We don't use credit cards here in Fairytaleland for the merchants don't accept them - and who needs them when we have all the advantages and none of the disadvantages by using "Dankort". Most people have a line of credit with their bank and they will just draw on that if they need to spend more they have on balance in their regular account. That is much cheaper than the interests on a credit card. And who needs a 1 or 2% discount when you pay by CC if the "discount" has been added to the cost to cover the merchant's fee to the CC company? -- Mogens -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
