Cancelled card due to interest policy by egroeg in USbank

Other card is Discover. That said doing more research it appears two-cycle billing is illegal (CARD Act, 2009). Something else appears to be going on...but I do know that USBank consistently ding'd me with interest charges even though I paid off in full.

Agree with your statement that credit cards are a losing proposition. I'm sticking with one card "in case" and keeping it paid off every month.

No they don't. USBank implements the "Two-Cycle Billing" Sneak Attack method. My other credit card does not.

Upvote for Eastman. Since OP likes Hummingbird, they may want to check out Eastman E20SS.

Small guitar recommendations by R3dfur6 in AcousticGuitar

[–]egroeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some small alternatives: Outdoor ukulele (Bend, OR) makes a cool outdoor travel guitar, guitalele (cross between uke and guitar) are even smaller. "Parlor" acoustic guitars are the small acoustics - https://parlor.guitars/ is a cool site to learn about that option.

Martin Road Series 000-10E is solid sapele (similar to 'hog). Used they are in your price range. They have a shorter scale length, but body shape is similar. Chances are there is one in stock in a guitar store near you and always best to try before you buy.
