Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Add End: NFC.Credit card BS

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

Maybe they could pay you to use their card?  That's better than 0%.  
LOL.  I use my card to keep track of what I spend where, besides the 
points.  I keep track of all my accounts and credit cards daily online 
(takes about 10 min every morning), and I usually send payments weekly.  
Just to stay ahead of their mailed bills or in case I am out of town 
etc.  It just takes a couple of keyboard clicks online so it's no trouble.
