The nerve of them...
I had a small new charge of $24.60 show up automatically on my Dec
statement from Consumer Reports re the online service.
I forgot to pay the bill until 3 days after the due date... so...knowing I
had my camera purchase and moms books to come re Christmas, I decided to
pay the entire balance when the updated January bill arrived.
It came today and I noticed a $7.41 interest charge..which just didn't
seem right on a credit card with a 12.9% annual interest rate.
I called to complain and they informed me that I was being stung for
interest on the original late $22.60 PLUS my new purchases of $609.48.

Cards like that, I call them up once and ask them to fix it. If they don't
I offer to cancel the card. When they ask why, I cite this as the reason.

My cards pay me, not the other way around. No fee and a 1% annual kickback.
They need you more than you need them.


I love my card.

Earn 2% cash back on supermarket purchases*
Earn 5.00% cash back from gas purchases paid at the pump*
Earn 1.25% cash back from all purchases** you make with the card during
each billing cycle

And no annual fee. It gets used even if I'm just buying an onion at
Safeway.
