Credit cards?

[Rudey]

I'd just like to say that I don't think that's real champagne. I think it's the same awful stuff they give you in the "champagne room" of strip clubs that aren't allowed to serve alcohol.

The Federated company in general is very good to their card holders. I always get coupons, special gift cards, catalogues, special event information, card holder discount days, etc. from Macy's and Bloomingdale's. Those are the only store credit cards I have.
When I worked at Bloomie's, the card holders that spent a lot of money at the store would have a day where the store would be open just for them, they'd have their own personal shoppers and they'd get a glass of champagne when they walked in the doors. Very nice.
The rest of the stores give you 10% off your initial purchase and then that's it. Everytime you use a credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), the store has to pay the credit card company a certain percentage of your purchase which is why many stores won't let you purchase something under $5 on a credit card. That's why companies basically harrass you into applying for their credit cards (coughLimitedCorpcough); you purchase on their credit card and then they don't owe any percentage to the creditors! Why should I help them out unless they're giving me stuff for being a frequent customer? This is the main reason why my only store credit cards are with Federated.
