                    Some Tips to Avoid a Credit Card Late Fee
    If you’re even a minute late with a payment, your credit card company can hit you hard in the wallet—as much as $39 each time, according to a July 2008 survey. However, some simple steps can help keep your exposure to these extra costs to a minimum.
    【A1】______
    A few card issuers, including Chase and HSBC, charge extra fees for online payments that you need to post the same day, so even if you pay electronically, do it three to four days ahead so your credit card company will process the payment by the due date.If you’re snail-mailing checks, allow even more time—about 10 days—to allow for mail snafus.And unless you’re desperate, forget about phone payments—a number of banks charge a fee for them, no matter when you call.
    【A2】______
    A few card issuers allow you to choose a due date to coincide with your payday schedule, so a cash shortfall won’t make you late.You can even choose a due date that’s easier to remember.Your birthday’s on Feb.17? Make your credit card payment due on the 17th of each month.
    【A3】______
    Some banks offer an autopay program that links your credit card to a checking or saving account; you decide whether to automatically pay the new balance, the current minimum payment or a fixed dollar amount.If you bank online, you can also arrange a do-it-yourself autopay.Just estimate your usual monthly minimum, schedule a monthly payment date and have the amount deducted from your account automatically.Just make sure you have enough in checking to cover it or the overdraft fees will eat up your saving on late fees.
    【A4】______
    Some credit card companies, including Chase, will alert you of upcoming due dates by e-mail or voice mail.You can also schedule a monthly e-mail reminder through a Web site, such as MemoTo Me.com or RememberthMilk.com.
    【A5】______
    Even conscientious consumers will probably get hit with a late fee at some point.However, if you have a good record of on-time payments, call and politely ask a customer service representative to waive the charge.No dice? Ask to talk to a supervisor, or try again on a different day.You might even threaten to close your accounts with the company—a tactic that worked for Jeff Roth of Molalla, Ore, after his wife’s Chase credit card was hit with a $ 39 late fee when the Fourth of July delayed processing of a payment."My advice to those who feel they have unjustly been assessed late fees is to be assertive about getting the charges removed." Says Roth, who posted about his plight at GetRichSlow-ly.org."It won’t always work, but most credit card companies will least give you one freebie." Next time, though, you may be on your own.Color is very important to most animals for it helps them to get along in the world.

选项
答案A
解析 本段刚开始就提到一些银行提供自动付款服务(autopay program)，将持卡者的其他账户和信用卡绑定；或者如果开通了网上银行的话，还可以使用。“自定义自动付款”功能(arrange a do-it-yourself autopay)，只要账户里的资金足以支付信用卡的支出，这些都可以使持卡者免受因延迟付款而不得不付的late fee。所以本段内容是建 议使用autopay服务故答案选A。
