Someone posted their approval with AMEX Centurion with the score of 680s (all across three CBs) on whogavemecredit,  but wow...you can get approved with those scores?  I would def. love to have one myself, but initiation fee of $7.5k + annual fee of $2.5k is pretty hefty for me.

I think the approval criteria are much more based on wealth and spending than on credit score.   Worrying about credit scores is for the little people!

---

I have to disagree with that statement    Even the so called High Rollers need a pretty good score to get credit

---

over the years many financial people have talked about how a lot of time the rich and famous have TERRIBLE credit... sometimes by not even there own doing becasue so many of them use money managers that don't pay things on time and what not... I don't think that is a far stretched statement AT ALL.

I mean Toni Braxton did just finalize a supposed $50 MILLION BK 7 to turn around IN THE MONTH and buy ON MORTGAGE a 3.5? Million dollar house!!!

Bethenny Frankel just last week had a credit (financial someone on the show) and she herself said she had NO CLUE what her credit score was!

---

But everyone is not rich and famous !!!!! To me that statement was uncalled for........Just my 2 cents

---

I took it as a joke and funny! (haha)

---

Well me and many more may have not took it that way I could say a lot more but this debate is over

OK, I was relying on some old cultural references which obviously some people are not familiar with and chose to be offended.

Leona Helmsley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leona_Helmsley) on trial for tax evasion, it was alleged:

I said: "You must pay a lot of taxes". She said: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."
          –Elizabeth Baum, former housekeeper to Helmsley (October 1983)

and my comment was a reference to that.

I have a dry and inappropriate sense of humor I get from my mother... I think that is hilarious too!

If I didn't try to laugh at inappropriate things I would probably just kill myself... Our world today is F'd up when you look at our government, our finances, our everything! Got to laugh about something

First of all:  how do you know "many more" may have not taken it that way, maybe almost everyone was like creditaddict and realized it was a joke?  Also, it's not quite right to say something like that and then declare "this debate is over".  But I will forgive your appalling rudeness (See how easy it is!)

But in the long run everyone must pay taxes

Well, obviously not, this is why there is tax evasion, but what is your point?

you either pay taxes or go to jail is my point

[enharu]

Well there are legal ways to avoid most, of not all, of the taxes. Many people and corporations are doing it. It's just not something an average joe can do.

OK (another option is you dont get caught).   But HOW is that relevant to anything that went before?  

Never mind.  Many people tell me that the discussion is over.
