A credit card is handy, especially if you have pets that need a vet when you least expect it. I try to keep mine up to date but admit having to pay interest now and then.

I only use one Sam and that is because for what it is worth supposed to be able to remedy any error. I do use Pay Pal as well, but that is safe I hope.

Seems crazy to me I mean if you use it and pay off what is owing within the month they can't make money anyway and why it affects your ability to get a dozen other cards is beyond me. banks and lending places seem to have completely lost sight of how to look after a client.

Thanks for bringing this to light. People from a similar situation can benefit from the heads up. Right now, I have three credit cards, a Visa, a Mastercard and a Shell gasoline one. I could get by with one less.

I only have one credit card and I use it for everything and pay it off every month.  I don't understand how they make money off of me if I never pay interest.  But it works for me.  I have had it since 1987 and they always take care of any problem that I have had with it.

Rrhhh! Yes, had the credit limit lowered on one for non-activity!!! Right, and if the interest wasn't so high in the first place, I might have used the thing! Thanks for the reminder. They play dirty pool. Sorry that happened to you. Bet it won't ever happen again.
