   Hello John!

    JD> LOL. I've always been peeved that the rules that apply to us   
    JD> (consumuers/customers) don't apply to the businesses.   
      
   Also.. When a bill has a specific date upon which the bill is     
   due, I can make the payment "right away" online, but the bank/    
   creditcard company still tells you that in order for that     
   payment to be recorded in "their" system my payment needs to be     
   made 3 or 4 days prior!  Well F that!  The problem is THEIR     
   system. I shouldn't be penalized when THEIR system doesn't     
   deliver the funds until 3 or days later, when I've honored the     
   payment date!   
      
   Meanwhile, I've discovered a process that WILL register my CC     
   payment immediately: a transfer!  I noticed that the interest     
   on a cash advance is calculated the day the money is extracted.     
   The reverse process of that is a transfer from another account     
   or another card. When I bypass the "bill payment" to a CC and     
   simply "transfer" money to it, the amount sent to the account     
   is registered and adjusted right away.   
      
   I think I discovered that when I took a cash advance from the     
   wrong CC.  The only way I could put it back was via transfer. I     
   recall that the previous balance was reinstated and everything     
   was if the cash advance never happend.   
      
   Now I pay last minute / last day CC bills via transfers.
