should i pay off my credit card online immediately or wait for the bill?

it probably doesn't matter since your credit and your checking are at the same institution, but i don't like to let my credit auto draft my checking.  i always do it the other way around (and keep them at different places) i feel like there is more control when my money is gone that way.
