay up before becoming overdue. Some businesses have more efficient accounts departments than others when it comes to paying bills within a short time period.
Thankfully though the resellers' account we have at work will go via our accounts department I can usually get hold of the MD's credit card to pay for online purchases myself, and just leave the invoice in accounts for them to match later against the CC statement.
