You understand how a LLC works right? Plus he is going to pay it off same month, he should be fine. unless he falls into that early "first time credit card owner" trap and buys shit he cant afford.

Do you guys really believe even one word of Goodrum's bullshit?

This is his idea of a "showing off" troll thread.

look into the SW reward business credit card, it isn't too bad.

I hate Southwest, I prefer Delta business class.

Yes, of course I understand. But if he's going to pay it off anyway just stay with a business debit card. Just my opinion. We've always operated debt free since day one.

If you pay it off monthly it doesn't matter. If you pay your statement balance monthly there are no fees or interest incurred. You simply get rewards for free dude.

I've always been big on paying cash for everything but after speaking with some fellow Getbiggers via PM, I've gotten an AMEX business card and am going to put everything on the card and pay it off each month to get the points and rewards....just to see how it goes.    

It will go very well as long as you follow the rule of paying it off before it accrues interest. The points are a bonus. Not having to carry around cash to pay for incidentals is also a huge plus. Additionally, even when you never accrue debt, you're credit score will reflect your sensible credit card management. When you want to buy something, like a house, which you may not be able to pay cash for, you will be amazed at how much your good credit history saves you in interest.

Recently, I financed the purchase of a new car. Because of my exceptional credit rating, I am paying a rate that is less than the already low credit union advertises. My mortgage interest rate is as low as they go for the same reason. The only danger is that creditors seek out folks who have great credit and are no risk. If you take advantage of everything you are offered, you could end up in debt. My rule of thumb is if I cash out an investment to pay for something that investment must earn less than the rate I am getting to finance it, by a lot. Once you cash out investments, you may never fully recover them.

The Amex BCP is better for my spending style because the cash always seems to make more sense than points.

Chase Freedom is also really cool card and has a referral bonus that might be useful.

There are great products out there from PenFed and Navy Federal. USAA deserves a mention, too!

I hate flying. I try to avoid it at all costs. But its the fastest way to get anywhere. I wish they would invent something that can take you from Point A to Point B in the same amount of time as flying (but where youre not 25K off the ground).  ??? ???

The catch is everyone goes into thinking "I'll just pay it off each month and collect points" Then one month they need new tires so they charge the tires, then they don't have the money to pay the bill, then they see a TV they must have so they charge that then before they know it they're a true American with $5K in credit card debt then say fuck it. I have a $10K limit and start charging more things.  The credit card companies aren't stupid and make billions of dollars for a reason.

Yeah that is the trap. You got to have enough will power not to buy shit you can't afford. The trick is to spend 3% of your limit and NEVER NEVER NEVER go over 30%. That way your score goes up. Credit is a game, you have to know the rules.

Given Goodrums salary, how much do you think he can charge per month?

Gayer than worrying about whether you'll be able to pay your credit card off each month.   ::)

I've been a Costco shopper for well over a decade. Always pay cash, never had an Amex card but have Visa and a MasterCard.  Now they take Visa, the temptation to buy more than what I'm carrying in cash is fucking insane.  I used to love Costco and now need to stay away.

More banks and credit card companies are going with cash rewards lately.

Your rationale is interesting and somewhat flawed. The new Costco visa is from Citi bank. I don't believe you earn credits/cash rewards at Costco when using visa cards from other sources.

assuming he actually did get a card and isn't lying.

someone with zero or bad credit like  will be given about 1200 limit on a credit card with about 22 percent interest

What the fuck is the matter with you people? How do you spend more than you make? Do you not have any discipline/will power? A bunch of disgusting fat bodies I bet.

$1200 is a monumental amount to someone like Melvin Goodrum.

When you make $10.45hr, have no savings & have lived on minimum wage at poverty levels all of your life, this is like winning the lottery.

To be middle aged & still have no credit tells you all you need to know about how successful Melvin Goodrum has been in real life.
