My revenge on the credit card companies!

So you turned down somewhere between $525 & $786, to get a rise out of one of their customer service representatives.

I also think the credit card companies do some evil things for a profit, but letting them keep all of that interest isn't my idea of revenge.

You must have one of those Discover Card calculators. Mine says $262.

Is my math wrong?

$7500 balance x 14% APY / 12 months = $87.50 in interest each month. 6 months worth = $525. How much interest were they charging you each month?

If discover card is willing to give me 5% back on all of my gas purchases, I'll take it. Without paying any fees or interest.

Enjoyable post. I only use the credit cards for the cashback.

Autoexer if they were making some payments then the amount of interest should decrease a bit each month depending on the amount of their payments and given no additional charges were being made.
