So I Done Applied For A Credit Card

Literally just for the hell of it that is. I don't bank with BMO so I am sure to not get the thing. They tend to only like people who bank with them I'm told.

The thing is, I don't actually want the thing. I just want to see what they say. I noticed in the ads that I KEEP getting from Airmiles say they will respond in 60 seconds after you apply.

It's bullshit in a way and true in another. They try to make it seem that the process is instant and in a minute you will know. Well the reply is as you see in the screen cap. That being that they will let you know in 10 to 15 banking days.

Ha. I was absolutely certain I would not know right away that is for sure. The other thing is, I have a good credit rating and have a "payment card" from my bank. I also met the criteria to get an actual credit card - did not want to go there though. Not my kind of thing. If I don't have the money in the bank I'm not spending on something.

They try at BMO to sugar the pot by telling you there is no annual fees. The ticket is though, you get instant interest applied on the money you spend. That is to say, even if you pay it off in the 30 days you still pay interest. You just pay a LOT more interest if you go over the 30 days.

This being said I am sure the next computer I buy will be on credit - sigh. But that is the way it will have to be as I don't have the ability to save it seems. That and they don't allow you to have much savings when you are on disability in Saskatchewan - Sigh...

When I do have to go for a new system it will be taken out of the bank right away at the start of the month. That is if I even get another one. After all I do seem to be able to do anything I want on my smart phone now. I can edit video and do custom thumbnails and so on. So I might just skip it.

Any how - I will let you know what happens. Oh and if I get the dang thing, it's $60 worth of airmiles money in my account for doing it. The it goes in a desk drawer forever...

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
