I created a one-time use credit card through my VISA card holder with a $35 limit -- just because their site gave me pause. I got a confirmation e-mail with a price of $49.99, a discount of $0.00, shipping of $6.00, and a total of $31.00! I always wondered what happened to the accountants from Enron.
