Sorry for the late jump in but I agree with this approach whole-heartedly. As long as someone can pay off the card in cash (i.e. never purchase...
Well, nothing says Christmas like finishing off a year of price increases with an across the board clad coins price increase. Ho ho ho, Merry...
I have to say that this purchase experience went much smoother than the 2021 Morgan fiasco. They may have figured it out. ...either that or not...
