Hahaha. Smiley Happy

Actually, now that you mention it, the last gun I bought I did throw on the Amex Gold card. And the one before that went on my Chase Freedom because that gun store didn't take Amex.
Here we go again...

I believe that Chase Freedom has a "Death and Mayhem" bonus points category - 97% destruction - 3% rewards

I guess I'll have to get a Trump card if I want to use it to gamble.

I never go to bars. But when I actually do buy alcohol (which is rarely), I never put it on my CC. I always pay cash. The last thing I want is to have my creditors breathing down my neck like overprotective parents.

The high established strip clubs report as catering and restaruants anyways. I know this because of my occupation sorry...
 
 It allows corporate guests of the club to write off the expenses easier while enteretaining there clients.

Ha! I've been watching Season 4 of the West Wing on DVD, and Charlie and Toby go to jail for getting in a fight. The next morning Toby is on his phone telling someone you can pay bail on a credit card and Charlie is lamenting all the ff miles he's missing out on because he didn't.

The irony is that so many of the photo ads for American Express and the Signature and World cards show a couple framed against the sunset, lifting a glass to one another.

Maybe if your record shows daily charges of $12.99 from Bubba's Booze Shack, that might indicate that you have some Issues going on. But for those who do a lot of entertaining, at home or elsewhere, that's pretty silly if the occasional $100 charge from the liquor store marks them as high-risk.

If that is so, then our cards as well as our in-laws' cards ought to have been canceled after our yearly family reunion on the North Carolina beach! Smiley Very Happy Between grocery store runs and ABC runs, we stimulate the Cape Carteret economy pretty vigorously.

Re: "Your lifestyle may hurt your credit"

I dont know about your credit but if DW sees something on the monthly statement that starts with Best Buy you might actualy be wishing for a CLD.  I had a Best Buy CC that died in DMP.  Lucky for me I dont get statements from them anymore.
 
I thought there was a porn credit card.  Adam and Eve.  Seen that on WhoGaveMeCredit.  Must have an interesting idea for rewards points or a catalogue of gifts you can get.
