What is your single LARGEST purchased on your CC?

I purchased a New Rolex Sub Ceramic $7400 last month on my Chase Freedom 7.9%.

Suprisingly the transaction went through, haha.

I paid off $4K immediately 2 days later and planned on paying off the remaining balance next statement.

Chase PerfectCard (Now Freedom 29.24%). $6900 for a used truck.

ETA: Before anyone says I have to be a fool to finance a vehicle ay 29+%... I timed the purchase one day after the statement posted. Purchase posted the following statement date. Due date was 20+ days later. PIF right before the due date. Interest free loan for about 2 months.

We put an $11,000+ furnace on a card for the rewards once. I think the dealer was a bit nervous. The furnace had already been installed. They called to make sure we were happy with it. We paid it off in full before it was due, but it was a nice way to kick that amount down the road for about 30 days.

8k for my friends bachelor party in vegas. Be careful of adult entertainment, credit cards, and booze. The combination is quite dangerous.

Oh, I see. This is the 'brag about how much expendable income' you have thread.

Probably a vacation, if that counts as a single purchase. I don't own any Rolexes.

Sorry to get off topic. Seeing a post by LynetteM caught me off guard!! You have been away for a long time. Is the nursing career keeping you extra busy?

Two years ago, when my son was 16, I purchased him a used car on my Discover card for $17,000. The dealer did not want me to pay by CC but relented when I was prepared to walk if they did not allow me to pay by CC. Interestingly, they did break up the charge into two charges of $8500 each. Not sure why.

Once posted to my account I paid Discover in full.
