shaft

I thought this was a joke, but I see it's not. Right now, I'm avoiding cryptocurrency rewards; they're too volatile.

Fair enough. I will be around more often, I owe it to the site.

Hey CBers! So I just checked my Fico Score through one of my credit cards and it said "850." Are these becoming more common? I'm a little surprised, but I know it has a lot to do with the wisdom I've gained from this site over the years. I have a screen shot, but I see no point in sharing it. For others who need inspiration, when I started the road to credit repair over 15 years ago, I was in the 500s. There was a time when I lived on this site soaking in the different perspectives, and sometimes disagreements, on how to handle credit. I've never forgotten the lessons learned here. I'm still a little surprised at the score, but because of this site I focus on my score, rewards, and PIF!!!!!!!

Congrats!

"Same pig, different shade of lipstick." I think @hegemony used to use that line often, it fits well here.

@hdporter It's good to be back around. I'm happy to see some of the old timers. This site was good to me and I don't forget the people who helped me along the way.

I'm going to try and convert one of my Citi Cards to this card. I'll use it as a filler for what my main cards don't cover.

Thanks! I hate starting a new thread when something is out there. I couldn't find it when I was searching.

hey old friend! It's been a longgg time! Marriage and 3 children have become my priority. I still snoop around the website. Every time I look at my credit score I think about CB. I miss the old days where we we would argue, debate, and laugh over strategies regarding credit. Back then it was You, Trevor, Marcus, Stryker, Bob Wang, and many others. It was a good time.

This is a relatively new card that has sparked my interest: This could be a nice card to complement my grocery, gas, restaurant, and travel cards. In other words, strategically using it in other areas (e.g. streaming, home improvement, transit, etc.). Anyone have this card yet?

I've noticed more in the past month. Unfortunately, based on history, this is a sign that cash might change to points. When it converts to points they can control the value of the points a lot more. In other words, 1 point does NOT always equal 1%.

Citi is encouraging me to convert my cashback to TY points, is this the "beginning of the end" of another good card?

They just gave me a $7k increase. I keep forgetting to check that button more often.

In all seriousness, well I was serious about the dating, but one of the things I treasure the most from CB is making me aware of REWARDS!!!!!! My banks should be rewarding me for my business. I've turned into a cashback/points/miles guru because of these boards.

And CB missed you! Where the hell have you been? CC! I miss those reward threads we used to have fun with. I'll make a post about where I've been sooner or later, but credit and dating had something to do with it.
