I hate credit card companies. Yesterday I received my bill. It says to allow 9 days for mailing, only I only had 7 days til the due date on the day I got the statement in. I did call them, and they are willing to extend the due date 5 days.
Since I didn't really have enough time to insure my payment reached them in time, I had my husband make an internet payment of the minimum to allow adequate time for me payment to be posted. BIG MISTAKE! The company told me that by making a partial payment, it starts interest incurring even if my payment reaches them before the due date.
This explains why a few months ago I had to pay interest. I received a $300 credit from something I had returned. That started the interest clock, and I had to pay interest the following month even though I had paid in full.
