A Credit Card that is overpaid...they send you a statement on a monthly basis stating a negative balance. (-1.00) You will not receive interest or anything. It will sit there until you use your card again. If you have had any hassles with your Wal-mart, Zellers, Sears cards... here's a little food for thought. Overpay them by 10 cents and they are legally bound to send a statement of balance (+ or -). It cost them more money to send you a statement every month. I don't recommend this to all credit card issuers, but if they send you a bill for that interest that occurred of 57 cents when you paid off your card... those are the one that deserve this!!!
