Credit Card Promotional Balances Lack Persistent Payment Allocation Rules

Credit card issuers apply payments to low-interest balances first by default, requiring customers to call each billing cycle to redirect extra payments toward promotional balances with deferred interest. The absence of persistent allocation preferences makes avoiding surprise interest charges dependent on remembering to call monthly. No consumer-facing tool provides automated reminders or persistent allocation enforcement.
