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.

So which card is it? Sounds good.

Quite true. They treat you a lot better with AAA credit and have net assets
to cover. In fact, they kiss your tail. Poor credit types they don't want.

Same here now. All of our credit card companies got bought out with
the "Bailout". Now they are all owned by three major companies
basically.

Guess I'll try my own bank...CIBC.
The only reason I got mixed up with that crappy yank bank was way back when
Canada Trust merged with TD and sold off their credit card business to
Citibank.
CIBC has three different types of cards and yes...one does pay back at a
paltry rate of 1%. (no yearly fee)
