Maybe that's why the 2-month warning.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Received the statement for CareCredit today and right in the first page of minimum due and balance in RED BOLD it says "URGENT, Promotions expering shortly - see above"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I go into the statement I actually have 2 months left so that is a pretty good warning to me!!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thats good however probably does not help me because of paperless statements, now you can do a BT and have plenty of time for it to process&lt;/P&gt;</description>
