If it sounds too good to be true ...

Does this offer seem a little ... self-serving?
A leaflet enclosed in my credit-card bill suggests that to thank me for my loyalty, they'll let me skip paying this month's bill "without incurring a late fee." Wow! Such largesse!
Then you get to the fine print at the bottom: "Remember, in any month when you decide not to pay your balance in full by the due date, you will be assessed interest charges."
Thanks, but no thanks. That's an offer I have no problem refusing. It's not exactly deceptive, just on the sneaky side.
