Totally not my fault, but if that starts a chain reaction you won't get reimbursed for any third-party fees or consequences. You can have separate accounts (I don't pay bills out of the PP account), but you'll get float times. On the overdraft fees the big banks are trying to avoid losing about $20B in revenues.
It's also the same bank that suddenly raised monthly minimum payments to 5% (from 2%) on thousands of cardholders who had parked large balances at low percentage rates. Not that anyone out there is running an eBay business on a credit card... But for those who do have 'em, the financial crisis has helped show who the good guys and bad guys are.
