    You can get another, but they went full retard, too.

    Not surprised one bit. Every company is full-woke now, which is why I keep my public facing social media (that tied to my real name) obscured.

    A credit card is nice to have for emergencies/travel, so I did get another one.

    We are mostly Bank of America for the past 30 years or so. They are at least as big of Woke idiots as Am Express but the Warden likes their cash rewards thing. I let her be the family comptroller since I aint good at arithmetic. On a brighter note we beat Am Express out of about 10 k when we went bankrupt in the 80s. Bet they never missed it.

    Don't have a CC. Never had a CC. It makes my credit suck, but it keeps me out of debt. I owe no one anything.

    Some things you cannot find locally, or the local variant is three times the price. I'll pay a little more to support a local store, and do when I can, but if the price is double or triple as compared to online (not just Amazon) that is a hard thing to ask.
    The only way the prices will be able to come down at the local stores is for people to quit buying online. It is kind of a vicious cycle.

    Terrible company, actually. I had a friend that worked for them and he had horror stories.

    Like I stated though, I'll pay somewhat more. Usually prices are %20-25 more locally, which I don't typically mind, but when the same item, same SKU (and sometimes the same supplier) is %100 or %150 more expensive, that is too much to ask of the middle class person.

    Keep in mind there are really only the big three… Amex, visa and MasterCard.

    The rest is just branding from a specific bank. They all go through these systems, including debit cards. The only difference with a debit card is that the big three don’t get their % of the purchase.

    Sounds like you've been able to keep your comptroller in check since the 80's! Nice job bigwheel! Way to take control of the "warden"!
