Cruise Ships & Credit Cards. Not Seaworthy

they are called ; Affinity Cards. You have probably received e-mails telling you how you can earn points towards your vacation on your favourite cruise line. I got one this morning from Norwegian. Wink

Just for $hitz & Giggles, I decided to look at the rates. Surprised O. M. G !!!!!!

First of all, the opening rate is determined by your credit worthiness. Anywhere from 12.99%-22.99% !!!!!!!!! If you are late, it can shoot up to ( sit down for this )......29.99% !!

AngryAngryAngry 30% interest if you're late. That means, if you buy $100 worth of t-shirts on the ship, it will actually be $130 on your statement !!!!!!!!

People, avoid these offers. Tempting as they are, they aren't worth it. Forget about those bonus points. If you do use a credit card, shop around for a better rate. Like, maybe from the guy in that back alley. He'll only break your arm. Once.

Wow, Sounds like the Jewelry Store on NCL. No interest if you pay within three months.

But you can't pay on line....must go snail mail.... then if you are late. the interest charge for the whole purchase gets added in one shot.. Great deal at the time, but Snail Mail take sometimes ten to twelve days to process.
