WARNING:  In many states your AMOCO and EXXON cards are not CREDIT cards.

When they started the "discount for cash" policy in Maryland, I was informed
that to keep things legal they were discontinuing giving me credit.  They said
I would have to pay off my GAS bill at the end of each month (which I do anyway
so big deal) and if I didn't they would charge me a 1-1/2 percent late charge
(sounds like finance charge to me).  Clever wording sometimes helps.
