During the last .22 ammo dearth, folks ‘invested’ in ammo bricks, paying with the card.
“It’s here on the shelf. Better get it now! I can pay later.”
Or, as I said, get a cash advance. Yeah, I know. Didn’t want to take a chance of walking away from it. Lucky for me I stumbled on a bunch of it right before the “crisis” that a widow had brought to the store to get rid of. All unopened boxes and probably 30% below retail at the time. Sometimes you just land in the right place at the right time. :-)
Merry Christmas.
