Re: How Many Credit Cards Do YOU have?

If Ms Cleo was still doing her predictions she could tell us for sure!  I'm betting it's gonna happen sooner than later... IIRC, the CSP sort of sneaked in quietly then came the Barclays Arrival... That scent of plastic in the air is so strong Lexie I can smell it too!   LOL  Robot LOL

In that thread, I said:

 

For those more ADD/anal/without-a-life etc, you can also check (as often as you "need") if another card  (now) offers better benefits, so"I have card X that gives 2.1% on groceries, but this new card, with an AF $10 higher, offers 2.15%.  Should I get that instead?"   Hopefully, relatively content people like the OP can resist these temptations!

 


I guess the last sentence was too trustign.

LOL.  Oh, believe me I read that and thought this just gave him more ammunition.  I believe (more or less) your statement became an admission ticket to his next CC adventure - hence his recent post. Smiley Wink

Total 9 now. I can't believe it that I just simply can't stop applying! Smiley LOL


So what you're saying is that the previous post you made never really applied...?  So,you're really not "set".  I smell Barclays Sallie Mae on the horizon... sniff sniff...
