A comment on Millions of credit-card customers can’t pay their bills. Parent comment
Uhm technically yes, but functionally no.
When gas was routinely $3.5/gal in SoCAL (where I live), credit price used to be $3.5/gal and cash price $3.4/gal.
My credit card gives me straight 5.2% cash back on purchases at the pump.
I hence pay $3.3/gal - still less than the cash price of $3.4/gal.
