RE: Why You should AVOID A Discover Miles Credit Card

in #success8 years ago (edited)

I learned from my own experiences and others that credit cards are scams. If you have the money or access to it then you'll never need credit. If you want to spend money you don't have and might never have, then credit is available, with lots and lots of interest so that if you lose your job or employment based income stream you are stuck.

The only thing I use credit for now is when I need to pay for something faster than I can transfer money to a bank and they wont take cash or anything else. Credit is a last resort and choose to pay entire bills off a week or two after making them or sometimes even in the same day. Basically if it's money I already have in some form then I use credit.

Credit cards are amazing. Just pay it off each month.

There is no reason to use credit if you have money. If you don't have money and use credit then it's a mistake. So why ever use credit?

To get the points and travel for free!

Hurray for gamifications. It aint free if you gotta spend to buy it. Think about it.

Oh I've thought about it for a long time. I don't spend anything I wouldn't normally spend... I just get free travel for the money I do spend.

The only time I can think of to max out the credit cards is to use it to buy cryptocurrency or to start a company. Entrepreneurship is the one time where credit could be worth it in terms of risk vs reward.
