All I've had to do is call and ask. They don't need a reason or anything. I've done it with the GM Mastercard and also the Citibank Platinum card. Still better to pay on time, of course, but it is nice to know that if you only do it very occasionally, you probably won't be penalized.

Glad you were able to get your payment in--and on time! I’m a huge supporter of online banking and online payments, but you’ve just highlighted how it’s not always the most convenient choice.
