I use an enterprise level hardware firewall that does just fine. I keep AV protection on a few machines just in case because they contain critical data.

Yeah, Norton has been that way for as long as I can remember. But I decided to give it a try because of the 360 package that includes firewall protection and there wasn't really a competitor out there [at least that I could find] that offered the same level of protection. My house is also cloaked in a personal VPN for added security :tup: We can't ever be too safe in the information age.

Nope, no Amazon visa.

I only have one CC. Well, technically two, but I opened one to get 0% when I bought my iPhone 5 and it's almost paid off (Dec) and I will cancel it.

I need to cancel my one with BofA and get one that will reward me or something. I don't use it much at all, but if there are rewards, I may use it more.

yah, definitely look into getting cards that give you points. i use a united milage card and i have enough to go to japan first class, or 4 of us in business. :D they also have a gift catalog you can buy stuff from using your points. i can also book hotels etc.

then the amazon card, i just use it and use the points to make free purchases. like i have a new track ball coming to me this week along with a few balls for my kids. i spent $0. :tup:

I have a Bank of America World Platinum Mastercard with points for everything I buy with a 9% fixed interest rate. Look into it, its a great card, never had an issue.

Ohh, you can use those points to get cash back, or several other lovely options. I happen to prefer the cash back. They also run triple points for buying certain things like gas.

dAvenue 10-30-2013 09:59 AM

American Express FTW. We use it for literally every transaction except where it's not accepted. I'm swimming in a bed of points like Indecent Proposal.

Just have to pay it off every month :ugh2:

Thats the KEY, paying it off every month.

When I bought my first macbook, I knew I was gonna get double points using my mastercard, so with a zero balance that I had, I made several deposits on my credit card so when I finally bought it, I pretty much zero'd out the balance AND received my points.

If it's just gas, etc. I can see paying it off every month, but if it's a big purchase (say exhaust + HFCs) I pay that off over a few months. Sure, there's a few bucks interest, but it's easier on the wallet. ;)

even if i dont board a united plane, as long as i keep using the united milage card i can keep the milage points virtually forever. :tup:

yah, if you can, try not to have any credit card balance each month. or if you have 0%apr, pay it off as you are doing.

not you, but a big mistake a lot of folks do... they base their affordability by monthly payments. :ugh: that will never get you enough savings and you will be stuck where you are. creditcards created a new definition for 'affordability' which imo is wat is killing a lot of people.

there are many people that make $200K a year living paycheck to paycheck. :facepalm:

onzedge 10-30-2013 10:23 AM

With my Visa Black card, points never expire. Also, the points per dollar spent is extremely generous and I transact about $8,000 to $10,000 per month on the card. Hotels, airfare, meals, etc... add up fast. Good thing it's mostly expensed.

I like it, I've had mine for a very long time. No issues.
