Exactly. I was trying to tell my sister about it and she proceeded to tell me that she "can't afford a credit card." UH, WHAT?? I gave up.

$2k to $6k instantly on Amex that she has never used and been a member since 2008 (I know!!!)
She almost applied for a 2nd amex because of backdate that i was telling her and stuff but she has no use for it or the credit so we called it a day on the CLI
Pier 1 - I saw the card so of course was like wait to you see this with the automated system - She had $1k and finally after about 8 times repeating on the phone it stopped at $6250! she was like what do I do with that!? LOL
Capital One Pre-Qual her the other day and then instant $10k on Venture One

Ill never understand it, from co-workers to family/friends. They are terrified of credit cards and use their debit cards, not realizing the pitfalls of using debit. Credit cards are a excellent tool in getting FREE MONEY on money I would spend anyway (provided you are responsible). If you can align your thinking to use credit cards as debit cards......I digress, I think most people are as savvy as the users on this site, my mistake.
