auto fill put the wrong zip code for me on ( my only 8) ) staples rebate so when I realized I called them up to change it, and they had no problem with it. it might be possible with a cc app also.

I booked a flight for PGGM, and then realized that the return didn't have EC seats.

Is experimenting with new methods of MS and getting hit with a CA fee a dumb mistake? I would like to think not. What do the veterans say?

How much did it cost you
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

$10 Barclays CA fee; plus $4.95 for the merchant fee where I tried the MS; plus whatever interest they will nail me with when cycle closes. (Yes, I paid off the whole balance on the card as soon as I saw the charge post as a CA.)

Sure, if you will then not share with anybody who didn't kick in to the R&D fund.
