10. how's this...
~cost of the morning newspaper .50 cents
~cost of a pair of scissors, $1.50
~cost of a Master Card postage paid business reply envelope, free

Stuffing the envelope with tons of cut up newspaper and the satisfaction of pissing off credit-card loan sharks who have to pay for the extra postage?

PRICELE$$.

:smoke:

11. Here's my blatantly partisan ad:
Cost of a tank of gas the first week: $40 on debit card

Cost of a tank of gas the second week: $48 on debit card

Cost of a tank of gas the third week: $53 on debit card

Knowing that Exxon Mobil makes a $36 billion proft and oil barons control all branches of our government: Priceless.

19. Just a note about this
MasterCard (and Visa) do not set your interest rates, your bank does. They make all their money on transaction fees, and nothing from interest.
