I confine all my purchases to ITEMS. And they all go on one card, the one with the quickest operators and service. Then I only have to check That Statement each month for errant charges. No one else gets any other number. The contested charges hassle really gets them (card issuers) on your side. Thanks to Congress, btw. Just never give the suckers out. I don't. Ever. Except for purchases. Actual, physical, products; from highly reputables like Harry and David. Or warrantied equipment.

{{>>The ACTUAL way to do it is to call you card issuer and tell them you won't pay for any more. End of story without wait.<< Excellent point. And always read your bank statements/credit card statements. }} Doesn't work quite that easy. Your card issuer is a 3rd party credit line and plays under different rules. That's why large retailers like Sears has their credit department as a subsidiary holding. Just not paying your AOL charge will cost you oodles of boodle in finance charges.
