Spending £10k is not what I'd call "doing nothing"

HSBC Premier card is much better thanks!

HSBC will give you 4% on all your 3 months spending will it?

I doubt it ..... so, how is that better?

If your 3 month spending is £10k anyway - then - yes, it IS doing nothing!!

I mean, come on, that's most peoples expense account.

Spending £10,000 is doing "something" though...

I wouldn't get out of bed for £400, let alone have all the hassle of getting a credit card and spending £10k on it.

Come back when you have a scheme to get some real money.

worth doing if you are buying a new car cash, put on card then pay off straight away.

Sainsburys Platinum card seems like a better bet to me - 10 months interest free on purchases, so instead of taking money out your savings to pay it each month you just leave the money in there earning 6% interest (rates on the up too remember) then either transfer after 10 months or pay off

Capital One. I've heard some real horror stories about them like sending the bill out late and charging you for missed payments, not letting you close the account,etc,etc.

Maybe this is why I have money and the rest are just wannabbeess??

Grab every £ is my motto

And spending money you would have spent anyway is hardly 'doing something' No wonder we need immigrants to do the work

Some of you waste ££££££££'s on re-maps and CockLinks - I just thought an easy £400 would enable you to buy some neons to complete the package

On the contrary, just amazed at how predictable you are. I know you only do it to wind people up, but all your posts are on the same subject.

How much you earn, which is a really unattractive trait, a little bit like the Beckhams, boasting about money is just vulgar, as they say, you can't buy class!

How great New Labour are, you trot out the same rubbish but then fail to back up any of your arguments.

Or the classic Cocklink threads, which as you have shown here, you are able to combine with one of your "How much you earn" threads!

Post 34 certainly gives an impression of how much you claim to earn

I cannot believe anyone would be so sad as to go searching and dig up a thread that is over 6 months old Words fail me .......................

Anyway, the poster was indicating that I had combined CockLinks in a thread about my earnings - which is clearly not true!

To actually go and search for a thread which doesn't even fit this thread beggars belief Takes all sorts I guess?

Why this unhealthy obsession with me? I offer you all 4% on your Credit Card spending and you turn it into an attack on me??????

Pete - I enjoy some of the carp that you post. ****, some of it may even have been useful. . However, you ask the question
Where do I say how much I earn
- no mention of cocklinks - and a very quick search for posts made by pslewis using the word "salary" suggests that you've said that if Bill Gates needs a few bob, he just has to give you the nod and you'll see him alright.

Nice and simple. In post 24, you ask a question. In post 25, you have an answer.

as you already know theres abs no benefit at all, your post is simply created to annoy people and create negative debate which you think you can retort to, with your 'witty' responses. And I don't live anywhere near Swindon, which you quite rightly assume to be a sh1thole.
