From their perspective, they make nothing off of people who don't pay interest or fees. Thus, it only makes sense that the "best" customers are the ones carrying a balance, because they're the ones who generate profits.

18? Ha, it’s closer to 30% for lots of us. They only loads it to the teens for people who aren’t carrying balances.
