| IsambardPrince | Apple customers in the U.S. will soon be able to lease an iPhone for up to two years at a price starting at $17.99 per month, the company announced on Tuesday. | Jul 29 04:09 |
| IsambardPrince | The program, called Upgrade, is a partnership with Klarna, a provider of buy now, pay later loans, that will be offered at Appleβs physical retail stores as well as its online store. After passing a soft credit check, customers will be offered a one- or two-year lease on an iPhone. There will be a similar option for an Apple Watch, or a two- or three-year lease available for Macs and iPads. | Jul 29 04:09 |

| IsambardPrince | Bob Hope said that a bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it. When you're broke and need money to survive, most of the doors start slamming shut because that's high risk. | Jul 29 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Jul 29 04:38 | |
| IsambardPrince | When you can show you have a fat savings account, high income, and no debt, banks will aggressively fight each other to put premium credit cards in your wallet and all sorts of other loans. | Jul 29 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | But there's a catch. | Jul 29 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | If you're financially solid, they'll all fight each other to fill your wallet with cards. | Jul 29 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Lend you the money. | Jul 29 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Then later your financial situation may crumble leaving you with nothing to pay back the cards. | Jul 29 04:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | i see | Jul 29 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | my bad | Jul 29 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so the card is in turn a vessel | Jul 29 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for other lenders? | Jul 29 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but stilkl | Jul 29 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i'd insist | Jul 29 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Yeah, Visa used to be part of Bank of America. | Jul 29 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | visa relies on money that does not exist | Jul 29 05:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | people buying things with money they do not have | Jul 29 05:10 |
| IsambardPrince | It got spun off, it was called BankAmericard. | Jul 29 05:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | when that stops, processing and commissions slow down | Jul 29 05:10 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Capital One cut Visa down a lot. | Jul 29 05:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Desperado pays lawyers with money he does not have | Jul 29 05:10 |
| IsambardPrince | There's still some legacy Quicksilver and Savor accounts on Visa. | Jul 29 05:10 |
| IsambardPrince | But Capital One transitioned most to MasterCard, and now they own Discover. | Jul 29 05:11 |
| techrights-news | "and that same HR turns a blind to blatant harassment claims or other really egregious violations. Even when there is indisputable evidence, all of a sudden their systems and protocols seem to stop working." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kyczappy | Jul 29 05:11 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 403 @ https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kyczappy ) | Jul 29 05:11 | |
| IsambardPrince | A Capital One rep told me the other day that they're transitioning Savor and Quicksilver to Discover in phases. | Jul 29 05:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Most foreign businesses don't know it but they can take Discover. | Jul 29 05:11 |
| IsambardPrince | They have to run it as Diner's Club. | Jul 29 05:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Discover "Global" Network is only big in North America and Japan. | Jul 29 05:12 |
| IsambardPrince | They have agreements with other processing networks there. | Jul 29 05:12 |
| IsambardPrince | There's almost nowhere you can use your Discover card in the UK unless they can run it as a Diner's Club, but most of them don't know you can do this apparently. | Jul 29 05:12 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Capital One is trying to move up in the world. | Jul 29 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Savor X is their competitor to the AmEx Platinum card. | Jul 29 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | And they're trying to become their own network, which is what Discover was for. | Jul 29 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Which gives them access to network level data without paying for it. | Jul 29 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | And they keep the network fees when you slide the card. But so far only their debit cards are Discover/DC/Pulse. | Jul 29 05:14 |
| IsambardPrince | And a few Quicksilver accounts they converted early. | Jul 29 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "accounts" | Jul 29 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like bitcoin? | Jul 29 05:14 |
| IsambardPrince | They want to do it in batches and essentially pressure foreign merchants to take Discover. | Jul 29 05:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | some online thingies? | Jul 29 05:14 |
| IsambardPrince | "There's a lot of Americans with Capital One cards. | Jul 29 05:14 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Quicksilver, Savor, and Venture are just rewards programs. | Jul 29 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | The account is some numbers and an interest rate and credit limit. | Jul 29 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | You can pretty much freely switch between rewards programs any time. | Jul 29 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | If you don't travel, the Venture cards are basically useless. | Jul 29 05:15 |
| IsambardPrince | So for most people Savor and Quicksilver are the logical Capital One cards to have. | Jul 29 05:16 |
| IsambardPrince | That's 3% on restaurants, entertainment, and groceries with Savor and 1.5% on everything else with Quicksilver. | Jul 29 05:16 |
| IsambardPrince | It's obviously working well for them, they're huge. | Jul 29 05:16 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: If you pay in full, don't spend money you don't have, and the card doesn't get you to spend too much, they might be a minor asset. | Jul 29 05:20 |
| IsambardPrince | A bit of cashback. | Jul 29 05:20 |
| IsambardPrince | But that cashback is funded mostly by people who can't pay their bills and got sucked into a series of minimum payments that make no progress to payoff. | Jul 29 05:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So it's being funded by people who shop too much and go on vacations they can't pay for, or people whose alternator exploded and they had to turn to the credit card to get the car working again. | Jul 29 05:22 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I rarely use the Savor anymore, but it does happen. | Jul 29 05:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I have a Savor and an Amex Blue Cash Everyday and a Blue Cash Preferred. | Jul 29 05:23 |
| IsambardPrince | That ensures that I get 3% on groceries somehow for sure and 6% at MCC coded grocery stores. | Jul 29 05:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I might drop down to Savor and BCE after the first year with BCP though. | Jul 29 05:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I no longer need enough groceries on cash to justify the BCP because I have food stamps. | Jul 29 05:24 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Techrights β IBM is Trying to Turn Debt (Borrowed Money) Into Fake Growth and It'll Worsen Matters | Jul 29 05:24 | |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Visa and MasterCard make pure profit pretty much. | Jul 29 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | They take the network fees, sell your spending pattern data to advertisers, like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook (and others), and they take no credit risk. | Jul 29 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | They work with banks to issue most of the cards on the "highest levels" of Visa and MC to inflate merchant fees. | Jul 29 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Which causes prices to soar even for people who pay cash. | Jul 29 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Then banks like Chase, Wells Fargo, Capital One, Citi, and hundreds of them, they are typically not their own network. | Jul 29 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Only AmEx and Discover (now Capital One) are the bank and the network. | Jul 29 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | The bank/network setup is highly profitable. | Jul 29 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | That's why American Express doesn't like people who revolve debt. | Jul 29 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not their model. | Jul 29 05:44 |
| IsambardPrince | They will loan you money on a revolving credit card, at credit card interest rates, but they prefer not to do it more than occasionally. | Jul 29 05:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Their model is very high credit score, very high income, slides the card a lot (network fees) and pays it off. | Jul 29 05:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Only about 26% of their income is interest. | Jul 29 05:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Over 80% of Capital One's income is interest. | Jul 29 05:45 |
| IsambardPrince | They want you in debt. | Jul 29 05:45 |
| IsambardPrince | On the surface they're both credit card banks. They both have similar rewards structures, similar interest rates, but they have different ideas of what an ideal customer looks like. | Jul 29 05:46 |
| IsambardPrince | An Apple device locked to proprietary software is one of those "You spent $1400 on it now. Three years later it's not really worth much of anything. Three years after that it's a brick." propositions. I don't like those. | Jul 29 05:59 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Our economy works because........ | Jul 29 06:08 |
| IsambardPrince | People have not figured out that going to a bank is the wrong place to get money. | Jul 29 06:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Filing bankruptcy every 8 years is not a plan. | Jul 29 06:08 |
| IsambardPrince | Budgeting, thrift, and just overall sanity is no longer a thing. | Jul 29 06:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Bankruptcy exists largely because they have to let some people get away from them. | Jul 29 06:09 |
| IsambardPrince | If there was no way to get away from them, people would learn to watch themselves so there'd be no debt in the first place. | Jul 29 06:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Then the banks wouldn't be able to lend. | Jul 29 06:10 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I went to buy a bed. Checked several stores. | Jul 29 06:43 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I'm not really picky about a kitchen table. | Jul 29 07:21 |
| IsambardPrince | It's something you occasionally eat food on. | Jul 29 07:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Spending money on the right mattress is at least defensible. | Jul 29 07:22 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I have not had to go to the chiropractor once since I bought that thing. | Jul 29 07:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Mandy had forced me out onto my recliner in the living room. | Jul 29 07:22 |
| IsambardPrince | For the last year it was like I was some sort of intruder living in his house, not his spouse. | Jul 29 07:23 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Grandma had another stroke recently. | Jul 29 07:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Mom says Grandma forgot how to be mean. | Jul 29 07:24 |
| IsambardPrince | I told her Grandma had Histrionic Personality Disorder. | Jul 29 07:24 |
| IsambardPrince | And a bad case of it too. Probably the worst I've ever seen. | Jul 29 07:24 |
| IsambardPrince | I wrote one of Mandy's college papers for him. | Jul 29 07:28 |
| IsambardPrince | I had never been to college. I didn't get to go anywhere. I wasn't able to finish high school. I got a GED. | Jul 29 07:28 |
| IsambardPrince | His professor gave it a very high score and circled something that I wrote and said "Very nice. How did you come up with that?" | Jul 29 07:29 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't know how he didn't just come out and say "How does a failing student suddenly get a perfect score on one assignment?" | Jul 29 07:29 |
| IsambardPrince | I ended up writing it for him because he had no understanding of the book they gave him to write about and he didn't want to understand it. He wouldn't have been capable of reading at that level even if he tried. | Jul 29 07:30 |
| IsambardPrince | He's not management material where he works. | Jul 29 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I took their management assessment myself and passed it recently. | Jul 29 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | He can be instructed to do simple tasks, he can show up, so they'll let him stay at about the level he's at now, forever. | Jul 29 07:32 |
| IsambardPrince | If you really ride him, he's good at rote memorization. | Jul 29 07:32 |
| IsambardPrince | He has no understanding of what he memorizes, but he can eventually repeat it all back to you. | Jul 29 07:32 |
| IsambardPrince | There's not much of a mind there. | Jul 29 07:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | wth is THAT? | Jul 29 19:21 |
| IsambardPrince | It did not come with the Xorg session, so I put it back in and switched over. | Jul 29 19:21 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I explained it in length already. | Jul 29 19:21 |
| IsambardPrince | It's basically a way to get an expensive iPhone into the hands of someone who has absolutely no money, and horrible credit. | Jul 29 19:22 |
| IsambardPrince | That's the one sentence explanation. | Jul 29 19:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Apple's biggest problem is they rapaciously raise prices and there are many people who covet an iPhone but have no money and no real bank will give them a loan because their credit is shot. | Jul 29 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | So they went to an outfit that is so predatory that they don't even care what your credit is or if you even have any money. | Jul 29 19:23 |
| IsambardPrince | And they rent you the phone. | Jul 29 19:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "look ma, i have the aye phone" | Jul 29 19:24 |

| IsambardPrince | When people confront the whole price of something like the iPhone and they realize "I would have to save money forever to buy this and it's competing with all my other important bills." there's no way to sell them the iPhone.

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Yeah, the whole reason cars depreciate is because the remaining value has to account for things like the repair bills it will start producing | Jul 29 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | You don't actually save any money buying a very old car. | Jul 29 19:32 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Resy is apparently on Android now. | Jul 29 20:57 |
| IsambardPrince | That must be very new. | Jul 29 20:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | what is it? | Jul 29 20:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Three months ago before I canceled the Gold Card it wasn't. | Jul 29 20:57 |
| IsambardPrince | The AmEx cards have a quarterly or semi-annual Resy credit. | Jul 29 20:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Restaurants pay to be on the Resy reservation app. | Jul 29 20:58 |
| IsambardPrince | You do not have to use that app to get the Resy credits, you just pay with the card at a restaurant listed on Resy. | Jul 29 20:58 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: AmEx premium cards are basically a coupon book. | Jul 29 20:59 |
| IsambardPrince | The Gold Card has a semi-annual $50 Resy credit, so $100 total, and the Platinum Card has quarterly $100 credits totaling $400. | Jul 29 20:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So that comes right back as a statement credit. | Jul 29 20:59 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | what does "Dave" say? | Jul 29 21:00 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Some of the restaurants are quite good. | Jul 29 21:00 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Well, Dave sez no credit card. | Jul 29 21:00 |
| IsambardPrince | But AmEx actually lost over $1,000 cash money to me on that card. | Jul 29 21:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Plus I used all the credits that year. | Jul 29 21:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Then canceled. | Jul 29 21:00 |
| IsambardPrince | That's not what they expect the average person to do. | Jul 29 21:00 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: They have clawback language in the welcome offer. | Jul 29 21:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not the dave that eats frosting? | Jul 29 21:01 |
| IsambardPrince | It says if you cancel before the second annual fee, they take the welcome offer back. | Jul 29 21:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | iirc, he lost his home | Jul 29 21:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | after your mom invested in it | Jul 29 21:01 |
| IsambardPrince | But you can cancel within 30 days of the annual fee and they reverse the entire annual fee. | Jul 29 21:02 |
| IsambardPrince | So there's a 30 day window where they will reverse the fee and you keep the welcome offer. | Jul 29 21:02 |
| IsambardPrince | $1,000 was worth it. | Jul 29 21:02 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a very narrow window. Let the second annual fee post then immediately cancel it once it's no longer pending, then it comes back as -$325 membership fee reversal. | Jul 29 21:03 |
| IsambardPrince | They DO NOT LIKE seeing people flee this card. | Jul 29 21:03 |
| IsambardPrince | They will IMMEDIATELY send you to the retention department and they might try to bargain with you to get you to keep it. | Jul 29 21:04 |
| admfubar | https://xkcd.com/3278/ | Jul 29 21:04 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-xkcd: Vera Rubin Observatory | Jul 29 21:04 | |
| IsambardPrince | It's only worth keeping if they offer something that exceeds $325 in actual value. | Jul 29 21:04 |
| IsambardPrince | The average person gets starstruck by the "exclusivity" of a retention offer. They accept a 15,000-point bone that is only worth $150, completely blind to the fact that they are still running a $175 net deficit on the annual fee. | Jul 29 21:05 |
| IsambardPrince | The longer that card is active past the first complete year, the more of a liability it becomes. Their goal is that it leaks so much of your money that they get the $1,000 bonus back and it turns profitable by the third year. | Jul 29 21:06 |

| IsambardPrince | The Apple "Upgrade" Program from Klarna is the obvious way they get iPhones into the hands of peasants who don't have $1,000 cash money now that Goldman tossed their flaming bag of dog crap onto Chase for a substantial discount. | Jul 29 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Jul 29 23:16 | |
| IsambardPrince | Chase isn't going to want to deal with peasants who obviously can't pay. | Jul 29 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Jul 29 23:16 | |
| IsambardPrince | As far as the no CLIs, Chase probably wants them to stabilize the portfolio as much as possible during the hand off. Why would you want a portfolio that has a lot of people you're going to cancel cards on to be getting CLIs under another issuers model that failed them completely? | Jul 29 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Chase is one of those banks that likes to lend money to people who don't need it. Like, they have outstanding credit card balances that they could pay off, but in their mind they have lots of imaginary money in a checking account while they're letting credit card balances go haywire. | Jul 29 23:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Jul 29 23:20 | |
| IsambardPrince | We already see this dynamic at play with the Chase Amazon Visa. Amazon had to get a subprime bank, Synchrony, involved, to scoop up people Chase doesn't want. This is exactly what's going on with "Apple Upgrade by Klarna." | Jul 29 23:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Oddly, there's many people out there who are high income and can't do the math that shows that 3% on a savings account or 0% on a checking account is never going to beat 26% on a credit card. | Jul 29 23:21 |
