I have a lovely Citi Mastercard with lots of rewards. I hate having to deal with paper statements, so I signed up for paperless statements (like I've done with all my accounts), available for viewing online at their website.

Now, Citi sends me a piece of mail every month to let me know that I have an electronic statement available to view.

Chase really wants you to sign-up for their new paperless statement service. They really want it bad. Like "sit on your sternum and break your fingers one by one until you sign-up" style bad.

Scott C. sent us this screenshot of a recent interstitial offer that he saw when he logged into his Chase Account. Notice anything? That's right, there's no way to not sign-up for it. As Scott wrote:

Of course, who needs hard copy data, or a thoughtful user interface, when it means a few less trees vivisected? We can't wait to see Chase take this approach to credit card or loan applications. Or maybe just a big, conspicuous "Yes! Empty my account!" button.
