AMEX isn't "lifting your wallet"? I thought the yearly fees were pretty steep on
those.

I'm pretty happy with my Capital One commercial VISA. MBNA bought out my other
card provider, so I'm looking for another. I'll check out BofA.

$50 on the corporate card, $0 on the BofA Visa.

I've had very good service and attention from BofA for, oh...25 years now.

I used to have Carte Blanche (?),and they aere fabulous, but no one takes it
where I travel (ie, the boonies).

What really surprised me was that AmEx was the most reasonable on interest
rates; but their grace period is the shortest of all the cards that I
carry. It is currently my card of choice (I never thought that would
happen).

When I took a month-ling trip to Australia, I needed a temporary increase
in my credit line. MBNA said no, AmEx said no problem.

I had a Discover Card at one time and, like all my other cards, paid by
Electronic Funds Transfer. They were taking as many as 5 days to credit
the payment so they could hit me with late charges. After my bank
reimbursed me for the late fees, I closed the account.

I had exactly the same problem with the Discover card. I had paid by
check, and was able to show that they cashed it before their late
payment deadline (with a photocopy of the canceled check). They then
said that it was necessary for the payment to get through their system
before the deadline, and the date they cashed it was irrelevant.

Amazing.

I paid it off and closed the account.

I bought a car on my AMEX card...quick verification call, no problem.

Years ago, Citibank was found to be sitting on mail so that things would be
a day late.

Untrue and a libel against good credit card companies. When I found out my
Lowe's card was with MGCCB (monogram credit card bank), same bunch of
aXXholes, I trashcanned it. Those people don't walk; they slither.
Google them if you want to read some horror stories. MBNA is monogram bank,
na.

Same with Bank of America: I avoid them like they are plague because of
their deceptive, predatory banking practices, which they say (by lying) are
industry-wide practices. My son was banking with them until I suggested
that if he wanted to inherit his per stirpes portion of my estate, he had
better find another bank. That's how strongly I feel about those SOB's.
