Credit Cards - Best Account Activity Pages

Chase recently updated its account holders' site and it's now harder than ever to discern how much I owe and when my payment is due. The account activity page, for example, is a muffled list of poorly displayed transactions that make it less than ideal to see the activity on the card. Transactions are not posted until they've cleared so it is not up-to-the-minute like I prefer.

Therefore, I am interested in otherwise CC companies (MBNA perhaps?) and how their web sites compare.

Thanks

MBNA is okay. Non-posted transactions are listed at the bottom, usually within minutes of when they're made. I just don't like that when you try to pay online, they don't list your total balance, only the minimum payment. I have to view the account statement, write down the number, then log back in to their payment center.

Thanks clorich. Screen shot is very helpful. MBNA shows the balance and when the minimum payment is due -- perfect. And temporary authorizations are nice to see as well.

Appreciate it!

My vote goes to MBNA. Only gripe is what clorich said about having to type in the exact amount if you want to pay in full. My other CC's (AMEX, Discover) have the option to click a radio button to pay the full balance when youre setting up a payment.

The UI on MBNA still beats the other 2, IMO.

yeah, I use Citibank, the Web user interface and the online transaction history are very easy to read.
