If real life was lik eNumb3rs, the DTV switch would be a non-issue; a message could be overlaid on the digital payload to broadcast an - Beryllium Jan 22, 12:08 4

Crap. Just realized the credit card payment I was 1 day late on was the one I had moved a large balance to at a promotional rate. - Dano Jan 22, 12:02 18
- So, should I call them and be proactive and apologetic about the late payment or just wait to see if they raise my rate first? -- nm - Dano Jan 22, 12:09 2
  - (I expect to and am totally fine with paying a late fee. I deserve that. I just want to keep my interest rate where it is.) -- nm - Dano Jan 22, 12:11 1
    - call and grovel. I'd be interested to see what they do. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 12:12
- Depends on if you call them up and scream loud enough. - Jim Jan 22, 12:05 9
  - I won't scream. But I'll let them know that I have another card with zero balance that I can move the entire account to with a few clicks. - Dano Jan 22, 12:07 3
    - Ahhhh... I always loved those threats. Especially the reactions when they didn't work. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 12:10 2
      - My reaction will be thank you for your assistance followed by me transferring the balance online. -- nm - Dano Jan 22, 12:12 1

- Depends on the company. I had a 0% promo with Chase I made a late payment on that didn't get jacked. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 12:04 1
  - Trying to read the fine print. I'm hoping it's two late payments before they go to the penalty rate. -- nm - Dano Jan 22, 12:05
- Oops. - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 22, 12:03 2
  - I'll call them and move the balance to another card even at a higher rate just out of spite if they do. -- nm - Dano Jan 22, 12:04 1

        [deleted] 13
        
        You can do 2 things: call a 3rd party ticket agent, or do group sales with the Sox, but you need a group of 20. - TFox Jan 22, 12:03 12

Wait a minute. If I'm reading this correctly, the estimate is that only 6.5% of the nation is "unready for the DTV switch?" - JaxSean Jan 22, 11:53 12

- It's not really even that high. Their definition of "totally unready" is dumb. - Dr.Vermin Jan 22, 11:56 4
