v. cool. psychologically i think revolvers sometimes hold on to the initial promise of low interest even as balances rise. i wonder if there would be significantly fewer card holders likely to revolve if a chart like yours was posted in the t&c's

This was like you said a reality check so to speak not to work off of. But the other problem too is after the UTL gets up there long enough people who are just barely making min payments could with higher interest have to make larger min payments due to more interest causing them to miss payments. Kinda make one think if it is ever a good idea to allow UTL to get up there?
It sure does! Nice work, thanks again
