(Or more, depending on what happens next month.) My experience is similar to Paul's -- three billings, very close in time. As for Tom Digby (described elsewhere in this thread), my billing was skipped in my August credit card cycle. But, before then, it had been averaging 1.0 billings per cycle (i.e., a 0-billing month was always adjacent to a 2-billing month, so things were always square). So I believe I've been overbilled by at least one month, and unless there's a billing hiatus next cycle it will be two. I contacted Verio billing, and was told: "Thank you for your email. Please note that our Payment Processing Team have advised that all the charges that were charged in error for account cid: <foo> will all be reversed to the credit card and to wait for at least 10 days before it post to the account. Please check your next statement and advise us of any discrepancy under reference number <bar>." This was on 10/18; still no credit as of 10/27. Sigh. Dean Deeds
