Hello

[anonymous]

I'm new here, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.

Hi! Who are you, again?

What credit card did you get (in your MetaFilter post)?

[anonymous]

Hi

In your ask.metafilter "economy" post, you mention several times that
you recently got a great credit card... what card is that?
I don't have a metafilter or LJ account so I can't use the in-house mail
system... I tried emailing you but they bounced :-(

> * I just applied for and received a super-low-rate credit card -- and
> my research confirms that the rate will actually not ever rise

That sounds great. Would you please update your metafilter thread with
the card's info for people like me who are looking for a new one?

Thanks!

Scott

Hi,

I hope you'll understand why I'd rather not mention that information publically. But I can tell you that http://www.creditcardguide.com/ is one of two sites I looked at to select that card -- it has a good, impartial rundown of the different kinds of credit card offers out there -- which ones have reward points, which ones have low rates, etc.

Thanks for the link. That's a really interesting site and I'm sure I'll find it useful.

Actually no, not really. Perhaps you think I'll use that to steal your identity? The chance of that is so close to zero as to make no odds. Especially compared to say, giving your actual card to the waiter at a restaurant, or buying something online. *shrug*

Anyway, congrats to you for living below your means and working hard to pay off your debt. I can tell you from my own experience that it's _such_ a relief when you finally become debt-free. (For me, it was paying off student loans)

Best of luck to you now and always :-)

Not necessarily you, but someone in the public in general. Better safe than sorry, is all.

Hey, you might be the only person on my flist on metaquote. I propose that if you'll post my Llama Llama thing for me, I'll post whatever next brilliant thing you write and want metaquoted for you. Interested?

Hi! I'm glad the add worked. I sent you a reply through LiveJournal the other day which I hope you got, and of course I am about to go off-line for a while so it may be some time before I catch up on my friends list, but I hope you have a great holiday and new year.

Hi QueenCallipygos

[longislanderic]

Your posts are very interesting. You left some questions unanswered. How did you double your money in Vegas ? Do you skip stones ? Is the story with Sue and Flowers really real ? Sincerely A.N.

Re: Hi QueenCallipygos

[queencallipygos]

...Yes, this was a real story. As for the other questions, stick around.

Now, speaking of questions -- how'd you find your way here?
