CONTEST QUESTION
Your auto insurance bill arrives; it's $600.00 for 6 months of coverage, ugh. Luckily, to make paying easier, they give you the option of spreading this out over 3 monthly payments. The catch is they charge you an additional "convenience" fee of $3 per payment.

The same day you also receive a credit-line check offer from one of your credit cards, with no check fees, that is good for 3-months with a 5.99% APR.

What's better (cheaper) to do and why?
Take the insurance company's payment plan offer.
Use the credit line (5.99% offer) check to pay the car insurance in full for $600.00.
Can't figure it out.

Technical Note: No matter which choice you make, you must pay off the $600.00 principal in exactly 3 monthly payments.

Why? (Answer Below)
