I'm shocked  :P

I applied for an Amazon credit card, with the promise of a rebate on my next order.  Got the letter from JP Morgan chase saying I'm no approved.  Now, I just got an offer to raise my Master Card limit to 25 000$, but Amazon Visa is refusing me for a few thousand bucks... 

Sign of the times?  Banks do not give credit cards to anyone anymore? :)  Where will the world go if we can't have credit for 100 times our net worth??  :huh: :P

I hope your net worth is more than $250.

I use that card to buy everything. I get tons of free stuff from Amazon that way.


As for the credit check, my guess is there was some tangential reason it was declined. Like a security thing or something. I'd call them.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Banks still give out credit cards :huh:

The two cards I use most often are from my bank and my credit union.

Hypocrisy, all of it.  Enjoy your debt cards, suckers.

I do. Got a tree stand coming in in a few days. Going to pick up a few trail cams too. I let you see pics of the pretty wildlife before I assassinate them. :blurgh:

Debit cards don't have the same protections that credit cards do if I'm not mistaken.
PDH!

Trail cams are cool as shit.  A buddy of mine has trail cams on and around his property, lots of wooded acreage up by the Pennsylvania line.  The kind of guy that races home and goes bow hunting after work. 
Came in to work one day, shows the photo and time stamp of his trudging home at sunset on one trail, and another photo approximately 5 minutes later from the same camera with a gorgeous 8 point buck in the exact same spot on the trail.  Swear to God, it was actually LOLing at the camera.  :lol:
