Credit Card Commercials?

Theres a commercial, I think it%26#039;s American Express... haven%26#039;t seen the commercial in a while... but essentially the commercial plays on the idiots in society (Then again, 90% of the US population is in that catagory).



Eitherway, the one part of the commercial I remember is the fact that a man was buying his fiance a wedding ring and had overdrawn his credit. The card boasts not to have any preset credit limits.



Question: What happens when you exceed your creditlimit?



Answer: You go into debt.



It%26#039;s simple, credit limits exist because people don%26#039;t keep track of their finances. Swipe and worry later they say...



Let alone the commercials that are playing on the ability to %26quot;add a picture to your card.%26quot; This is a major financial decision, not some toy you pick up on your way home from work.



But the worse commercial being that AMEX commercial, It blatantly says %26quot;we are royally f*%26#039;n you%26quot;. But obviously, a good percentage of the US population is stupid enough to fall for it.



Credit Card Commercials?

I%26#039;m glad I%26#039;m not the only one who sees through these freakin%26#039; commercials. The ones I hate are for Visa. Where the world stops when someone uses cash or check? How stupid. You%26#039;re exactly right in everything you said and I agree with every word.



I had to learn the hard way, and I%26#039;m STILL paying for my youthful mistakes. I%26#039;ll never have another credit card the rest of my life. I have two debit cards, and that%26#039;s it. If I need something, I pay for it with money I already have, not money I%26#039;ll have to pay back.



I%26#039;m so p.o.%26#039;d at these credit card companies, I actually started to see if I could email a complaint the other day, and never did (like it would do any good anyway). Thanks for letting me know I%26#039;m not the only one who%26#039;s tired of the corrupt credit card companies%26#039; deceiptful advertising.



Credit Card Commercials?

Not to change the subject, but I hate ALL commercials. All they do is interrupt whatever you sre watching.



I realize that these so called ads pay for broadcasting, but do they have to be sooooo long. By the time the show gets back, you%26#039;ve forgotten what it was about.



My suggestion is , have commercials before and after the show; not every 5 or so munutes.
