Just Got a Credit Card!

[Peaceblossom]

So yeah, like the title says, I just got a credit card. I'm not sure what I should do with it first but I'm thinking of getting something online to break it in. I was thinking about ThinkGeek, or perhaps a something awful account, but I really don't know.

Any suggestions? I just recently bought stuff from the NG store with some store credit so I'm not going to get anything else immediately. I'm also going to go ahead and say I refuse to spend more than $30.

Link some cool shit to buy, or give me suggestions.

don't spend !!!!!!! don't spend!!!!!!!!! it is terrible to spend what you don't have... unless you are getting all your NG friends stuff...
hay friend :)

Cut it up and stick with a debit card. Credit cards are nothing but trouble.

Buy some shit from Newgrounds.

Plenty of cash in my savings, I have a job, and as an 18 year old, I need to build my credit rating. I don't see any better way than by buying stupid shit online and paying it off right away.

You should look for some offers on Steam or Xbox Live if you have either of those. See what's on sale. There are some good buys if you know how to shop.

P.S. How did you get store credit?

Just be careful. While saying "Nothing over $30" is a good rule to have for a credit card, it would be pointless if you ended up buying like $30's worth of stuff in over like 20 places. Just be careful and make note of exactly how much you've spent as you use it so your monthly bill won't be a shock to you.

Also yeah buy stuff from thinkgeek, I fucking adore that place, bought a shitload myself :D

By something cheap but buy it from someplace classy! Some credit card companies boost your score for buying at nice places.

... I wonder what my credit score is these days...

I don't really do much in the way of gaming anymore, otherwise I'd be all over some Steam games.
