Credit Card Trophy Hunting
Phil van Hest |
Tuesday, December 7, 2010 It's a new sport. I hunt credit cards. First, I track down one that offers a free Gift Card (or other such promotional fare) on approval. Spend that cash. When the card shows up in the mail, BLAM! Shot down. Cancelled. Never saw it coming. Then I mount that card in a nice frame for the wall, like the head of an animal I have successfully stalked, shot, and eaten. It's an exhilarating sport - and these cards are ALWAYS in season. Please, feel free to join me -- you have nothing to lose but a couple points from your credit score. Since I am morally opposed to credit (money is already debt; no need to compound the issue), I have no problem with this attitude -- if you want to help but not pull the trigger, perhaps you could just help by forwarding me some leads on where to find my elusive prey.
Let's take 'em down.
