I just paid off my Discover Card and damn did it feel good. They’ve had me bent over for years. I’m going to call them tomorrow (when my payment actually posts) and ask them if they can lower my interest rate. More likely than not, they will say that they can’t, just like they’ve said the other times I’ve asked them. If for some reason they say that they will lower it, I will say, “I need a lower rate than that.” This will continue until they say to me, “I’m sorry sir; I cannot give you a lower interest rate than that.” At this point I will say, “Then close my account please.” And yes, I’m going to ask them for a lower rate just to be a dick. I have no intention of keeping that card.

If all this were a C++ program, it would look something like this:

account.payOff();
string answer = "yes";
while (answer == "yes")
{
   answer = askQuestion("Can I have a lower rate?");
}
account.close();
creditCard.chopUp();
cout << "pwn3d!" << endl;


Sorry about the code but I couldn’t help it. All I could think of while writing that first paragraph was a while loop. Deal.

   Lower your interest rate?? Lower your interest rate?? That’s the best joke I’ve heard all day. Anyway, congrats, man.
