Re: So? said by wierdo:said by nixen:Then again, you probably think that credit cards are free money, too. The $400 worth of gift cards and stuff I've received so far this month from my credit card companies indicates that there is indeed free money in credit cards if you're doing it right.  Ok... And the transaction fees that Visa/MC/AmEx/etc. charge to the people you buy things from: do you think the sellers just eat that or do you think they raise their overall prices to account for the cost of accepting credit cards? That $400 would go much further if they didn't pass expenses on.

Nothing in this life is free except sunshine and anyone who thinks otherwise is living in fantasy land.
Cell phones are NEVER free; you're just going on a payment plan. The person who just looks at the price of the device and not the cost of the contract is just like the person who falls for the car dealer scam of just talking about the payments and not the total price. |
