Re: O/T do you use easy pay?

Sometimes. I only like to use it on higher priced items. I don't like to see charges for $7 month after month.

Re: O/T do you use easy pay?

Frankly I my opinion of easy pay is that anything under $50 should on no more than two payments. It seems ridiculous to me to have a $7 or $8 charge appearing on your statement for 4 or 5 months. As for the $50 to $100 range that should be no more than three payments. Now, I know that I shouldn't preach about how many easy payments there should be for certain amounts because we all have different budgets. For some that may mean if a $50 item has 5/$10 payments that makes the difference between buying and not buying. I apologize to anyone who feels offended by my remarks.

This is off the topic of easy pay, but personally I'd rather beat the drum that QVC should jump on a common bandwagon amongst retailers of offering free shipping for purchases over a certain amount. It varies from retailer to retailer what the magic number is, but it's a prevalent practice. Q's TV rivals HSN and Shop HQ also often offer free shipping on their today's specials (or whatever names they call them) regardless of the amount.

I use it, but keep my total monthly EZ pays under $30 a month. I don't mind the $5-$7 payments for a few months. Never have to worry about not having those amounts in my account, ha, ha.
