It's threads like this that teach me things but also set off my paranoia antenae. I hate having credit on a card, it always leads to a screw up. It seems that big companies like Macy's and Sears like to screw with people, any way they can. The way they do it is ti use illogical thinking and BINGO, you are screwed because you are thinking logically.

I made the mistake of going to Sears to get tires a couple months ago, had to drive an hour to get there and had told them what I wanted beforehand. Got there and it took a half hour to get checked in (so I'm already fuming). Once they find out I'm there they tell me it will be THREE hours before they can get the car in, I say forget it. They say well that will be a 15% restocking fee. You can see where this is going. Good thing I charged them on the AMEX card, credit was issued but only after damn near coming to blows.

I feel your pain.
