Minor complaint
I just got my credit card bill today and I owe them a whopping $0.95! I went online to pay my extravagant bill - and the dumb thing wouldn't let me pay - it said that the smallest amount that I could post is $1.00. . .so after a call to the friendly customer help service desk - they told me that I will have to mail a check in for the amount. . .
mail? you mean like I used to do back in 1999 with an envelope & stamp and stuff. . .check? you mean that funny little rectangle paper thing with the perforated edges thing - I don't think I've used a check since 2002 - I don't even know where my checkbook is. . .I guess I could simply pay a dollar & save myself some time. . .but then the credit card company is getting five cents more than they deserve - but does it really make sense for me to deny them five cents and send a check for 95 cents enclosed in an envelope that cost me 2 cents and a stamp that is 37 cents - whats that?. . .stamps have gone up?. . .to what?. . .oh dang it!
This unique situation has only one solution - I need to go out and buy that pair of shoes I wanted so that my balance will be over the stupid $1.00 limit so that I can use the online payment center.

LOL. That's a good solution. I'm surprised they didn't just cancel your less than $1.00 balance.

Just send them $1.01 and then they will have to send you a check for $0.06 in a few months. That will teach them not to send you a bill for less than $1.
