The University of Alberta administration has decided to no longer accept payments by credit card.

  1. Good, it was always just a way for students' parents to collect Air Miles while being subsidized by students paying through traditional means.

    I say parents because, even now, its going to be hard to find a student who's credit card features a $3500 limit.

  2. Really?

    I've used a credit card to pay for my tuition as a last resort (i.e. after not being approved for a student loan, working two jobs during the summer to save for school, working during the school year, etc.). I also don't collect Air Miles, so your argument is moot to me (and may other individuals I'm sure).

  3. I have also paid my tuition through credit card, and I do so to get airmiles. Why shouldn't I be able to get a little something back, with our educations costing so much.

    I'm a student, and I have a $4500 limit. We are out there. If you are jealous that I can get a high limit, perhaps you shouldn't have taken fine arts.
