[quote=Anonymous]So I must have miscalculated something and got an alert from mint today that my intro 0% interest rate on a credit card ended on March 1st.  I had it in my mind that it was 18 months and apparently it was 12.  So basically I have to pay $1000 by the due date in 5 days or will have to pay almost 24% interest.  first of all 24%?  I have almost an 800 credit score so how is this amount based on "credit worthiness"?  Obviously I have to pay it but I work part time and don't have an extra $1000.  As a family we do but I really don't want to tell my husband as he doesn't even know I have this card and he would be extremely disappointed.  here are my options:
1.  Tell my husband.  he will 100% pay it off but he will be upset.
2.  I can pay about $700 of it by the due date and then I'd just have to deal with the finance charge for 1 month but I would absolutely be able to get it done by the next due date.

Thoughts?  I know in the grand scheme the ~$250 is not a huge deal but seriously that rate in obnoxiously high.
