I spent about half an hour looking for that on my Discover card's website, and still couldn't find it.

People know their balances, they just refuse to acknowledge them. You could have a marching band come and play when the bill comes in and fireworks light up the sky with the balance and people won't respond. There sure is a lot of credit hate, and I'm always fascinated by it. Credit Cards provide a service and do not force you to use them. I realize that many people are in debt and have high interest rates, but AMEX didn't tell you to buy that Garth Brooks CD or go out to eat dinners instead of making food at home and having leftovers. I've had credit card debt and I've done the years of eating ramen to pay them off. I still don't hate them. I think it’s nonsense. People know their balances, they just refuse to acknowledge them.
