If you don't pay off your monthly credit card statement in full you will have to pay 25% interest until its paid off, not fun. So instead as a fail safe, I created 2 cashapp accounts, 1 attacked to my checking account for my bank, and 1 attached to my credit card.

Yes, this is definitely it - a loophole. No way credit card issuers are smart enough to put up guardrails against this.

... yes, that was sarcasm.
