I had a s...Wow that was nice of commonwealth bank. I had a similar problem with them but a not so happy answer.<br /><br />I use my credit card for pretty much every purchase, since unlike eftpos i can make as many purchases a month without fees (get like 4 a month with eftpos, boo).<br /><br />Anyway, I get a monthly statement that says what I owe etc... but since I use internet banking never really pay attention to statements. When pay day arrives, look at amount due on credit card, pay it off in full. Since I get paid once a month that all works out pretty well.<br /><br />However once I got distracted, and had used card for some big purchases, so guessed the amount that it had been overdue on payday and paid that, figuring close enough was good enough.<br /><br />Turns out, if you get a statement that says you owe $X, and you pay all but $1 of that, after 55 days they will charge you interest on the full $X until that last $1 is paid.<br /><br />Of course I didn't realise this until i got the statement the next month, and found that I had been charged $60. Was not happy and rang up to find out why, and they just said something along the lines of so sad, but its in the terms and conditions so suck it.<br /><br />Boo to you commonwealth.
