Cat's out of the bag..I have a credit card.. Why do I have one? Because the bank gave me one with my housing loan for free with no yearly fee.. So Since there is no yearly fee and no monthly fee and I don't use it, I don't bother reading my statements when they get delivered to my email.So..Fast Forward to today. Bank phones me and asks to confirm my credit card is in my possession. I said 'Yep' checked wallet 'Noooo'..Rewind to 4th of January. I had my visa debit out of my wallet signing up the new card to paypal. Left it on the computer. Used the credit card for the first time ever at a coffee shop. That's the last time I ever saw it.As of today I have wracked up nearly $1000 in purchases for various games on the Google Play Store. On the plus side these definitely weren't done with my google account (Otherwise I wouldn't be begging people for Silver in Game of War).Cards been disabled. I'm gonna go back to a credit card free existence me thinks..Edit: Should add bank is treating it as fraud. I will get the money back..

But if this had of been direct debit or anything I could be a long time without the money.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All stock bar the k&n panel filter Silver Donating Members 8,061 Member For: 12y 10m 21d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 12/01/16 05:40 AM Share Posted 12/01/16 05:40 AM I have a credit card for the frequent flyers Brendo. Pay the balance off every payday so I don't pay interest. Got nearly 200,000 points now, so nearly enough for a nice return business class international flight somewhere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've cycled through a few different cards collecting up the introductory bonus point offers My bank has a daily transaction account that I earn 12 points per month per $100 balance...If I were to have a bunch of savings in there the points would be worth more to me for business class flights than what I'd earn from the interest of it being in a savings account, once you factor in the tax I'd have to pay on the instead earned.
