Yeah, but you lose out on credit card rewards, aka free money, going that route.

I’ve used them a couple times where my privacy was worth more, and once where I didn’t want a company having a card to put recurring charges on

Technically it costs money even if their fees are forgettable.


That’s for a very good reason that they don’t allow that.

If it was allowed it would be a wet dream for credit card churning


So have I, but weigh that against the hassle of needing to call and be on hold and so on. Let alone the additional burden of knowing I have to stay on top of checking my statements for fraudulent charges

I’d rather avoid all that by never letting it grow to be a problem


This is why on steam I don’t store my credit card information, nor on basically any other site that I can get away with it.

Yeah it is a pain in the ass for the times I want to buy something, having to put it the card details every single time, but it’s worth my peace of mind if a breach happens. By this point I have memorized my card numbers so it’s not too awful of a pendantic habit now.


You know you’re literally Satan when it’s cheaper to take out a payday loan than to pay Nzxt rental fees because you’d at least own it after paying off the loan.
