Credit Cards
Where cant you get credit now days
Seems like the worlds leaders in products and services have gone credit card mad, as if having captured the market with there products wasn’t good enough. Basically they are one step away from printing there own cash. I must say that they all look very attractive with there introductory offers.
I was shopping around for a credit card the other day, im in serious need of a 0% balance transfer, when I came across the Starbucks credit card. Of course I was very surprised and intrigued, what the hell is my favourite coffee shop doing offering a credit service, a very intriguing service I might add. This got me thinking how may other companies out there are offering a credit card service, and more impotently the ones you would not expect to be offering this service.
