Did You Know?

The financial companies use different ways of making money. Not forcing you to pay while you have placed the order means that they are giving you some facility for which you will be charged later. It's better to pay the bills right on the spot so that you don't pay the extra charges later and have an account opened in your name. It's my way of taking things.

I've seen that service offered, and it is usually (on the reputable sites I've seen it on at least) marketed that it would be a credit acct, not just a bill later.

It's confusing though, because I know that some catalog sales companies will offer a "bill me later" option, where they authorize your credit card to ship the order, then the charge is actually posted to the account at the later date. There should be some different terminology used.

That would give me the creeps. To issue a credit card account requires a valid signature at the bottom of a legal disclosure!

Anybody want a good laugh? The alarms at my grocery store kept going off around me, so the store manager had to go through my little backpack purse and take whatever she thought was setting off the alarms through the scanners! It turned out that my bottle of Stacker 3 was causing it! I buy all my exercise supplements from wholesalers on e-Bay who nevertake the security tages off! The customer traffic in the store today was so low that that little whoops drew everyone's attention!

LOL at Ari :lol: Had that happen in a drugstore that was packed with people once. I practically had to disrobe before they found out somethin in my jacket caused it to go off,though they couln't find out what. Don't wear that jacket much anymore,was my face red,plus felt like a criminal trying to shoplift :lol: :oops: ...Karen

Ooooh, how embarassing! That has always been my biggest fear, those stupid sensor-matic things!!!
