Lol that’s word for word what went through my head — the pyramid scheme card. 

 

Thanks but no thanks. I don’t think my friends have good enough credit to do it anyway. 😅


And, neither I nor my friends have $100K, $50K or even a measly Smiley Very Happy $25K for a monthly spend. Smiley Very Happy

I just looked into it more. 3% carbon requires 4 referrals or an annual spend of $100k, the 2% magnesium requires $50k annual spend. But you get metal cards, so there's that. 👍


And the 1.5% cashback is 1 friend or $25K annual spend. Plus, you have to have their Zero checking so payments can be deducted. 

 

Now why cant I come up with these money-making schemes 😩


If you can secure $30MM in funding, you can start your own credit card.

Re: Zerocard

In my mind I find it interesting the amount of money the CEO could raise with his outstanding background in finances and debit/credit card operations. Think I will contact him to learn secrets on playing "Words With Friends"! Oh, the point on a Pyramid Scheme is of note ... don't remember a good one of late? Smiley Frustrated

Re: Zerocard

Between the loss of the one month grace period if you are playing hard with credit, and the pyramid scheme nature of it unless you are spending heavy (not sure I could possibly withhold enough taxes to get to 100k a year; that is a lot for even a 1% income) I really can’t see this being favorable for people who are already credit savvy that don’t want to start begging their friends to build a pyramid.

I think the market will wait and see, maybe if this gains traction some of the stupid fee structures we’ve all seen in traditional banks and credit unions might change: that would be a consumer win across the board but we will see if that occurs.
