Move Over American Express!


American Express is well known for having their exclusive credit card, only available to the ubber rich. Well, watch out. You may soon see me on commercials for the exclusive Visa Black Card! You think I'm joking? I got some mail the other day. It was a black envelope. Inside was an invitation for the Visa Black Card. Say what? Seriously, this card has an annual fee of $495 A YEAR. Add Baker to the account and there is another $195 annual fee per person. Yikes. That's a lot. You know why that's A LOT? Because I'm not a millionaire. Or billionaire. I notice fees because I would much rather spend that money on something useful. Apparently, this card is only for an exclusive 1% of the population. Huh. While that makes me feel special (not really), there has been a serious mistake. Because, there is no way I would qualify. Ahem. I'm a stay at home mom. Last time I checked, I don't receive an annual income for this position. And you know what? I don't even care if I would or wouldn't qualify for the Visa Black Card. All that to say, I may not be a millionaire, but I'm a richly blessed stay at home momma! That, and who does the advertising and mailers for Visa Black Card?! Someone may need to look into quality control. . .

im a 16 year old girl, i know nothing about credit cards. but i know for a fact people cant be stupid enough to actually get one. lol. thats a lifetime of debt right there. credit cards are another way for the government to make money off you... let you borrow their money and then charge you more just to pay him back... makes no sense to me? i would rather spend money that i earned myself. :)
