Oh no. First Capital One bought out Walmart credit cards, now Discover. I hate Capital One and have tried to stay away from them, only for them to buy out the credit card companies I banked with. Gawd if I ever pay these blasted things off and cut them up, they will be gone.

What you earn in cash back is a fraction of what they're making off you in transaction fees to the merchants.
Trust me when I tell you they're making money on you. As much as they'd like? No, they're still making money though. I used to work at a large nationwide retail bank. If they weren't making money from you, they'd cancel your card.

Same here.
I use the CC to pay the bills every month.
The cc is paid on the first every month (same day I get my monthly income), so there are no issues on my side.
I did this because when I came back to the states, I had NO credit, since I was gone for so long, and it has built my credit back up well above 700 in the last couple of years.
The only issue I am having, is I keep getting cc companies constantly sending me junk mail to get their cc too π (which I blacken out all of my info and trash).

When you charge upwards of 20% to 30% you are rolling in cash.

2% is so 20th century, mast cards are getting > 4% these days. It’s why almost all small businesses and restaurants are charging extra for non-cash payments these days. If it has come t your local area, look out it will soon...

it is because of the chancellery courts in Delaware. One of the main reasons so many companies incorporate there. Biden be damned, it is how The First State has remained relevant for centuries.

My 2% figure was what I believe the card co’s get after the 3rd party processor gets their cut (Visa, MC, Discover, etc. don’t get the full 4% a store pays the IT card service processor).

Have been saving up for one of those micro shredder thingies (into tiny little rectangles, and supposedly can do CDs and DVDs too).

Most shredders break when I look at them. Actually, I get impatient and tend to jam too much paper, window envelopes, staples and you name it. My latest shredder isn’t bad. It will shred credit cards too.

Exactly.. that is why I am (trying to) saving up for a non-Chinese made (hopefully American or Japanese) shredder that is supposed to shred up to 12 sheets at once (or something like that).
I am willing to go up around $100, but need to make sure it is real first.

Discover Card’s website STILL doesn’t have two factor authentication. They just refuse to do it. You can’t activate it. Not an option.
Not a good sign.
