I paid my college tuition with my Discover card (back in the mid-90s). I was waiting in line at the student loan office, with my stack of paperwork, when I glanced over and saw a Discover kiosk in the student center. I filled out an application, and in about 10 minutes I had covered my tuition for the semester. I just kept charging my tuition to my Discover card. When I hit the limit, I called them and they bumped it. I probably paid more, but at least I didn't have to deal with the god damn student loan process. Ugh.
