    Nope, I have a rule that I never take out my credit card when out for a drink. I can only see that getting bad. Now, I don't mind using it going for a meal or what have you but drinks..... :eek:

    I'd probably end up in another country. :o

    I heard he gives it to you for free.

    I use my card for divvying up lines of cocaine (which ironically I buy with cash).

    eBay, other online purchases, buying flights, and that's about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Id don't have one, it's bad enough AIBastards forced me into owning a debit card (which actually came in handy on several occasions). Credit cards are the tool of Satan and I'll never own one, except maybe a Halifax one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,324 ✭✭✭✭Cathmandooo


    I put all shopping onto it, easier to keep track of what I spend..I use cash for alcohol - not so easy to keep track of :(;)

    I buy everything on the credit card, only really use cash for buying pints and sambos at lunch time.

    Scraping ice off the car windscreen and as a spacer for timber framing!

    I use my credit card for breaking into people's house and then, funnily enough, stealing their cash.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,057 ✭✭✭Wacker


    I sensibly set the minimum amount due on my card to 100% every two months. I am therefor unable to build up credit card debt. This has probably saved me a fortune.

    I use the card for concert tickets and all sorts of online purchases. All sorts. Yes, I am talking about what you think I'm talking about.

    I'm sensible too, pay 100% of it every month, totally disagree with paying interest to the banks, thieving gypsies!!!

    eBay, I only have a $500 limit on the card though and I have disabled the automatic limit increase thingy when I got the card at first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    Everything but mainly tickets. Its maxed to the limit at the moment so its no good to me. :(

    I mainly use the flicky-flacky for online stuff, and for most things when I'm away for a weekend. Then off I trot to 24 hour banking, and pay the whole lot off. I thought I could never have a credit card, that I'd be in serious debt all the time, but I've had it for 18 months now with no interest.

    This was a trick Question: you shouldnt have credit cards. they're evil.

    Well, probably more evil in the USA - they fling those pre-approved bastards through your mailbox faster than you can max them out. and they wonder how to fix the american poverty line..

    The answer is to just max out all your cards and then paddle your canoe to Panama!

    There was an interesting use for cards brought up in The Ladies Lounge on a thread about 'Brazilians' as far as I remember. However I'm about to run off to my Christmas Party so ye'll have to look for it yeerselves :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 72,192 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Everything, pretty much. Current card is 6 months old and already worn and unreadable (I've had to remember the CCV2 number, can't be read). Paid in full every month except one since I've had one and I cleared about 80% of the balance that month, so never paid the bank more than a few euros interest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,658 ✭✭✭old boy


    for as little as possible, they like to raise the limit yearly, trying to tempt me, but to no advail, at the moment i am in the black,

    Why wouldnt you want the limit increased.$500 is really nothing.I thought you purchase alot on the net?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    I don't want anyone increasing the limit without my knowledge thank you very much. :) I do spend a lot but normally funds are just drawn from the bank account through Paypal when I need something otherwise onto the plastic they go.

    eBay, play.com, flights and occasionally Tesco's! It's a handy wee thing once you don't go crazy.
