Bingo! I purchase everything with my Cabela's card, just to get the points, then pay the full balance at the end of the month. Haven't carried over a balance or paid a cent of interest in over 12 months.

I do it this way to preserve my credit, build my credit limit/score and make sure I have enough credit should a serious emergency come around.

Stolen. I love this idea and will be using it.

I've called CrapitalOne about a dozen times asking them to take me off their list. Told them at one point that I was considering getting a card from them (and I was) but the blatant harassment made me wonder - if this is how they treat people they're trying to acquire, how poorly do they treat their customers.

Bank of America was changing my due date and the address/state of where the payments went. They did this at least 5 times.
Sneaky.
