Dad actually got me a credit card today just so I can establish a credit score. I am kind of angry about this actually. I much prefer using debit. I'm just going to use it like a debit card, I'm not stupid enough to try to buy something I can't afford when I have no income.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

He's angry at the way credit scores work, not at our dad. Obviously.Comment

I still don't see the big deal.
I put absolutely everything on the CC. I pay it off every month. No fees, no interest, but thousands of dollars in rewards..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I have no use for a credit card here. Even a debit card is of dubious value since the only ATMs are right next to the bank and can't give out enough cash anyways. My credit is good everywhere in town though!
I do have a penny balance on my Paypal :/Comment

I have two credit cards and they both automatically take the money out of my checking account each month. They are just debit cards with rewards (well one of them) and hopefully it helps my credit score.Originally posted by Kuciwalker View PostCaptain of Team Apolyton - ISDG 2012

The specifics vary, but some cards reward you for using the card or reward you for using the card in specific ways. For example, maybe they give you 1% of all purchases as cash but bump it up to 5% if you use it at certain partnered retailers; or you get (the traditional) airline miles every time you make a purchase, etc.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
