Credit Card Stamp Duty (1 Viewer)

[Beanstalk]

€40! What a balls! !bog

Is this a new thing, or have they just bumped up the price?

 

[Stan Bowles]

Been like that for years I think, well at least three anyway. Twenty euro for your laser card.

 

[MDR]

Has to be the most complete bullshit tax of all time.

 

[Super Dexta]

and even having a student credit card you're not exempt. put me over my paltry limit. tsk.

 

[Vinnie]

Surely that honour has to go to ATM stamp duty? A tax on a private institution's facility that allows you just to get access to your own money that you have already paid tax on just before you spend it and get taxed again.

It wont be long before it becomes a muggers joke to call robbing people 'stamp duty'. Pay your stamp duty or its my duty to stamp you.

Has to be the most complete bullshit tax of all time.

Its definitely not a new thing. noone is excempt from it not even the teenage account

When i was in college, i scraped €40 together to put into my credit card and the same cocking day, the stamp duty came out and wiped my €40. Cunts.

i just applied for my first ever credit card and i'm excited/terrified.

positives: booking stuff online
negatives: hoping I have the willpower to leave it at home most of the time.

ah well it'll be 358 days before you have to pay the credit card stamp duty

I'm too scared to get a credit card hence wrecked peoples head borrowing theirs or use the 3V one. I know I dont have the willpower for one. Think that Eddie Hobbes dude had an effect on me

I can honestly say getting a credit card was the worst thing i ever did. I have no willpower and almost €10k of credit card debt and a room full of commodore 64s and scratched two tone original seven inches to prove it.

I'll buy the two tone singles off you if you like. I have only a student c/c €600 limit thanks be otherwise I would be 1000s and 1000s in debt.

i have put it off for years but am starting to get very fed up with the fact that I cant buy a flight online when I need to.

i genuinely plan on leaving it in a drawer.

I'd be only too happy to sell them. I've a huge stack of vinyl i'm going to try sell off soon.

What i wish i'd done was make my credit limit something like €100 and if i wanted to spend say €300, put €200 in. I made the mistake of making the limit €2000, then when i maxed it, getting out a loan to pay it off, but not reducing the limit.

I use 3V for that. I dont really care about the extra costs cos I couldnt manage an overdraft so I know theres no way I'd manage a credit card. Saying that other people are fine and know how to use them right

I noticed that alright.... they are either everywhere or haven't been heard of which is strange. I could only get vouchers in Galway in three shops for a while now they are about ten all of a sudden. Ah a credit card is fine I'm not trying to scare you if it sounds that way .... just saying I personally amn't able for one.

Leaving it in a drawer sounds like a good idea. As does fixing the limit

 

[ernesto]

i owe my credit card €2,500. my limit is €2,800.
i have no proper job. im an idiot.
