im not sure in the state of the economy that applying for yet another credit card is a feasible way to get a discounted CC. Especially since they dont seem to make the obvious connection of what happens when you cancel the card a month later ...

I understand, however even with all that is going on there are plenty of people like myself who don't feel in a pinch and aren't living paycheck to paycheck. Those who can still go out and purchase items on credit card and be able to pay it off at the end of the month

I am debating on getting one but I don't need the distractions just yet
