Benefit

Time Warner, to show its commitment to moving toward more "environmentally friendly" operating practices, gives a "benefit" to customers who switch from paper billing to online billing. What is that benefit; a one dollar "credit" to their account each month. Those who chose not to receive this benefit would have a one dollar "Paper Statement Service Charge" added to their bill each month. So what is the "benefit" you receive for switching to online billing; not getting charged a dollar each month for not switching.
