I don’t trust them either, that’s why I’ve never given them a single cent. My entire account is literally just free games (and I have certainly gotten a few good ones over the years, although the vast majority is crap). If I’m actually going to buy something I’ll go to GOG or Steam.
No, they don’t charge higher transaction fees in order to pay those reward rates, they just give up on making any profit from that and instead try to profit from charging interest. Which of course is disproportionately paid from people who cannot actually afford it.
Usury is forbidden (haram) in Islam, so many Muslim majority countries do in fact do this.
Malaysia and Indonesia come to mind.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Agreed.
You forgot the butter.
I know right?
Didn’t Democrats literally just take him to court over fleecing those bankers by overvaluing his own properties in order to qualify for a lower interest rate? What exactly makes you think he’s in bed with them?
I mean that’s certainly a possibility but if it helps some people get out of debt, I won’t be mad about it.
Technically, the cashback they pay you likely comes directly out of the transaction fees they collect, which means that after expenses (for running the infrastructure etc.), they make little to no profit on swipes. Which means they have to make profit somewhere else, which, you guessed it, is fleecing those who don’t pay their balance off every month for as much as they can get away with.
You’re both right. The rewards are indeed mostly covered by the processing fees, but that means after covering infrastructure expenses etc., the banks are operating at a net loss (or breakeven at best), meaning they still have to fleece someone on their interest payments.
I guess we’ll see, but I think we can all appreciate his willingness to go straight to brass tacks and hold Trump’s feet to the flame while the entire Democrat Party leadership is still busy clutching their pearls.
FYI, Black Mesa is currently on sale for $4.99, absolute steal at that price.
Yes, Black Mesa costs money but it’s absolutely worth it, they put a LOT of effort into restoring the original as faithful as possible but with more modern graphics (Source engine based). I played the original Half-Life when it came out and Black Mesa definitely gave me the same amount of awe and wonder. One of the best fan remakes of any game I’ve ever seen.
Also, I see that it’s currently on sale for only $5 (75% off), at that price it’s a steal and absolutely worth it.
You can use a third party launcher like Heroic to avoid having to install that bloated crapfest of an app.
Why is it shortsighted? A service like this costs money to run, and if you won’t pay for it, someone else has to.
So did Facebook. It’s the old drug dealer gambit: first hit is on the house, after that, you gotta pay.
Hey kids, do you like violence?
Wanna see me stick nine inch nails through each one of my eyelids?
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did?
Try 'cid and get fucked up worse than my life is?
What about this makes you think they aren’t? Let’s be real, Trump hasn’t even had a chance to renege on this promise yet, since he won’t be president for another two months.
