- Are you sure there is no catch for that card? I have gotten several credit
- card offers that offer no fee, 25 days grace period, and 2% rebate. But,
- the catch is, in order to get the 2% rebate, you have to carry a balance
- beyond 25 days grace period (i.e. you have to borrow money from them).
- If you pay off the balance on time each month, you won't get the rebate
- at all. Correct me if I am wrong.
