Explanation:

To determine the disadvantage, we analyze each option:

• "Marnie will not have to find a stamp and a mailbox" is an advantage (convenience).
• "Marnie will have to share her card account information" is a disadvantage as sharing card details can pose security risks (e.g., fraud if information is misused).
• "Marnie’s bill is paid immediately" is an advantage (speed of payment).
