I just took a look at my credit card statement and it seems that Credit One Bank has increased their online payment 'fee' - It's now $7.95 a transaction! Add that to the $5.95 per month we're likely all paying per month towards the 'annual fee' and what do you get? Answer: a grand total of $13.90 per month JUST TO PUT THEIR CARD IN OUR WALLET.
$7.95? Really?! I have a card through Household Bank. Free online payments. I also have a card through Capital One. Stop me if you know the answer, but yes, it's free online payments as well.
Sure, I could mail them a check, but oh wait. This is 2008!! Who the heck still mails checks? I can't remember the last time I dusted off my checkbook. I also like the fact that I have a solid paperless trail with my online payments so I don't have to worry about 'missed payments' or 'late fees'.
Sure, I could call and cancel the card but after several numbers, lots of tries and absolutely no humans around (Daytime hours, needless to say!) I found this website.
If anyone has a direct phone number that gets me an ACTUAL HUMAN at Credit One, lemme know!
