06:35 IsambardPrince; > Essentially the rewards systems benefit the credit card banks or they wouldn't do it. They encourage customers to spend like mad on their cards, spend too much, owe the bank interest, or at least make the merchants owe all these fees. Then prices go up at merchants to fund credit card rewards for people who can get them, and people who have to pay cash because they're broke and living on the fringes of society lose money to fund

06:35 IsambardPrince; >

06:35 IsambardPrince; > "Abstract:

06:35 IsambardPrince; > We study credit card rewards as an ideal laboratory to quantify redistribution between consumers in retail financial markets. Comparing cards with and without rewards, we find that, regardless of income, sophisticated individuals profit from reward credit cards at the expense of naive consumers.

06:35 IsambardPrince; >

06:35 IsambardPrince; > To probe the underlying mechanisms, we exploit bank-initiated account limit increases at the card level and show that reward cards induce more spending, leaving naive consumers with higher unpaid balances.

06:35 IsambardPrince; >

06:35 IsambardPrince; > Naive consumers also follow a sub-optimal balance-matching heuristic when repaying their credit cards, incurring higher costs.

06:35 IsambardPrince; >

06:35 IsambardPrince; > Banks incentivize the use of reward cards by offering lower interest rates than on comparable cards without rewards. We estimate an aggregate annual redistribution of $15 billion from less to more educated, poorer to richer, and high to low minority areas, widening existing disparities."

06:35 IsambardPrince; >

06:35 IsambardPrince; > In other words, they drive people to spend more than they should, chasing itty bitty teeny weensy little airline miles, and then they pay outrageously high interest, and if they do pay it off most of them don't pay off their cards in the ideal order (debt avalanche, highest to lowest interest), and it sends $15 billion dollars a year from the poor to the rich, the less educated to the more educated, and from racial minorities to

06:35 IsambardPrince; Whites, "widening existing disparities".

06:35 IsambardPrince; > Why is it even legal? Well, frankly it shouldn't be, but banks have a lot of lawyers and lobbyists and poor Black and Brown people don't, and neither do poor people.

06:35 IsambardPrince; >

06:35 IsambardPrince; > So who pays for this? The people struggling with credit card debts, people who can't get rewards credit cards because they're poor and have bad credit, and people who are too "unsophisticated" to figure out how to manage reward categories.

06:35 IsambardPrince; >

06:35 IsambardPrince; > It's pretty much utterly despicable that this goes on. It's not fair. And here you have the Federal Reserve reporting that Dave Ramsey is right, all except that Ramsey promotes debt snowball if you're in credit card debt, saying that paying off debts from smallest to biggest while minimum payments go in on everything else then re-allocating the money from the smaller ones to bigger ones until it's all paid off is better.

06:35 IsambardPrince; >

06:35 IsambardPrince; > Ramsey concludes that the savings from debt avalanche is not worth the dismal "20%" success rate, compared with "80%" for snowball, and he concludes that it's better to pay the extra interest because it won't be much different either way and most people are not math nerds.

07:52 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: Dave Ramsey's advice to just use a debit card or cash....

07:52 IsambardPrince; Well, it does simplify your wallet.

07:52 IsambardPrince; You can earn 1% back with a debit card. If you just want the rewards points you should not keep many credit cards around. Just enough to generate a score.

07:52 IsambardPrince; Not enough that you can get into some seriously deep shit.

09:33 ciphrCat; IsambardPrince: im surprised you support Trump, considering this comment Why is it even legal? Well, frankly it shouldn't be, but banks have a lot of lawyers and lobbyists and poor Black and Brown people don't, and neither do poor people. Trump neutered the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Banks support republicans for that reason, because republicans will not control banks.

09:34 ciphrCat; you say rewards range from 0.53%, but its worth noting that rewards often in 5% in categories where credit card use makes less sense.

09:36 ciphrCat; That is, you can often get a 5% rebate when buying groceries, gasoline, or dining out. Those kinds of purchases do not benefit from the credit cards extended warranty and often dont benefit from helping consumers keep purchase records.

09:37 ciphrCat; So my theory is that they increase the rebate even more to incentivize credit card use that makes less sense.

09:37 ciphrCat; they want to get people in the habit of using credit cards for /everything/

09:43 IsambardPrince; I do not support Trump.

09:43 IsambardPrince; [03:34] <ciphrCat> you say rewards range from 0.53%, but its worth noting that rewards often in 5% in categories where credit card use makes less sense.

09:43 IsambardPrince; Yes, some of my cards are 5-6% on grocery.

09:44 IsambardPrince; But 6% only up to $6,000 and there's an annual fee on that of $95.

09:44 IsambardPrince; But it's an AmEx so there's also a lot of offers throughout the year on things like car insurance, phones, utilities.

09:44 IsambardPrince; So if you do it right, those credits will take out the annual fee all by themselves and then the 6% on the groceries is all yours.

09:45 IsambardPrince; But most people don't do this.

09:45 IsambardPrince; [03:36] <ciphrCat> That is, you can often get a 5% rebate when buying groceries, gasoline, or dining out. Those kinds of purchases do not benefit from the credit cards extended warranty and often dont benefit from helping consumers keep purchase records.

09:45 IsambardPrince; The AmEx has return protection.

09:45 IsambardPrince; If the retailer won't take it back, AmEx will buy it back from you including shipping to AmEx.

09:46 IsambardPrince; The Discovers have 5% rotating.

09:46 IsambardPrince; I hope next quarter is Google Wallet again.

09:47 IsambardPrince; ciphrCat: I get my prescriptions at the supermarket (6%).

09:47 IsambardPrince; When Discover has Google Wallet I go to the supermarket customer service while I'm getting prescriptions or something and pay my electric bill by account number.

09:47 IsambardPrince; They let you tap to pay the electric company there.

09:48 IsambardPrince; Technically you can go get gift cards at the supermarket and get 6% on the gift cards.

09:48 IsambardPrince; ciphrCat: So if you have a Discover quarter and want gift cards, or to eat up some of your AmEx cap, you can buy gift cards at the supermarket.

09:49 IsambardPrince; Then you're getting 6% at restaurants or Walmart or something.

09:49 IsambardPrince; So AmEx does not code Walmart as Grocery.

09:49 IsambardPrince; But they code the grocery store that sells Walmart gift cards as Grocery.

09:49 IsambardPrince; So you can get 6% on Walmart gift cards and then load them into your Walmart account and use that to shop at Walmart.

09:50 IsambardPrince; Or you can finish off a Discover quarter with Walmart in it at 5% that way.

09:50 IsambardPrince; Just buy Walmart gift cards at Walmart and use them after the quarter ends.

09:51 IsambardPrince; If you're doing it right you can get 5 or 6% back in most places just using Discover and AmEx.

09:52 IsambardPrince; I use the Discover quarters with Google Pay to take my cats to the vet for their checkups.

10 AM, August 1

10:02 ciphrCat; i will not use AmEx because they are an ALEC member (which means they work against workers rights, womens rights, environmental protection, gun control, they support climate denial).

10:03 ciphrCat; Discover is the lesser of evils

11:54 IsambardPrince; Seems pretty typical.

11:54 IsambardPrince; Like Comcast.

noon, August 1

12:06 IsambardPrince; ciphrCat: But AmEx has lost some merchants, including Costco and ebay.

12:07 IsambardPrince; It's not to the point where many people would really care about the acceptance rate, but it isn't accepted everywhere.

12:07 IsambardPrince; Their swipe fees are high.

12:07 *IsambardPrince has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

12:09 ciphrCat; All banks give disproportionately more to republicans in excess of 10 points like that. AmEx is exceptionally harmful because of its ALEC membership which supports a collection of anti-human movements.
