Credit cards online...
 
Well, I know it sounds wierd, maybe some of you have your own credit cards, but, do your parents use their credit cards online? My mom won't use it unless it's at Amazon.com because that's where she's bought things before. But, do your parents let you use their credit cards online? My mom just lent my her's to buy a book and MoH: Underground from Amazon....wierd, yet she won't let my buy anything from Bestbuy.com... oOo:

Yeah, I use my Credit Card all the time, Amazon.com, Gamespot, Fileplanet, the occasional porno site, you name it. I dont need these things (except for the Stargate DVD sets and other DVD's which wont end up in Australia for another 6 months) but I get/use them anyway. Thats the power of the Credit Card. Best thing with the porn, I subscribe, then cancel, get a refund, and I still get the month I initially paid for. Use that fucking plastic wisely, it will end up owning you.

i like the fact that everyone feels all safe giving out their cc details when they have a little "secure connection" SSL padlock show up on their browser.

yes people no hacker anywhere can be bothered trying to intercept your encrypted packets to steal the details on a single credit card that may or may not have $7 worth of credit left on it to abuse.

on the other hand there is no icon to show your details arent being stored in a bigass database along with everyone elses in an unpatched SQL server that still has the logins for the guys who were sacked months ago.

nobody lifts a single credit card number when it is infinitely easier to get them in batches of 10,000.

unless you read security mailing lists you might actually be suprised this happens quite a bit...... then again with less than half of breaches like that getting reported or even discovered the actual rate of this happening will suprise everyone.... if we ever knew that is.

Yeah, and if some asshole happens to get my cash....fuck it. I'll earn it back and get my credit card number changed. It's only cash, it comes and goes. Sure, I'll be pissed, but I'd rather be bankrupt than ass up with rigor mortis.

I use mine online all the time. I am more worried about the guy getting paid minimum wage at the convenience store lifting my numbers off the store copy of my reciept. You only have a limited liability in those situations anyway.

If I still HAD credit, I would use it online. The first place I'd go is EBAY...

Need I explain why ? biggrin:

And NO, I won't explain what I mean by "if I still had credit" hahahaha.

I wish i was old enough to get a credit card, so i can buy a bolt action rifle and shoot it in the air, like what saddam does, saddam is my hero.

Hussian? WTF? Why? He's a bad, bad, man. He should be whipped then beaten and then he'll be flogged, he ran over the taco bell dog... biggrin: I'm only 13...screw laws, I want a Visa Kid Card, they had those a while back for 13+ with a credit line starting at $50.
