The term for us, who pay off their entire balance every month, is "deadbeats".

That’s an interesting term for “profitable customer who pays their debts”

I'd be much more profitable to them if I didn't pay the debts, and they'd accrue the usurious interest charges.

I found this out (and the term) after discovering my credit score was lower than I expected. With some investigation, it was low because it showed I had a lot of credit card debt. Paying it off each month did not factor into the credit score.
