Credit Card @ Pawn Shop?

snowkitty · ‎03-07-2013

I go to a local pawn shop every couple of months and buy cheap dvd's and I have always paid using my debit card. How risky would it be if I used a credit card there? I know not to use Amex....lol I use my boa card almost everyday like a debit card and pay it off weekly. I was thinking of using that one but would that throw up a sign? Should I just pay cash there? I want the points but I don't want any trouble either.

Lol I use my Amex BCE at clubs/bars alllll the time haha.

I dont think it will be much of an issue. Lol. Pawn shops aren't all that bad for purchasing stuff. If amex or someone found out you were pawning your own items it might be an issue.

I mean, i spent 2 grand at applebees on alcohol once, no AA, but it was cap1.

Talk about credit card mistakes.

Lolololll!! That is a TON of alcohol at Applebee's!!!!!!!!!!

jsucool76 · ‎03-07-2013

Especially since all their drinks are 2 for 1. I did leave with an applebees hat and tshirt though... They loved me there. Used to go like 7 days a week. XD
