And if so which is better?
I'm hoping for a 300-post thread here. Don't let me
down.
When I bought my Key West, the dealer and I agreed on the
price. Then he asked how I wanted to finance it, offering
me a choice of three banks/loan organizations he worked
with. I told him I wanted to put it on my VISA. He gave me
a funny look, like, "Are you bull****ting me?" Then he
said he had to make a phone call. He came back and said I
could put only $10,000 on VISA at one time - rules of his
accounting firm (?). OK, so I said I'd put up $10,000 as a
down payment, and then pay off the boat when it came in. He
said that would work. Then, when the boat came in, I put
another $10,000 on my VISA. Because of the rewards program,
I got 3% of the $20,000 back. The dealer wasn't thrilled. I
pulled a similar deal when I bought my 5th wheel trailer.
The credit, for the month or so of each charge, was free!
Yeah, sure, credit is free. Dumbass, you still don't get it
and never will, apparently.
It wasn't free to my bank! They paid me good bucks for using
the credit they extended!
You bank will just find a way to 1000 other people with
exhorbitant fees for overdrawn checks or teller visits or debit
card purchases. No matter, you got what you wanted, screw
everyone else.
Bleeding heart liberal?
Would you be happier if I sent my bank a couple hundred dollars
each month just to hold down the costs for folks like you and
Kevin?
You're a joke.
Still thinking about the Sig Sauer P226. This one, with a
conversion kit:

Good idea, huh?
Let's see, you are completely against any idea of wealth
redistribution, but if your credit card fees are redistributed to
everyone who buys goods at a particular store that you use your
credit card in, that's okay, right?
Not quite. The enire fee is paid by he merchant to the CC bank when the
CC transaction occurs. The injustice occurs when he CC bank forces the
merchant to price fix and penalize the cash buyer.
If you think it goes down any other way, I invite you to prove it or
clam up about this whole thing.
My God, you are John are as dumb as posts if you can't figure out that
the expense incurred by the merchant is passed down to you, the
consumer.
Not only did I figure it out, I told you why it happens. Take a
cognition pill, won't you?
