Who takes credit cards for payment?

[pmdelites]

I would never use a credit card....I did once, in San Francisco, big fees were tacked on...how would you gingerly dispute charges with Visa/Mastercard?

I've heard of that being done at strip clubs too.

I have a work-around. You can use your credit card to buy Amazon e-giftcards in any denomination and then email them to me (BEFORE the date or at the start of the date. We have a desktop at our incall).

Or you can buy Vanilla Visa cards at a drugstore or grocery store and use those. Then the charge just shows up as "CVS", "WalMart", or "Tom Thumb".

The provider can go spend the cards at "House of Dildos" for all you care! It will never be tied back to you.

The Amazon is preferable as there is no fee for you and because I can use remaining increments easily.

I actually just uploaded $3.15 onto an Amazon virtual giftcard from a Vanilla Visa that had that odd little remainder after I'd bought some things.

Vanilla Visa is the biggest ripoff out there. It always has some problems. You have to register it and then when you want to use it to buy something, it is always denied.

It's a total scam. Avoid it like the plague.

Cash is king, unless you are renting a car at Hertz/Avis/Enterprise etc.

Wow, credit cards? Your kidding right? For petty crimes under 50 g's the feds will not get involved, well unless you send up a nice trail, Guess what? you just did when that cc number goes through the magnetic reader or entered it by hand into a computer. BTW, people get paid to do such things such as trace user habits by electronic means including web traffic......

[fletch]

oh ya...credit cards you should definitely use them, what could possibly go wrong????
