.02 balance, Chase issued a credit adjustment

So after purchases and credits for the return of some merchandise I ended up with a .02 balance due on my Chase Sapphire Preferred card this month. Chase issued a .02 "credit adjustment" to zero out my balance. Never seen this with a credit card before and I've had some low balances on various accounts.

Maybe it costs them more than .02 to process a payment so they decided to comp you?

I had Chase do the same for me on a SWA Business CC with a $0.05 balance. I assume it is more expensive for them to send my paper statement; so, it certainly makes sense.

Chase always writes off balances of up to $0.99 on their credit cards. It's a pretty common practice among the major card issuers.

Time to hit the 99-cent store once a month with the cards I've been holding onto just as a bargaining chip!

I normally pay down my credit cards to $0 before the statement closes, whenever possible. Is there any reason not to pay it down to $0.99 instead, and take the free money?

I recently charged a buck for an amazon gift card to keep Discover card active. When I went to pay it off today, a buck was credited to my account. Earned 1 point for "Everywhere Else" category and 10 points for "Online bill pay rewards"?? Bonus!

I went to buy a sports drink on a jog once with a Barclaycard US Air Mastercard. The drink turned out to be on sale for $0.89. I had no other money so I went ahead figuring I'd buy something bigger one day to make it up to the merchant.

Barclays waived the charge so I got 35,001 free USAir miles.

My daughter got a Kohls.com charge down to $0.01 after nested discounts once. We figured Kohl's would never run the charge since it would cost them more to run the charge than to collect it. But, the 1 cent showed up on my Freedom card the next month.

I assume large retailers have flat-rate or bulk transaction fee agreements so they never lose on any particular charge

These days most people pay percentage, they don't take the whole thing under a dollar anytmore.

It looks like Chase is no longer granting small credit adjustments. On my last statement, I was billed $0.99.

Same here. Four different Chase cards all just closed and charged me $0.99 each when they had previously been crediting my account for that amount.

Similar story... I had a zero percent offer on my Menards BIG account so I set up repeating payments to make sure it got paid off in time. Turns out that my account ended up w/ a $0.05 credit (I overpayed) due to rounding each payment. The following month, they zeroed it out and kept my nickel! Goes both ways, I guess.

That's my money. I had them take away my 8 cents they owed me!
