	I don't understand what advantage there is to putting an
	earlier date on the charge slip. They are not going to get
	any money from the bank until the bank receives the charge,
	so what difference does it make what day the charge was dated?
	Unless they have a time machine or something. On my credit card
	statements I have two dates the transactions date and the
	posting date at the bank, what was the posting date?
