Sooo this is a warning against being nice and signing up for cards at stores you don't go to because they tend to charge you!
In October I was at the mall and I bought a couple of DVDs at the store FYE and the girl there talked me into signing up for their card. She said it would be free to start and that you could cancel the card within the next few days blah blah blah you get a big discount on today's purchase. I mean the girl wasn't really nice about it, she was kind of pushy in fact but I felt bad. I've been there before, I know how much pressure stores put on you for signing up for their cards and things, so I figured why not. I never shop at FYE, so I'll just cancel it when they send me the email. No problem.
They never sent me an email to cancel it. So I never did. And it recently started charging me $12 a month for this stupid thing. There is no option to cancel it on their website, so I have to call the number on the card to get customer service where I'll probably be on hold most of the day.
Worst thing ever! It's not like I shop there, its not like there are any FYE's in my area, I don't even like FYE. I think it's stupid to pay $12 a month for something you aren't even going to use every month... cause really how many people buy that many DVDS a month that they need to pay $12 to save a lot of money on this? I probably saved about $3 when I signed up for the card and I got chard at least $36 for it! Bullshit!
And I said I don't think the girl waiting on me was all that nice... but she probably didn't know that this would happen. She's not in charge of the company or anything, she just works at the store.
So yeah. Don't be stupid about that! Just say no if you don't want the card. If you think the card will pay for itself, great! Sign up for it! I have an AMC Stubs card, its $12 up front, they don't take out anything extra and I got like $30-$40 in rewards last year, which is pretty awesome. And there are other perks. The perks for the FYE card are not nearly as good and it definitely isn't worth $12 a month. The card says save 10% all day every day... that is not a good deal. You would have to buy a lot of DVDs to save over $144!
I also hate that it doesn't call itself a credit card or anything like that. It calls itself a Rewards Card, so I would think that that's free, and it sounded like it would be every day.
Sooo yeah. Don't be nice, don't be stupid and don't sign up for cards unless you know you're going to use them. It's all a scam. The world is a bad place.
