    To buy stuff of ebay, Pay for petrol, chocolate, in simple english everything so that i use nearly my credit limit so i can get my limit increased.Its worked for me afew times now..they are well worth it if you use them properly.I have never incurred interest as i always pay monthly.

    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: 28,787 ✭✭✭✭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 :(;)

    Dont get taken in by their ads!

    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.
