So, this message came into my in-box today:

Pay tuition with any American Express® Card now through September 30, 2008 and enjoy savings from 15 participating merchants in retail, travel, technology and more, available especially for students and parents during the back-to-school season. Visit On Campus and get these offers and many more.

Since the home equity line has dried up, might as well charge it and earn discounts on buying More More More. Put it this way, consumers who resort to charging tuition do not need a reminder that they can do so.

And while I’m ranting, creditors, if you are reading this, I am not interested in your “convenience” checks. A week doesn’t go by without a mailbox full of these offers. Just yesterday, I received a snail mail reminder from a credit card with a zero balance that my credit limit is $12,000 and I should feel free to start charging. Start shredding is more like it.

Maybe we should start “whiny Wednesdays” on Ka-Blog!

Readers, what’s getting your financial goat these days?
