[...] Was just going through this sites stats and stumbled across an interesting tidbit: a full 38% of my referrals from search engines go to my ‘Poor MBNA‘ post (re: their declining revenue because of high customer payments) back in April. [...]

I did my part too! I had a credit line from MBNA and the interest rate went up 2% in 9 months even though I never had a late payment and always paid at least double the minimum. I think I was being punished because they couldnt make money off of me. Well I didn’t appreciate my interest rate going up so I found a credit card with a 0% interest for 4 months then a fixed rate which was 4 percent lower than my MBNA rate. This was a good story to hear, poor MBNA, I wish I could feel sorry for them.

I’m glad to say that I’m one of the suckers who are taking MBNA down peg by peg. Or at least releasing myself of servitude to that company.

It’s also great to hear good collective financial news for us little folks, instead of those nasty giants!

What I do is set a reminder in Outlook 3 days before every bill is due and have it reoccur at that date every month. However, I did run into a problem last week where I thought the payment was due this week, but it was due last week (I don’t know how my reminder got off by 6 days). I’ve got one for each of my five credit cards so it works out nicely.

They change the due date each month!? That’s ridiculous ridiculous.

I�m glad to hear of MBNA�s �misfortune,� but wouldn�t the 17th be on a different day every month and only happens to fall on a Sunday in April by chance? (it only happens in July of �05 also)

That’d be true enough – assuming my due date would be the same every month. Unfortunately, it’s not; it’s always shifting around a day or three. For instance, looking at my online bill, next month’s is due the 15th, which falls on a (pulling up my calendar)… well, what do you know, a Sunday. That said, I don’t honestly know if it’s been a Sunday consistently (my statements are at home and I am not or I’d look); I’ll have to take a look this evening.

The real problem with the Sunday scheduling is that they can certainly do a little something for, instead of against, their customers and help avoid this particular potential trip up – after all, they won’t even let me think about scheduling an automatic payment on a Sunday (or a Saturday, for that matter). That they’re not with their paper bills tells me it almost has to be intentional.
