One of the quickest ways to wealth is to eliminate expenses that shouldn't exist. Add up all these 1.50 a month, look at the intereset/wealth it will generate in 10 years.

That's the path to being a miser with high blood pressure, not wealth.

If you pay in full each month your finance charge should still be $0.

Agreed.


Hmm, this could be interesting. There was another thread recently about a finance charge on a cash advance that kept compounding interest daily so that you could never have a zero balance. So the minimum interest they could charge would be $0.01 on any balance you had, which would get bumped to $1.50 automatically....I'm in the wrong business.

What business are you in where screwing thousands of people out of $1.49 each month, while doing absolutely no work on my part, would be a step up? ;)

fixed ;)

I see that. And you guys are probably right. But as worded I could get hit with a $1.50 finance charge. I'm not closing the account as that would not be in my best interest.

It's the Principle of the matter. Pun intended. ;)

You're right that it is poorly worded.

Confirmed.

For the record I agree with DaveSimmons, lover of Samsung 1080p DLP's and mugs, fellow CostCo whore :)
