Best Buy Deceitful Business Practice

FWtex said

This reminds me of the Home Depot and probably others scam where they offer you a no interest type deal if you get a card for your first purchase. Usually people do this for a large purchase like a riding mower or some big purchase. Well when they go to use that card again the purchase is charged interest and the catch is your payments are credited to the oldest charge first. In this situation you are paying off the no interest charge while the interest bearing charges are sitting their accruing interest every month until your non interst charge is paid off.

thats in the fine print in credit card apps. the way it worked on one of mine i used to have (notice i said "used to") is i bought a tv at circuit city (never again) and that was about $1000. then i didnt know that if i charged something else before that tv was paid off part of my payment will go to the tv and part will go to something else. so i bought something else. and i luckily was able to pay it all off before the end but if not, i would have had to pay for the rest of the tv and all the interest i "would have" had to pay for those 6 months would have gone onto the account and id have to pay all that as well.

but the reason i said "used to" is cuz after it was paid off they still charged me a monthly note, so that day i had that note fixed and i cancelled the card.
