Bank One purchased First USA I believe. My payment due date is often about a week to 10-12 days from when I receive my statement.

My bill closed on 3/12 - I received the bill on 3/19 and it's due on 4/1. They're also pulling another fast one...

The envelope LOOKS like junk mail. The return address is "Cardmember Services" versus First USA (as before). Above the address it says "statement enclosed."

I think this is very misleading. Lots of junk mailers use nebulous envelopes to try to get people to open then. I almost threw this one away.

My new rule - I check the website near my cycle closing date and schedule a payment immediately for a week before it's due.

This company gets uglier & uglier.
