Do people actually use Discover Cards?
Why are probiotic pills marketed as “vegetarian”
So vegetarians will buy them.
Hypocrites
Now that you mention it, yes.
I do, when the rewards are good.Quote:

Purple, like royalty. Can’t imagine the respect earned when you plonk that thing down.Quote:

The most popular author in Germany is Karl May, who wrote about the Old West. We have a German friend who's seriously into line dancing, with full Western regalia. It's very very big over there.Quote:

It's pretty simple once you get used to it, and it does make me carry around a few cards (Costanza wallet). Discover is the most challenging one to use, since the categories change every quarter, but it's still worth it to pay attention and get 5% back on groceries for 3 months, or 5% back on all restaurants for 3 months.Quote:

I have a Chase Freedom that has rotating 5% rewards, plus 2% on all purchases (if memory serves correctly). It’s blue though, not purple, so nobody’s impressed.
When I’ve been in Europe and used credit cards people seem more confused than anything: You don’t have a PIN number? It says here we need to get your signature?
Doesn't Wells still charge foreign transaction fees?Quote:

I've been getting notices of data breaches almost monthly the last year or two. The most recent ones are from Capital One and a previous mortgage company. Most seem to offer free credit monitoring after it happens or as part of a settlement in the inevitable lawsuit that follows.
I think it can be infinite, you should probably try asking them to stop following you.Quote:

What size are they? Could be habanero maybe?
Initially I guessed habaneros too but they're a little bigger than that. Nowhere near bell pepper size but very similar shape. Maybe a touch more than 2" long.
Not a habanero. Could be a still growing bell pepper? Pick one, take a big bite, then report back.
