So as much grief as I give new people for being OCD with utilization by adjusting payment due dates and trying to have everything paid before statement cuts.... I actually do pay several transactions a month, almost instantly after the swipe. (helps me keep track of things more easily, yes I know its quirky, but it works for me!)
Anyway, I made two small purchases on my new DC card. Wednesday for $20. And today for $35. I went online this morning, and paid the $20. It said it would not be processed until the 10th. Ok...thats fine.
Then, I log on again this afternoon, and attempt to make a payment, of $35. It would not let me select any day in the month of August... um ok.... So then I went in to pending payments, and it gave me the option to edit my current $20 one. SO I changed it to $55, and hit submit. Nope, denied. It would not allow overpayment.
Ok, so um, why would it let me schedule a payment for september, for whatever I amount I choose ( was able to do this, and canceled it) but yet if I wanted to increase my current payment, it wont let it???
I know this gets into that whole crazy territory of that purchase tracker thing. That is not what this is about. I was going to circumvent any possible confusion by editing not only the payment amount, but delaying it to the middle of next week so that $35 would post. Nope, couldn't do that either...... This is exactly why I get frustrated with trying to micromanage stuff, and its just better to let things go, whether they post to statement date or not (and yes I am WELL aware if I would wait another day or two, I would not have this problem, but that is not the point).
That would be kinda awesome though, if everytime you threw monty into the citi card, that it automatically gave you 1 percent back, regardless if you had purchased anything or not. Lol.
