It’s amazing how few of the sponsored products I use.
Lenovo-It’s a work laptop, so I’m not really supporting them
Fed Ex-Work stuff
McDonald’s-Occasionally
Microsoft-I use their software but it’s an old version that we transfer whenever we get a new home PC
Pepsi-I like Mountain dew but rarely drink it
Visa-We pay our CC off monthly, so they don’t get any interest from us. Mostly use Discover
Verizon-Stuck under contract to these vultures for Internet.
Regarding the Visa CC -
I’m pretty sure that even if they don’t get interest payments from you or an annual fee, they still make money on the difference between what the store charges you and what they receive from Visa.
I believe Visa is still making money off your purchases, although it’s less than it otherwise could be.
