...Card's 18.3 million accounts were held by convenience users who took advantage of free lifetime memberships and other benefits while paying their bills in full each month. Industrywide, only 36% of cardholders pay off their balances each month. Although AT&T officials say they have no plans to dock card users for paying up, the company is pondering other ways to persuade the holders to take on more debt...
