Credit card miscellany (170)
August 18, 2008 Archives
Visa may not have won eight gold medals like Michael Phelps, but those with the credit card company surely must feel like a huge winner just for being so closely associated with the American swimmer's phenomenal rise to superstardom.
I was babysitting two kids one evening last week and read as they watched the Disney Channel. I can't stand the overacting and laugh tracks on those shows. When I heard something about credit cards, however, my ears perked up. A "That's So Raven" episode taught a great lesson about the wise use of credit.
They say the third time's the charm -- and for my latest collection of credit card crime tales have I got a group of charming criminals for you: an informant known as "SoupNazi," a duo who steal credit cards from hospitals and a former college basketball player who accepts a car ride in exchange for the driver's credit card.
