I propose we all cancel our credit cards after each purchase, then open a new account with the same credit card company. If we all did that once or twice the credit card companies might start making some noise, don't you think???

Better yet, cancel your credit card, open a new account, then refuse to pay the bill because you didn't read the legal agreement.
