A cardholder applied for a credit card based on an in-flight 0% APR promotional offer but was later charged interest, and the issuer requires proof of the original offer terms that the customer no longer has. This leaves promotional financing offers effectively unenforceable without documentation the customer isn't expected to retain.

HR administrators using Gusto find the payroll section difficult to navigate for non-routine payment types like severance, where the workflow is buried or unclear.
