You need to be more specific.  You will need to have a service to process the credit cards via the bank that issued them.  You also need to validate the credit card as well.  \n\nGo to Verisign and chek out their products.  The have one that you can purchase for a low amount and will charge yo very little each month to use their services.  The program is pretty much canned and requres little programing skills.  \n\nBe aware that after the product is installed, all of your support will be via email which takes a long time to solve an issue.  So, you really need to be more explicit in requesting and providing information or you will be very frustrated.

You will most likely not be authorized for too many charges above your credit line, however one of the dirty little tricks the credit card companies do is "allow" you to go over-limit and then they charge you an "over-limit" fee. Do that a couple of times in a 6 month period and you will get the pleasure of paying their highest rate. A friend of mine gets to pay 31.99% on his card for the next 6 months because that same thing happened to him.\n\nGood Luck

Most people fail to hang on to the terms of their credit card agreements (think about it, did you make a copy when you applied for the card) did you read ALL the fine print? \n\nMost credit card companies have long stipulations on the payment terms for your credit card... especially if there is any type of incentive or introductory offer on the card (0% interest, etc).  \n\nPayment is due on the due date (in their office being processed) prior to a cut off time (in most cases 3pm same as the bank). \n\nCredit card companies bank (no pun intended) on you being late or screwing up, because they make a large amount of their monies on fees and punitive interest rates.   Some credit card companies also shift their PO Box addresses by 1 or 2 numbers so that the delay and forwarding will make you late, and they can theirfore charge your out the nose.\n\nI would try and argue the late fee, tell them that you made an effort to get it out in time and would like to get that removed... be prepared to offer something up, such as another payment in order to have the charge removed...\n\n\nalso $90 seems really high... that is a lot to be charged and may exceed what they are legally allowed to charge...

You sound in great shape.  Just make sure that you always pay your credit cards on time.  This is the most straightforward way to increase your credit over time.\n\nI heard from other people that seactivating your credit card can decrease your credit score.  Just don't use it instead of cancelling it/them.\n\n\nFor more info (under credit section):\nwww.freewebs.com/infosource100

Eeeeek run from that card as fast as you can!!!!!\n\nSeriously, do not activate that card. \n\nMake a copy of the card and then cut the card in half. Write a letter to them that you did not request the card and that you do not want the card. Tell them that since you are refusing the card and returning it, that they CANNOT violate your rights by placing anything on your credit reports. Be sure to include the cut up card in with your letter.\n\nMail it certified mail return reciept. \n\nKeep a copy of the letter and the copy of the card in a file. When you get your green card back from them, keep that with your file with the copy of the letter and card. Paper trail, paper trail.\n\nThen, keep a strong eye on your credit reports to make sure that they are not reporting!!!\n\nI am including a couple of links that may better prove what a scam that card and the company that sent it is.

I would call the credit card company and ask them what the transaction was for. Just tell them that you don't remember what it was for and that you want to make sure that you made that charge to your credit card. Good Luck.

go to the AMEX site referenced on the card and you can register the card number along with your personal details eg address which will allow you to use the card for online transactions. at that point you may call it a pre-paid credit card. :)

Avoid this one like the plague as well.  It's a racket, it isn't a real credit card at all.  They only thing you can buy is overpriced junk from their catalog.  For that dubious privileged they charge you for the "card" and charge you a monthly fee.\n\nSave your money.  It isn't going to help your credit in the slightest.\n\nAnd yes, you will have to pay a shipping fee as well for items you purchase.

Why don't you contact the c/c customer service via their website? With a computer, you can get answers as fast as 48 hours. I have NEVER had any problems(knock on wood!) doing business with my bank or c/c company using their "help" or "ask us" section using my computer. All my payments have debited from my checking account on time and I haven't been late for a long time. The sites are secure and so far, I have not had my identity stolen or any other problems.\nThey aso have 800 numbers and you can talk "live" with a rep. \nIt is April and your problem occured almost 6 months ago. You better hurry or your credit will be shambles!

When you call the bank, they will reverse the charge and issue you a new card. You'll never know who used the card. These things happen so often that they won't really do anything for $500.

I went through the Pinnacle web site and it appears that different features of a program might require activation before that feature can be accessed and used. You might want to contact Pinnacle by email and ask your question, just so you can have something in writing should you decide to give it a try.\n\nhttp://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Support/Consumer+Support/\n\nplrr
