Default Be ready to BOTCOTT any bank or credit card co that caves

IMPO we shouldn't be lobbing Congress, the FED, or any agency on the proposed regulations.

The only people who can hurt us are the banks and credit cards companies.

Out of the 20,000 or so financial institutions you think they are all evil? You are biting off your nose to spite your face not using a credit card (unless it is for self control reasons). I get 5% back for gas and groceries for doing an activity I would anyhow. A free $600/year and using their money for free for a few weeks is a great deal for me.

Oh I have a wallet full of plastic cards that say VISA and MC on them but they are all tied to bank or securities accounts.

D$D<--Hates banks and doesn't own a credit card.

Thus there's no way for you to have known that a large percentage of US issued credit cards have denied transactions to online gaming sites for at least 5 years. They self-regulated a long time ago because too many cardholders were disputing charges after they lost. When I first started playing online in '02, neither my Visa nor my Mastercard would allow the deposit, only my debit card worked.

Curious about number three, are you referring to your credit history or a credit card. If its your credit history...how can a good one not be something worth having?
