I have 2, my normal bank one and a secondary travel money one that has significantly better exchange rates and 0 international transfer or cashout fees

Are you in the states? Having tons of credit cards tends to be a uniquely American thing. 10 is a lot regardless, but having a couple is pretty standard over here and seems less weird than it does to the rest of the world. Between going into debt being more of an American problem, we get more fraud protection on credit cards, and there are hella choices for rewards for using credit, since they want to sucker you into paying 10-30% APR interest.

I know a couple of people who use https://www.curve.app/en/

and it works alright

That isn't really the same thing, though. That's 1 card (a master card), that goes through a 3rd party company, that then charges the card you have on file with them. What if your phone is dead and the default payment method you want to use isn't the one you want to use for a particular transaction

Okay, that's pretty cool. BUT STILL

That's fucking sick, just use that and then figure out which is which later on.i wonder how long you have?

I would think they'd have a 24-48 hour grace period, then charge a nominal convenience fee after that

That's what I would do

@timsandtoms I'm Australian

It seems to be a uniquely American thing, but it's a thing here too but on a much smaller scale

I don't want to destroy my credit so I avoid CCs but I've been tempted many many times

Ah. Yeh, Canadia and Australia are usually Americanized enough y'all get a good idea of what we got going on, but don't go full-retard with it.

One of the current deals is an Amex with 120k frequent flyer points (that's like two trips from here to Japan return), along with the annual fee refunded as flight credits

however

I dunno how your credit scores work, but between fuckings, more credit improved your score here. You want as much credit as you can, as many accounts as you can, all as old as possible, with as little utilization as possible.

you have to spend $3000 in a 3mo period on the card

Probably time we move to <#531212403858472967>

Fairo

has anyone bought a replacement phone battery before? My zuk z2 battery is really worn out. There are lots of replacements on aliexpress but I don't want to have an equally shit capacity knockoff or for my phone to catch fire.

>zuk2

havent heard that name

for like literally years

just deal with it and get a chonk battery

or get a new phone

who cares

it's the zuk z2

i'd get a new phone but the zuk z2 has a snapdragon 820 and is nice and small

it's a super niche phone

nobody's gonna be able to tell you whether the batteries are gonna be good or not

you just have to try and order it

i regret not getting those transparent orico usb hubs years ago

what did they use to go for? weren't they super cheap and shit?

About $10?

hm they're about 12.48 now

chinkshit is getting too popular now

they're raising the prices

or tha the economics of products have gotten more expensive <:chinese_think:323022148870602752>
