vladykins @ 20/10/2016 12:22 Grimapple @ 19/10/2016 21:26 I'm gonna buy a tv tomorrow, but it is the best deal I can get for it at the moment and I feel like buying it before the holidays is a better idea than trying to get it during the holidays. The only real benefit to trying to get it then is possibly better no interest financing options, but I know I can pay the tv off in the current financing timeframe (I just have to buy less clothes). I got a credit card with Sony points and use that to get my electronics, because then I feel I can splurge on shit like that. I should get a card like that.

It's a CapitalOne card and I love it. I got it years ago when it was a Citibank card and it got sold to CapitalOne at some point. You earn Sony Points on everything you buy with bonus points for buying certain shit, like any reward card. But I find myself more likely to get electronics as a "reward" than I can convince myself to drop cash on them sometimes.

I've gotten the following in all my years using it:

a 65" flatscreen
two five disc DVD players
a five disc CD player
a component system with surround sound
Playstation 3 (plus extra controllers, games, and Sonystore credits)
Playstation 2 (again, extra controllers and games)
varios movies
alarm clock
digital camera
disc video recorder (back before phones all had decent video cameras)
a bunch of things I'm forgetting

Lots of those things I would have had a harder time convincing myself to get otherwise, but when it is part of a CC reward program, then I don't worry about it as much.

In terms of figuring out the benefit a "sony point" usually equals about a penny of buying power, which doesn't sound like much, but it adds up pretty quickly, especially when they have all the multiple bonus buy shit out there. It's the only card I use outside of the work Amex I have to use on work expenses.

I'm an old man; I've had plenty of time to get lots of that shit.


But yeah, I make decent money too.

I bought a microwave once.... now Ari has it.

And he has the audacity to not post here daily!!

I bought a Black Widow dress from ThinkGeek and it's nice, except I sized up after reviews said the sleeves were super tight, but now the waist is huge on me and I'm not sure I like how it hangs (but the sleeves are comfy).

i'm getting sick of people sleeping on me. I am funny, god dammit.
