Changing your due date/statement date can skew things a bit until you get a statement with the new date, so I bet you'll see your fee post on the next statement.
Thanks...I guess. I was hoping not to see it at all.

I did this with a credit card last summer, and shared in the forums. Because of it, I got a few weeks extra to pay my balace down (large balance, rolling month to month) to 0 before the due date and saved myself a few hundred bucks. I was thrilled and it hurt but the savings was worth it.
