Topic | I got 92% of the FF15 achievements |
LordBalor4 07/16/18 1:04:13 AM #2 | Anyway, game was fun. Liked the open world aspect and the gameplay was great (especially when compared to FF13 *shudders*). Story was pretty weak, but the characters were cool and the game had a nice atmosphere. Solid 8/10. |
Topic | Which of these SNES classic games should I play next |
LordBalor4 07/16/18 1:01:56 AM #3 | Seiken Densetu 3 (aka Secret of Mana 2). It is one of the best SNES games by far. |

You are one of those "I gotta always be right types" arent you? This is such a stupid argument lol. Ok bro, im sorry. you are so cool and right. Thanks for coming here and imbuing us with your years of credit card churning mastery. We are truly grateful for your presence. I wish I had enough foresight to sign up for a $195 annual fee card on a $7.25/hr income. You are truly an asset to this site. Thank you. |

LordBalor4 06/20/18 11:16:06 AM #48 | DoctorVader posted... I don't know what you're arguing at this point. Hahahahaha your "years of churning experience" don't impress me. At this moment I am sitting on enough Amex points for several free first class tickets anywhere in the world. Why are you so butthurt? Have to always be right 100% of the time? Charge cards do have higher credit requirements , but they are still easy to get for anyone with a job who isnt financially illiterate. As I already said, these cards dont mean anything and I see no point arguing over something so pointless lol. I like the perks and they will make my trips more enjoyable. |

LordBalor4 06/20/18 4:41:59 AM #43 | DoctorVader posted... LordBalor4 posted...Nah, their credit requirement for charge cards are higher than for their credit cards. Not like it really matters though. As long as you make decent money and pay your bills, you can get either. Card Approval Charge cards are usually harder to get than credit cards. They do not come with a set spending limit per se, although the issues can cap your buying limit if it chooses to do so. For example, you shouldnt expect to buy a new car with a charge card. In addition, charge cards require excellent credit and a high income level. They are aimed at consumers who have the ability to spend large sums of cash. Credit cards, on the other hand, are aimed at consumers who want to buy now and pay later. https://pocketsense.com/easier-approved-charge-card-credit-card-6531.html Are Charge Cards Easier to Get? Charge cards are generally harder to get approved for than most other credit cards. Since they come with no preset spending limit, issuers face greater risks putting a card like this in the hands of someone who does not have a solid track record of paying back debts they could potentially make many purchases which, when unpaid, the issuer becomes liable for. This is why charge cards, such as the American Express Premier Rewards Gold card, require excellent credit to obtain. https://www.valuepenguin.com/charge-card-vs-credit-card-differences#easy-to-get |

The only cards that really mean anything are Amex Centurion (Black Card), JP Morgan Palladium, and Amex Private Wealth-Branded Platinum cards. |

LordBalor4 06/20/18 12:20:55 AM #23 | GigaSPX posted... I wonder what is TC's credit limit though that comes with the Platinum, but it's just a curiosity he doesn't have to disclose here. There is no preset spending limit--though that doesn't mean *no* limit. They amount you can charge to the card is a multiple of your past spending history + considers your income. The amount you can charge isnt disclosed, but they have a tool on their site that lets you enter in an amount to see if it is approved. You can basically charge whatever you want on it and the limit really only comes into play if you are trying to buy stuff like cars. Even then, you just have to call them in advance and let them know you are spending a lot. The black card though, that one actually has NO limit. People can't apply for that card though--you have to be invited. |

LordBalor4 06/19/18 11:01:13 PM #1 | They overnighted it to me in a bigass welcome package. I have felt metal cards before, but this thing is a brick. I have been thinking about getting it for a while, but finally decided to pull the trigger as I am traveling to Beverly Hills next month to get a minor cosmetic procedure done (god, I feel like such a douche typing that). Amex requires $5k in spending right off the bat to qualify for the welcome bonus, so I figure I will just throw it all on the card. Will be a nice opportunity to try out the travel benefits as well. Might have the Amex concierge service book me lunch at Spago. Amex has special tables reserved at top restaurants, so they can get Platinum and Black card holders in even if the restaurant is fully booked. There are a ton of little things like that that make this card different from anything else on the market. |
