Disappearing Money

I thought I was being smart, getting money credited to my checking account from my credit card so I could smoothly pay off my tuition without going home to get cash. Apparently that's not a courtesy service provided by my credit card company and I was charged for the transaction. Bummer. If I had paid for my tuition in two parts, one from the credit card and one from checking, I wouldn't have received the delightful finance charges. Funny and sad.

I really ought to have a booklet of the do's and don'ts and potential repercussions surrounding my card. It's sort of like the Bible verse "How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?" But I suppose the credit card company would prefer I remain unblissfully ignorant.
