Sat 19:29:02 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But I said nothing forces you to pay it off before the promo expires, so either way it's more expensive than the first office, and if you don't pay it off in 21 months, "It's a trap! Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational credit card!"

Sat 22:42:07 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i guess they decided those landfills aren't going to fill themselves up
Sat 22:43:40 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ They are moving from the SSE2 requirement to AVX2 because the patents of SSE2 have expired
Sat 22:44:33 │ 〖Sompi〗 │ This has nothing to do with efficiency, and the earlier SSE2 requirement had neither

Sun 00:00:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, My Medicare Part D plan got a lot shittier this year.
Sun 00:00:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ About the only thing that got better is if you pay $2000 for prescriptions out of pocket, they'll quit fucking you so hard.
Sun 00:01:04 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So I paid $88 for the year for a GoodRX Gold prescription card, that's not even insurance.
Sun 00:01:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I asked the pharmacist to compare a prescription for Augmentin the doctor gave me, and it was $29.88 through Part D, and $9.08 through GoodRX Gold.
Sun 00:01:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It would have been $12.88 with regular GoodRX>
Sun 00:02:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So the idea is you pay the $88 a year for Gold and it lowers the drug prices enough that if you're like me and you fill a lot of prescriptions, you'll save more than the $88 the Gold card cost that year.
Sun 00:03:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I have 11 prescriptions that need filled four times a year. Plus whatever one off prescriptions I get.
Sun 00:03:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So all I really need to save is at least $2 vs the standard GoodRX coupon each fill, and it's usually $3-8.

Sun 00:30:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So he did. But every new vehicle loan has to give you a certain number of days to request a payoff amount interest-free, just like you had bought the car in cash.
Sun 00:31:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So he took the check from Navy Federal over to BofA and did that.
Sun 00:31:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then he got a call from the salesman complaining that the salesman didn't get his commission from Bank of America.

Sun 04:27:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They're not even the same company.
Sun 04:27:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so she works to pay lenders
Sun 04:27:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] that would suck
Sun 04:27:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Allegedly, Credit One is coming out with some "normal" credit cards.
Sun 04:27:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But they've been the scum of the scum so far.
Sun 04:27:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But now they're targeting people with high credit scores when before they wanted people who don't pay their bills.
Sun 04:28:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The new product is called Credit One Omni American Express Rewards.
Sun 04:28:21 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It pays 2% cash back, has a $200 sign up bonus, and a normal (credit card normal) interest rate, and no annual fee.
Sun 04:28:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It also has a minimum $10,000 spending limit.
Sun 04:28:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But it's invite-only.
Sun 04:28:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They target people who use Credit Karma and Experian Card Match.

Sun 04:38:03 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ No matter what you do they're designed to suck you dry even if you don't spend anything.
Sun 04:38:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] what's the alternative?

Sun 04:39:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Well, some credit cards, at best, are worth their account opening fee and some minor ongoing rewards and perks.
Sun 04:39:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But let's face it, those exist to get you "hooked".
Sun 04:39:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They know most people are really bad at staying on top.
Sun 04:39:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So the first time you start paying interest, they make money anyway and none of the minor benefits are even important at that point.

Sun 05:17:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I looked at UK credit cards.
Sun 05:17:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They're like 40% interest, no welcome bonus, 0.25-0.5% rewards.
Sun 05:17:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Not worth it really.
Sun 05:18:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's way more downside.
Sun 05:18:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Here you can usually do 3-5% on category spend and 1.5-2% on non-category spend.
Sun 05:19:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Typical welcome bonus is $200-$1000 depennding on the card type and what the spend requirement is to get it.
Sun 05:19:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So if you can hit that spend in the time they give you, it's basically free money.
Sun 05:19:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You can just keep it.
Sun 05:19:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I've probably made about $5,000 just in credit card welcome bonuses since 2012.
Sun 05:20:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And I started having Mandy do it too so he's probably made at least $3,000 or so.

Sun 05:21:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Different cards do different things. But the ones with high category cashback tend to have a 1% catch all rate.
Sun 05:22:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The bank hopes that you do all your spending on the card and just take the 1% rate on everything else.
Sun 05:22:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But I keep a 2% card around for all that stuff.
Sun 05:22:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's why Ben Stein says he has so many.
Sun 05:23:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Every card is almost like a niche product, 5% on travel, 6% on Amazon, 5% at Walmart, 3% on gas stations, 6% at supermarkets, 5% at pet supply stores.
Sun 05:23:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So you'll end up with at least 6 credit cards trying to optimize cashback.

Sun 05:26:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then you keep them all open because of FICO utilization.
Sun 05:26:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you close a card you lose that much available credit, so the cards that post with a balance at the end of the month hurt your FICO score more, at least temporarily.
Sun 05:27:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ FICO scores per card utilization and utilization overall.
Sun 05:27:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So if you have $80,000 of available credit across all cards, and one of them has $20,000, and your statement cuts with $2,000 on that one, and none of your other cards show up with anything, your utilization on that card is 10%, and overall is only 2.5%.
Sun 05:28:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But if you only have one card and it has a $5,000 limit and your statement cuts with a $2,000 balance due to the bank, your overall and per card is at 40%.
Sun 05:29:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And your FICO score goes down.
Sun 05:29:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So FICO punishes people with low limits because it's hard to close a cycle with low utilization.
Sun 05:29:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I have an old Amazon store card with $4500 available credit.
Sun 05:30:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I keep it frozen and it just sits there unused but the $4500 available credit makes it harder for my credit report to show much utiiization.
Sun 05:30:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It basically tricks out the credit scoring system by limiting FICO score fluctuation.
Sun 05:31:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It doesn't directly raise my FICO score, it eliminates volatility and makes it go about as high as it's going to go.
Sun 05:31:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ FICO registers high utilization as "distress" and punishes you by tanking your score, at least until the utilization goes down.

Sun 06:32:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], So having a higher FICO score means you save money, even when you're not going into debt.
Sun 06:33:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Things like car insurance get much less expensive.
Sun 06:33:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Better apartments become available.
Sun 06:33:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Having bed credit means you can't get a good apartment.
Sun 06:33:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's almost like being on the sex offender list these days.
Sun 06:34:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's a lot of good reasons to have credit cards that don't involve debt or irresponsible spending.
Sun 06:34:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They're a free way to build a good FICO score, you get welcome bonuses and rebates.
Sun 06:34:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But you must never pay interest or none of that is worth it.
Sun 06:35:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean, just the gas rebate alone, I think, saves me at least $12 a month.

Sun 06:43:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ She got a car loan at 25% interest even when things were relatively low interest overall.
Sun 06:43:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They gave me a 0% car loan while she was paying 25%.
Sun 06:44:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ When you deal with a 25% car loan, a $13,000 used car will end up costing you more than a $27,000 new car at 0%.
Sun 06:44:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But she has to ask these people for a 25% loan because she destroys her credit perpetually, and she never saved any money.
