    On a debt free journey since February 2024. I owe $1,000 in credit card debt, $1,000 left on my car loan and $36,000 in student loans. I'll be done with the credit cards and car payments soon! I'm so happy!

This is so smart by them to launch it to shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk which is not even correct to begin with.

    Been working to be debt free in the next 12 months. One card is about one month away from being paid off using my current pay three times more than the payment plan plus moving some money from savings. That will free up $300 per month to DOUBLE the payoff rate of the last card. Can't wait.

I ALWAYS pay it off on time and have no debt on it. It's not the card that's the problem, it's the fact that most who use them are financially illiterate and thus get into trouble with them.

    That part of how they get people is by giving them a sense of superiority over the “poor” people. You get “secret” access to overcrowded lounges or points, you get a fancy looking card, and told that you’re special and not like the others for being approved for their credit card. You have people on American Express forums arguing about too many people having the card and the bank accepting too many people which is causing all those perks to be watered down. When in actuality, all these banks see them as suckers to be licked 😅

Get more money back than rewards points on credit cards, nice security layer by separating checking from savings, and reserves are always there to fall back on if needed without the psychological games.

      Exactly. Each bank's investigation into fraudulent charges is slightly different, especially once you consider the thousands of local banks and credit unions across the country. Also, even if a bank does return the funds, nothing says it will be prompt, which can easily cause disruptions with other auto-payments that may be scheduled.

    • @aolvaar8792
      @aolvaar8792 Před měsícem

      The two primary federal laws covering procedures after card theft or loss are the Fair Credit Billing Act and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.
      Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your liability for unauthorized charges depends on whether the thief personally presented your card to make the purchase or just stole the number.
      If the thief personally presents your card to make the purchase, the card issuer can't hold you liable for more than $50 in fraudulent charges. (12 C.F.R. § 1026.12). Many card issuers waive this $50.
      You have no liability if the thief stole the number but not the card.
      With ATM or debit cards, you must act quickly to avoid full liability for unauthorized charges when your card is lost or stolen. Under the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act, your liability is:
      $0 if you report the loss or theft of the card immediately and before any unauthorized charges are made.
      up to $50 if you notify the bank within two business days after you realize the card is missing
      up to $500 if you fail to notify the bank within two business days after you realize the card is missing, but do notify the bank within 60 days after your bank statement is mailed to you listing the unauthorized withdrawals, or
      unlimited if you fail to notify the bank within 60 days after your bank statement is mailed to you listing the unauthorized withdrawals. (15 U.S. Code § 1693g).

    Actually Wells Fargo is losing that amount bc ppl ARE paying back their balances and that equates to what they have to pay out in points and other “perks”.

There are a lot of responsible ppl who will buy and pay off every month and yes I know its a mental thing but I rather get a tiny perk out of my purchase rather than nothing. Self control is strong!

    Dave is right but he doesn’t address why there is a misconception about debit cards.

If asked “Debit or credit?” with your debit card, always say “Credit.” Not everyone knows.
