Credit Card Charges Add Up
Have you noticed that using your credit card for small amounts are not requiring your signature?
USA Today (October 10, 2006) reports "card companies are increasingly allowing no-signature transactions for purchases for less than $25 at movie theatres, pharmacies, convenience stores and fast food restaurants. Their goal is to speed up up the checkout process and get more people to pay for everyday items with plastic".
Watch out folks. This is a recipe for disaster. If you do not have the discipline to pay off your credit card each month, adding these types of "convenient charges" will "eat you up alive".
The best tip is Don't Do It.
