Hi, welcome to Mylot. I have over 3 credit cards, some of these credit card companies, try to be half way slick. I have this one credit card from Las vegas, they don't give you a grace period, if you don't pay before or on that day, they charge you late fee, I was one day late, and they charge me 49.00. I only paid 20.00 a month on the card, the card was 200.00
