I used Discover Deals on a new Discover account recently to purchase an iphone from Apple.com. It was a total of 6% on the front end and 6% on the back end. On a $1450 purchase. I've also cleaned house on some SamsClub.com orders in the last few months. Same effective 12%. Groupon purchases. Etc. Bummer.

Hey Peeps, should I have reported this to HR?

Missed your chance for some roadie.. -
LOL. Back when I had a job I had a loose $70 meal allowance for sales trips. One guy would have these huge spreadsheets for his food expense reports. Coffee, doughnuts, slurpees or Super Extra big gulps, chips, sandwiches, dinner at some crappy Chinese buffet etc. I'm not a big breakfast guy, so I'd pay for my own coffee and maybe a sandwich and water later, and then spend the company's $70 on dinner/wine/drinks. It frosted this guy's nuts that I had $70 dinners, even though we spent appx the same amount of the company's money towards meals each day. He actually complained about it.

That's why smart people like you and I visit Maine and most of Europe in the Summer, and then ride out the grueling SoCal winters at the beach Although one of my friends swears up and down I need to take the wife and kid to Tallinn, Estonia for Xmas...she says it's like a fairy tale. -

Yes. Much closer than New Mexico, Arizona and Texas. -
HELOC. Low APR, and since you're using the funds for home improvement the interest is legitimately tax deductible.

US Skank - WTF kind of survey questions are these???
Konrad2012 replied to steelers1's topic in Credit Forum
It's US Bank's survey, not Steelers1's survey. If 5% of the population is LGBT and only 2% of their survey respondents are LGBT, then they'll understand that through their marketing and/or operations they are somehow marginalizing that socioeconomic group. Your local community college probably has a basic marketing or business course you can take. -

Konrad2012 replied to steelers1's topic in Credit Forum
It's a survey. Who gives a damn? If you don't want to fill it out, then don't. If you don't want to answer the question, then don't. I'm not sure why anyone would find it offensive. -
The frontline CSR isn't going to have an answer. The supervisor might not have a an answer. It's either a Bluetooth call on a long drive or just request the check. If it was Discover or Barclays I'd call and demand extra miles for the inconvenience. Citi would tell you to kick rocks though so I wouldn't bother calling.

AMEX is just capping the ability to MS on the card. A free steak sandwich at Ruths Chris every month is nice. CV will appreciate the Cheesecake Factory I'm sure.

(article) lender proposing a reduction in mortgage standards
Konrad2012 replied to centex's topic in Credit Forum
I found out about a new mortgage finance program for self employed individuals lately that relies on bank statements as the basis for repayment consideration. 1 year needed of personal, or 2 years if supplying biz. I personally think it's great. Allows me to max out tax advantages on S Corp/C Corp for depreciating tooling/machinery, writing off stale inventory, etc etc -
Just over year post discharge and need a new car
Konrad2012 replied to wj2005's topic in Credit Forum
Leasing is for people who can write it off, or who get (and can afford) new cars every 36 months since you save on the sales taxes etc. Leasing is not for old people that just filed BK and don't drive a lot. And leasing used vehicles is not for anyone with a financial IQ. Thay need to buy something cheap and reliable. -
Interested to see if those approvals hold out 90 days for you guys. I hope they do, but I'm leary of it.
