if you're actually rich you use cards that aren't commercially available to poors and wagies. you are paying $700 a year for the right to impress some dumb cashier wagie, for most of you thats somewhere between .5% and 1.5% of your annual income. what a joke

You cannot get an American Express Platinum card companion ticket, as this offer is not available anymore.

If you cant afford to buy it with cash then you obviously cannot afford it sirs. Credit is a carrot on the end of a stick, so you can keep up with the neighbors while falling behind. The doctor I dated a year ago, made 230k a year. She never needed credit cards, why would you? You cannot live off of 15k net/ monthly? All you need is a good debit card from a interest accruing checking and savings account. Everything else is just a symbolic gesture that you cannot afford what it is that you want, meaning you dont need it anyways. You probably like to refinance your house every few years too, for extra spending money because your job doesnt pay what it should or you have obsessive spending habits due to your mk'd mind and life trauma of the real world. Sorry but you will wage until death doing any of these things, ive seen it among even family that is very well off because they needed to be in their 'ego.'

No sir, just sick of people accepting their slavery and upgrading to bigger chains. Knowledge is power, and will truly set you free. When so many of society are slaves to the system that keeps enslaving them, then it makes it harder for those who are not slaves to not get sucked into slavery. So it effects both on a macro and micro level. So yes, it is good to spread knowledge about these scams so that they do not take further hold. Once these scam usary companies and governments go under then, we can go forward into the proper way, and cut out the middle man who is a leech. Like all things in live, to cut out the middle man is just good for finance and business. All the best.

I make over 210k per year and can barely maintain a middle class lifestyle. That 210k becomes about 120k after all of the taxes/benefits/401k/etc come out of the paycheck.

So I am left with an actual 10k a month that reaches my bank account. Here are my bills:

Mortgage: $4500
Student loans: $1500
Food: $800
Electricity:$600
Car loan: $380
Gas: $200
Cell phones:$100/month
Internet: $120/month

So at the end of the month I only have about $1500 free to spend on stuff.

200k really isn't that much anymore :(

Sam Hyde had a pretty good podcast about how to cheat the credit card system. Basically, you just sign up for the bonuses then cancel the cards. Currently, the highest card bonus is 120,000 miles for the amex delta platinum. This is worth about $1200 in cash or $2500 in airline credits. Anyway, the link is:

I can only assume that anon is referring to the time value of money. As in if you pay it back now instead of in 12 months you miss out on the possible returns you could have gotten on it. Like take a look at 6 month t-bills which will give you 3-4%.

>If you cant afford to buy it with cash then you obviously cannot afford it
Who says you can't afford it with cash? In fact, the only people who should use a credit card / the only time you should use one is when you already have the money. In which case you get all the benefits they use to lure and debt-trap people who are shit with money, with none of the down sides. That and better credit and interest rates so you end up paying a lot less for other shit too. The only people who act the way you're talking are poor and always will be.
