Hi, Bill,
Fancy seeing you here. You could do worse. You could have opted for
the GM Card (Master Card.) I had one, and every month, I paid
several times their required minimum payment thinking that I was
making advance payments. Then I went out of state to visit my
daughter, and a payment got to them a day late. $20.00 late charge. I
called, and was told, "We don't consider those payments as advance
payments. Whatever payment is due is due on the due date." Needless to
say, they are now minus one customer. On several other cards, if I
follow this procedure, I get a bill showing "Minimum payment due=0."
Those, I'll keep.
Happy Holy Days.
