Tell me Henry, have you ever refused to purchase a car/house/condo/anything because you wanted to pay more money for the same thing?

Yes. Many times. I'll pay a premium to be 100% certain that the item I'm buying is neither hot nor a knock-off. I will also pay a premium for better service. I'll pay a premium to not have to deal with other people. I also will not use a coupon under any circumstances.

I see this as similar to going to a chain restaurant where they give you free stuff on your birthday. If you are in university and do this fine. If you are well off and do this then that is pathetic.

Noah,

I was being sarcastic. I don't really feel any ethical qualms about it. If you feel you need the money to improve your life and can live with the relatively minor ethics of it, thats fine. I find the whole thing dubious and not really worth my time to deal with.

And yes, I do line shop and bonus whore. Kids gotta eat.

blue,

Is there any rule of thumb for that? Like if you pay them off each month and make 60k a year... Are you looking at being able to eventually borrow 400k+ on CC?

I said for the SAME THING. You are sure the product is the exact same. Process would be the same as well.
