I haven't actually made any payments on my student loans yet and am still in deferment so I've no idea how it looks and what is allowed or not after going past a certain point in their website process for payments.

I got a job offer literally the day after applying for deferment (which was a day before the grace period ended and my first payment was due).

Since I'm in deferment, I don't have any minimum payments due until around February 2013.

My first paycheck will be for zero'ing out my credit card (gas/food/etc.) and a small loan from my brother so I'll post an update towards the end of the month when I get my 2nd paycheck and what Sallie Mae will or will not let me do.
