Rounding-off Quirks ??
Was double-checking a reward card statement & noticed an odd 'round-off' behavior -- $x.50 rounds down / $x.51 rounds up. New Math? 
Happened to be an MBNA Visa -- sneaky bastages -- but, no doubt it happens everywhere...
Lots of $x.52 charges at the gas pump now! Turn-about's fair play, no?
Good stories, anyone?

Follow my logic: If you do this 40 times a month you net 20 miles
20/month x in just 1,250 months (104 years)you'll get that free trip to Des Moines, IA you were always looking for.
Seriously its not even worth provoking a thought.
