why do people assume, using a credit card puts you in debt?

guys, who said i was borrowing money to pay for gold? i pay the balance in full by direct debit

do these babys include postage in the price?...

hi chris, i understand the fees and risks of chargebacks etc, but this is a cost of buisness, all these risks should be understood and form part of the buisness. you say most dealers dont take credit cards, but i dont belive that to be the case, i cant find one the big dealers (that appear on the compare pages) that do not take credit cards) and some items are cheaper then the dealer in question, but they still take credit cards. one thing i do agree with chards on, is that postage is not "free" it would be much better if these dealers stated "prices includes postage" for example (for them dealers that use the term "free postage" all this boils down too is been a smart shopper and saving money, especially in these harder times, all that bothers me is the price of a item, should it be gold or a item off amazon, i will buy from the cheapest seller, and also gain my 1% cashback on top of that haha.

one of my banks (before the plandemic) would not let me use the counters to deposit cash, they forced me to use a self service machine.

i will say, im gaining more knowledge here on this amazing sight, not to mention the nice offers that appear in the for sale section, i will gladly be paying the membership fee to support this amazing community, which untill a few days ago, i never knew existed.

and his credit file would also take a hit lol

they would loose money on that sale, but on the grand scheme of things, the fees are added into all other products, so they aint loosing money, its a "cost of doing buisness" i use contactless to pay for a loaf of bread or a pint of milk, as do millions of other people, but i agree with you in the sense that it is crazy that we are able to buy a pint of milk with a contactless credit card, and its what the powers that be want, as the keep pushing the cashless society on us.

i have since visited many other websites, that all have amazing guides, provided for free, who accept credit cards, hence my 2k spend with competitors, as i have said before, a business is NOT your friend, they are not your cuddly pet dog or cat, they exist to take your money and make a profit.

have to say, they are a work of art

bought one of these bars, as per our pms, thank you for selling me my very first silver.

the 5% card i had was from a new company in the credit card field, they clearly offered 5% as a marketing tool and promotion to get people to sign up, i has this card for a year before they closed the deal down, not sure if they are still around, like i say ive had the 1% cash back card for 10 years at the least, my Barclaycard .5% card for at least 5 years

hi. ill take one, to get my first feedback lol, will pay via bt.

they are using it as a incentive to use the card, see it as a promotional tool, the credit card company are the ones taking the hit on their bottom line. they are clearly making enough money to keep this offer in place, one of my Barclaycards offers 0.5% cashback

hi chris thanks for your response, it may help to know that i have always wanted to dip my hand in gold, and hold some physical stock of it, i found you through google, and spent days reading the amazing guides on your website and looking through your items, building up some knowledge on gold buying, from spot price to learning that sovs )for stacking at a cheap gold price) was probably the best way to go, im sure you can understand, after spending days on your website to finaly wanting to buy some gold from you, how frustrating and annoying it was to find out you dont take credit cards, that was the most annoying thing about it.

how is it make belive, and they have been substaining this 1% cash back to me, for around 10 years now, im putting at least 1k a month through this card, others could be putting 5k or 10k a month through their card, i also remember having a 5% cash back credit card at one point.

hi guys. thanks for the replys first of all that is just my opinion, i am not trying to insult a business, however i learnt many years ago a business is NOT your friend, i learnt this lesson with amd, intel and nvidia for example. as stated, i prefer to use 1 of my credit cards for the reason stated, 56 pays to pay off the balance, nut more importantly i get 1% cashback, which soon adds up over the year, if i order pepsi or gold at the end of the year this cash back is a decent amount, in another way, it reduces everything i buy by 1% lets look at this for a example: Best Value Sovereign Gold Bullion Coin: Atkinsons Bullion and Coins £380.93 - delivered Chards Coin and Bullion Dealer £382.87 - delivered using my cashback card these prices fall to £377.12 and £379.04 respectively, i would PREFER to use chards (even at the slightly more expensive price, as they are most local dealer to me and i always prefer to use local business if possible, if atkinsons can do this price while taking a hit on credit card fees, why cant chards, from what i can see it is only chards that do not accept credit cards out of all the online gold dealers in the uk. another things "online" is the key word here, these company's are selling online, i dont think im aware of any uk online retailer who refuses to accept credit cards, its all very strange to me. so rant over, all im saying is, i get 1% back when using my card, also i can buy gold or a bottle of pepsi, using this credit card and i have up to 56 days to pay for these items, hope this helps.

chards, you clearly do not want me as your customer, nor want to deal with me. i have spent £2k at your competitors, all willing to accept my plastic. one of my credit cards give me 1% cash back (getting me back £20 on my 2k spend) this card also gives me up to 56 days to pay for my purchase. i understand you have to pay fees to take credit cards, but this is simply a cost of doing buisness, maybe in time you will responder your position, as i will not deal with any business that does not want me as a customer based on what payment option i choose to use.
