While it was a bit of a pain, it wasn't so much that I couldn't order. Thanks to you, I found a replacement wallet. They were quick in sending it and its perfect. I will agree that finding your cart after you put something in it was a royal pain. The train-wreck effect works again :) I saw your comment about big skinny’s web site.

I'm not sure I would apply for a card if I wasn't going to use it at least annually, otherwise, what is the point? Credit scores take into consideration how people use their available credit also. I really never consider interest rates when using a credit card. I always pay my balance in full every month and keep a sufficient cash reserve in an emergency fund for those "unexpected" expenses. I do have one 7.99% fixed rate card from Chase that I keep around as a back up to that emergency fund in case I ever do need to carry a balance. beachmouse,I don’t think it is accurate to say Citi is doubling everyone’s interest rate and cutting their limits in half.

They're right in the middle of doubling everyone's interest rates, cutting a bunch of people's credit limits in half, and then cancelling other people's cards if they've determined that the cardholder isn't using them enough according to some algorhythm.

I've never heard of Kiva until now. Initially, I was going to ignore this post (sorry), but I'm glad I didn't. Kiva gift certificates will be a great gift for some of the people I'm buying for this year. Awesome. I’ve never heard of Kiva until now.
