J.Crew's Credit Card: Paying Online

Jax, Surfside & others have pointed out an excellent observation (in the "Article on J.Crew's Apology & Stock Price" and "Article on J.Crew Accessories" posts) that needs its own dedicated post.

They all recently received an email about paying J.Crew's credit card online. The following is a portion of the email sent:

"To increase your payment choices, we are making some important changes to your J.Crew bill payment options. You may continue to use the online payment scheduling feature, which allows you to schedule your payment up to 30 days at no charge, or after September 2, 2008, you may choose to PAY TODAY for a $10 fee."

So it sounds as though J.Crew will charge its credit card customers up to $10 for the privledge to pay their bill online.

For those of you who are J.Crew credit card carriers, is this the new policy for paying online- or is this just when you pay last minute? Is there something more that should be included with this email?

P.S. "Thanks!" to Jax, Surfside & others for pointing out this email. Also, I really believe that J.Crew credit card customers deserve better perks. (Refer to Calling all J.Crew Credit Card Customers post.) :)
