The 5% discount works just fine. As noted above, your issue is with how credit card companies apply payments. Reading the fine print really is important. You didn't think they'd float $18k at 0% out of the kindness of their hearts, now did you?
Since this really has nothing to with Continental I'm going to close the thread.
