I love my credit card because it gives me a free flight every year
I HATE my credit card because i pay it off everyweek and yet never get any where it is like a never ending chain of fees and interest. that is why i hate my credit card
I Hate my credit card because it is a temptation to spend more money which you don't at the beginning,I was sucked because I had money given to and due to the bank seeing that I was offered a credit card but then the money I had was taken away due to the repayment,how fair is that!,it is not
Fees and interest are the only reason to hate credit cards. It's plain and simple.
A credit card gives me the confidence to undertake a project knowing I have the money to follow through, unfortunately it also provides the ability to undertake too many projects. You gotta love your credit card.
It started with you my little visa, you were my one and only. I wasn't content with just you so I got you a sibling, and called him master card. Now I have triplets, three little visas and my little mastercard. The problem is you don't stay small for very long and now you are huge and costing me a fortune to feed, keeping me busy day and night just to afford you. I do love you but I am beginning to quite hate you too. Is this what they call a love/hate relationship?
My Credit Card is wonderful for emergencies, to enable me to pay for things I need and pay them off, when I don't have enough to pay the full amount initially. Sometimes unexpected things pop up.
My credit card my credit card oh how I hate you so, you've been there through good and bad and when I was oh so low, but now your just a burden that eats away my soul, to pay you off and see you gone is now my only goal.
They can be very convenient if you have control of your finances and do not over spend - The trap for not have control of these can get them into a lot of trouble. Having been in that same position - and wanting the things now and not be prepared to wait. My advise to people would be use the old fashion act of lay-by or just buy one thing at a time and then at the end of the month - pay it off and pay no interest. That would be the only way to do it.
I love my credit card because it gives me extra time to pay my bills.
It helps me get birthday gifts for the family when they are on special anytime in the year. So I have been able to get all the shopping done for the family right up to december and now I can start on christmas shopping.
I HATE USING THE CREDIT CARD, YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH SPENDING, YOUR LOOSE YOUR LIMIT,and if you do not pay in time high interest is charged, it is temptation to biy more and any rubbish.
Hmmm! What can I say but my cards took the place of my stamp collection. First came no annual fee, half the interest rate and flybuys (work for the bank). Next came the store card with a 12 months interest free puchase which turned into the very high interest rate but good fly buy rewards. Last year came the brilliant low interst first 9 months on balance transfers. This one is killig me too. Paying for one Little death in the famly and the joy of shopping is out the window (reached the limit). But did this stop me? You guessed it. Card four is a visa debit card. Now what would the $1000 mean to me? Fly to Melbourne, stay for a week and go wild in the Smiggle Outlet in Spencer St. Dinner with friends, walk the lengths of Smith St and Bridge Road, dinner with friends again, maybe a comedy show and possibly some change to shop on ebay. PURE HEAVEN! See you at the registers.
I love Credit card some times because you dont need to carry cash n I hate credit because too much interest on that
I love my Mastercard credit card! Because I know that I have emergancy money wherever I go, if I see something that I like and haven't the money on me, I know my credit card is there. I Have the freedom to spend and travel if I want.That is why my credit cards are my friends.
Very simple, it allows for easy management of all major expenditures and it gives me fly buys points
This is so simple! The interest rate is far too high considering the recent changes in credit costs. The fees the banks charge for being one day over the due date - caused by the banks delay in processing internet banking transactions. Which by the way is a highly questionable practice both legally and morally. It also makes me think of all the totally unreasonable fees the bank forces on users.
The biggest money making invention of the financial industry. It has ensure the consumers must have one, business cannot operate without it and everyone gets high charges just for using it.
I love my credit cards because If I need money for emergency needs I can use it without delay.
Only in credit card ownership can you combine love and hate, sometimes my card is an angel but it can also be a real devil! I don't love it but I certainly don't hate it!
I absolutely adore my credit card. It is my saving grace. I only use it when there is a sale on to get bargins though, i'm not careless. I also use it to buy toys for my son when they are on sale. It's so handy being able to have money on tap...you just pay it off at the end of the month.
i love my debit mastercard because i can use it as either a savings or credit option.i don't get charged extra by withdrawing through the credit option as other cards charge it is very user friendly.
