AOPA credit card --- WARNING.
If you have an AOPA/MBNA credit card then you should check the APR on your
last statements. MBNA has been raising the APR on AOPA cardholders, even if you pay on time. So check your credit card statements and call AOPA credit card services to complain. And also call MBNA to drop the rate back down. |

Anybody who carries a balance on any credit card is an idiot or a sucker. The credit card companies hate me because I haven't paid a cent of interest to any of them in 3 years. I get about 5 envelopes full of Visa checks every month (as well as come-ons for new cards) because they want to sucker me into that debt cycle. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ Microsoft - Where quality is job 1.0.1 |

If you can't afford to pay off the balance at the end of the month, then you can't afford to use the card in the first place. |

The Fed rates have gone up so so should retail credit rates.

Nothing in my post warranted your response. I'll put it this way, if you don't like what they offer, close your account. MBNA isn't holding a gun to your head. Sheesh! |

Nobody is *forcing* you to buy what you can't currently afford, you know. Back before credit cards existed, people actually saved up money ahead of time for major purchases, instead of all this "buy now and pay later" instant gratification stuff. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ "Outside of a dog, a good book is a man's best friend.

No, but the *******s sure do try to seduce you into the deficit spending lifestyle, and they try to start us off early. Just go into any college dorm lobby or study area and the place will be awash with credit card applications. Guess who puts them there? Guess why? Back before credit cards existed, people actually saved up money ahead of time for major purchases, instead of all this "buy now and pay later" instant gratification stuff. Agreed. Vaughn |

Yep, just like everyone with something to sell, be it credit cards, cars, beer or drugs (legal ones!). Pays to teach your kids self-discipline very early on. Matt |
