At first I saw the One-Dollar Freeze on QEEQ and I kind of wanted to complain. It looked too good to be true. I thought there would be some hidden trick later. I was going to Tromsø in Norway with a lot of luggage and I planned to rent a car for about a week. For me as an overseas traveler my flight and hotel already took a lot of money. If I paid the full rental amount at once my credit card would feel very tight. So I decided to try this plan. When I booked it showed I only needed to pay 1 dollar first. I watched my bank message very carefully. It really only charged 1 dollar and the rest of the money did not go out right away. I felt much more relaxed. I did not need to worry about my card limit at that moment and I did not need to lock all the money so early. I arrived in Tromsø on February 20 in the evening and planned to pick up the car at Avis at 10 am on February 21. The night before I checked my credit card bill. The full rental amount was charged already and the number was the same as the price I saw when I booked. No extra strange fee. I felt this plan was real and clean. No interest tricks. It just moved the real payment time closer to my travel date. When I went to the counter to get the Toyota Corolla Touring I was pushing five big suitcases and I was already tired. But I felt calm because the money was already paid at the normal price. I did not need to stand there and think about card swipes or exchange rates. For someone like me who flies a lot this way of paying 1 dollar first then auto charge later makes the pressure on my credit card much smaller. I also do not need to freeze a big amount of money months before the trip. For me the whole thing was very simple. First I used 1 dollar to lock the car. Then I just waited for the trip. Close to the start date the rest of the money was charged automatically. I did not need to do anything in the middle and I did not see any extra interest or strange charge. As a traveler dragging huge bags all the way to Norway this kind of easy payment plan really fits me.
