It's because you pay them off in full each month
that they don't want to give you more. They make money off interest and late payments etc. They know they can milk this fat, useless bitch all day long.

You, they can't.

Welcome to capitalism.

It's so unfair
But you're probably right. A friend of mine never had a credit card because she would save before buying, and she had a lot of trouble to get a mortgage as she had no credit history, despite putting a lot for the first payment. Then, her boyfriend joined the application; he owns tons of money on cards and loans; so they gave them the mortgage straight away.

Yup, I am right. They're out to make money, that's all it is.
My mum has the same problem, pays all her debts off promptly and in full, bank doesn't want to loan her any more money.

this is hardly extreme capitalism
it's common sense. Why on earth should they provide a service to someone who is going to cost them money rather than making them money? They aren't a charity.

I didn't say extreme capitalism
I said "capitalism", because that is what it is.

yeah, granted, but you meant it as a criticism of capitalism, surely?
when there is no other way this could work. It's this way, or no credit cards.

Why surely? People seem to have terrible trouble figuring out when I'm being sarcastic or not.
I must be very subtle in my use of it.

It was just an observation.

that's not what you gasp and pant and moan

EVERY NIGHT.

and some mornings too.
