She asked if I shopped on the internet a lot and I was like yeah sometimes, apparently credit cards are safer to use online with things like money fraud and that. I normally use Paypal checkout anyway so... :dontknow:

She is right, it is safer to buy online with a credit card, but that is not why she was offering you one :p:

She wanted you to get one so you go into debt and pay them a tonne of moneys, she also probably gets commission for each person that signs up to a credit card. Thus, from this analogy, stick with debit cards :woo:

Yeah, a credit card is basically you borrowing money (credit) from the bank then paying it back at the end of the money.

Group work is the worst thing, I have a deadline for tomorrow and the group just aren't doing the work at all.

Am OK, little hung over :teeth:

Could do with my bed too haha

It's like driving insurance, if you have a credit card, but never use it, it improves your credit rating. Kinda silly, but that's the way it works. It's just the correlation between people who pay back their debts and people who can own a credit card without spending on it.

Advice needed fellas.

I am in a group coursework and today we met to begin the work. I meet one guy in my group whom I have never met or spoken to before. He tells me that due to my time away (am away with TA) he can't work in a group with me. So I speak with the lecturer to grants a group extension due to my time away. This means we have an extra week whilst am away, benefiting the group. However, this guy still says he doesn't want to work with me; "it's not personal'. He emailed me this instead of telling me in class. So now our options are split into a group of two and one person does it alone or work together in the original group. I am very annoyed as this guy has known about the group for at least a month.
