And you wonder why these companies make rules after rules about how you can pay and when you can pay and what you can pay.
It's a bit silly to really think your punishing them for making them report a penny credit that costs them 35 cents to mail plus the cost of paper and handling etc.
However if that's what blows your skirts up then more power to you. Keep that credit there for a few more months and then try to cash the check they send you to zero out the balance. I'm sure it'll raise the eyebrows of the cashier at the bank.
