Righto, thanks fellas

2018-07-28 23:55:03 UTC  

Probably look into that this evening

2018-07-28 23:55:24 UTC  

So couple bucks more from GearBest but I get a warranty, right?

2018-07-28 23:57:28 UTC  

Oh, bugger, hope my new card arrives in time for the sale, I THINK it adds more warranty than the other few

2018-07-28 23:57:29 UTC  

I guess

2018-07-28 23:57:58 UTC  

wdym card?

2018-07-28 23:58:17 UTC  

New credit card, signed up last night

2018-07-28 23:58:57 UTC  

I don't remember which one's add warranty and which don't.

2018-07-28 23:59:16 UTC  

I mean I doubt it will break down that easily

2018-07-28 23:59:42 UTC  

nice thing of buying chinkphones aswell is that you can replace it every 2-3 years without it costing too much unlike flagships

2018-07-28 23:59:58 UTC  

Yeah, but I'd spend a few bucks on an extended warranty to mean I'm covered for those full 2-3 years

2018-07-29 00:01:24 UTC  

So no warranty Ali $180 vs 1 year GearBest $190, worth. 1 year GearBest vs 2-3 if I just check which card to use, worth.

2018-07-29 00:02:02 UTC  

don't know how credit cards work tbh

2018-07-29 00:02:12 UTC  

US or elsewhere?

2018-07-29 00:02:13 UTC  

don't need them in europe really

2018-07-29 00:02:19 UTC  

Ah

2018-07-29 00:03:20 UTC  

Credit score is a big thing here for any money lending stuff, so it's worth using one regardless, but you're more covered if your card gets stolen/cloned if you're in credit instead of debit here

2018-07-29 00:03:45 UTC  

it's a weird system tbh

2018-07-29 00:03:45 UTC  

Which is a real possibility, because we're JUST NOW getting on chip and pin

2018-07-29 00:03:51 UTC  

Yeah, no arguments there

2018-07-29 00:04:01 UTC  

Just now?

2018-07-29 00:04:44 UTC  
2018-07-29 00:05:13 UTC  

But, card networks charge merchants to accept their cards, so all the networks want you to use their card, so they add bonuses. % back on your statement, points to redeem towards gift cards or flights, extended warranty coverage, price matching for 90 days, etc

2018-07-29 00:05:14 UTC  

I know the basics but I don't see a reason to get them here

2018-07-29 00:05:26 UTC  

it's just added cost for things I can already just do with debit

2018-07-29 00:05:39 UTC  

All about building up reward points and insurance

2018-07-29 00:05:57 UTC  

And it's just one of those cases where they couldn't afford to do those things if EVERYONE took advantage, but few do, so if you're in that minority that does, it's SO worth it.
