Re: What Credit Card Do You Use When You're On a Date!?

[ Edited ]

Back when I had better credit it was ALWAYS the American Express card. By far the most easily recognizable card on the market and always regarded as a symbol of wealth regardless of how misguided this stereotype is.

 

Trust me though, guys, you are better off pulling out your First Premier card on a first date. If that's the reason they don't want a second date then you would have had MUCH bigger problems than which credit card to use on a date.

Wallet: JP Morgan Select Visa Signature $9000 | Chase Sapphire Preferred $5000 | Chase Freedom Visa $2000 | Barclaycard Visa $3000 | Discover More $1500 | Capital One Platinum Mastercard $750 | Bank of America Cash Rewards Visa $500 | Walmart Store $950 | Amazon Store $5000 | AMEX Zync (AU) NPSL | Chase Total Checking | RIP: First Premier Mastercard
