Good idea, tomorrow's card is here, the problem is that the card retains its magnetic strip on the reverse side, which contributes to phishing, even if the card has a chip

heres a great idea for credit cards- Dont use em!

its just an unimaginable debt. Use a debit card. That way you KNOW you have the money and you KNOW that that money was taken away in that amount at that moment instead of "here were gonna take 500 dollars out when you dont have it! Bye!"

Credit cards are not these evil vile pieces of plastic that everybody makes them out to be. It's the people who can't handle the responsibility of having a credit card that are the problem. If used correctly a credit card can really help with your credit score.

Same as anything else: use responsibly. Or so I hear
