Does or have any of you owned an
American Express Platinum card? What in blue blazers is the advantages of owning one over a regular gold card? Is there any difference besides the higher membership fee? Or is it one of those ego cards that make one feel "important"?

yeah cause they charge retailers the highest fees, but they keep mentioning they membership rewards and exclusive invites to shopping discounts with some retailers... I think they give cash advances too and allow you to pay back over time? no?

Cara: You were balling on a monthly charge card? I understand all that and allso youd rather have a card free of interest rate

didn't you hear that i was young and a ding dong??? all i know is i could get what i wanted by putting out dem evil credit cards. that's why i only have a Sears and Visa card. if i can't get it with my debit card then i don't need it.
