Honesty for About a Dollar

Recently I had a situation where I had a couple of bucks left on a gift credit card, and I decided to buy a few songs before a service charge zeroed the account the next day. I bought one song, then looked around for a second song and bought it.

However, when I looked at the payment profile, I saw that only the first one went against the card, with the second one listed as pending. This concerned me, as I wanted to be sure that I had paid for what I got. I contacted the customer service department and was told not to worry about this, that if the card zeroed out, then the song would be a gift.

Now if I wanted to, I could have gone and bought something else for what's left on the card, but that just isn't me. That money was set aside for a particular song I got, so by my reckoning it was already spent. Unfortunately the payment wasn't processed before the service charge kicked in, but I feel good in that I made an honest attempt to pay and did not pull a fast one.
