My last post was about having paid my account in full; all payments posted and showing a $0 balance and yet it still only showed a $209 credit available. As an added note I pay them immediately because their interest is 49.9%, you read that right 49.9%. I'll quote them below, but bottom line is in their fine print they have the right to withhold credit for up to 20 repeat 20 days or longer if circumstances warrant to insure your funds clear. No payment has ever bounced they get funds immediately directly from my bank; this is plain bullsh*t. This is unbelievable.
Even banks can no longer hold funds for more than 5 days in this electronic age. So what is their if circumstance warrants conditions? What a f*@king rip. Run do not walk from this biggest rippoff company there ever was. I implore all people to right their congressmen and senators to real in these rippoff banks and credit cards; There is a bill before congress to reinstate states rights to limit interest charged; of which the banks are fighting.
Anyway, here's their statement to my inquiry;
