Hmm... I guess I've never had that problem because I try not to over indulge in credit spending. Not a very good practice IMHO.

The only time I use Discover is for online shopping, but I did use it recently to pay my taxes.

I roll my eyes at you with extreme prejudice:

It isn't stuff I wouldn't have bought anyway. I pay the bill in full every month, I get nauseous if I see a finance charge.

Don't roll your eyes too hard. You're building very good credit by doing that, that is fine. Most of the people I know that charge like crazy don't pay it off right away, and typically don't make enough to warrant using their credit cards like that. Sorry to have assumed you into a stereotypically role.
