You don't get a bill, but they get their money from transaction fees and
interest. They take a little bit from all to make up for the losses.
Meanwhile it is the banks who are really gouging everyone. They charge
interest to those who owe them, but pay almost none to those whose money
they are using, and they are making billions off us. The crooks who
steal cards and siphon money from people are small potatoes compared to
the banks.
