Well that was a sweet shout out – thx my friend! You’re totally right, if you don’t pay them off in full it’s bad news bears.

Okay, SS4BC. I think you got a much better deal than me. And it sounds as if you’re the responsible one in this party. LOL. There was a time we were using the card and then paying it off. As you see by the balance that stopped.

We don’t use credit cards anymore now that we’re climbing out of this sustantial debt. So, it’s a hate relationship with me. And I do know about the interest hike. Went thru that too. Clearly credit cards are not for me!

I also have the Hawaiian Airlines Visa. I got about 4 interisland flights for free when I first signed up AND a free companion flight from the mainland to the islands. Which was pretty sweet, I’d admit.

Now, 5 years later, I’m still paying the $50/yr fee – but I do have a “free” round trip flight to Hawaii – and I’m about 10,000 miles away from a free round trip to Australia.

Oh yeah, and because of one late payment (was received 1 day late) – I went from a 10% interest rate to 27%. YIPPE!
