Heard a commercial the other day for the Pentagon Credit Union credit card. You get 15 cents per gallon in gas for using it. Must be military, family of military, member of an affiliate group, or make a one-time $15 donation to a specified military charity.

I am seriously considering doing this. 15 cents per gallon would lower my gas expense by about 4.7% and that's the best deal I've seen.

Has anyone used this? Before I go about researching the card, is there any kind of deal breaker you know about up front?




Will Cover has that card fwiw. Not much of a deal breaker. I think you have to send in check stubs they know you actually have a job.

I'm a student w/o a job.

Yeah that's it I believe. 5% on 3ish per gallon is 15 cents per gallon.

RSBR, how much did you end up making on that trade we talked about? Did you get out too early?

Made about 25%. Judging by today's price, I left about 10% on the table.

I don't know. Depends on how the short side of the trade turns out




Kidding.

What are you on now? I haven't played the market in a very long time. Had a great time a couple years ago playing in the market.


You still like SORL or AXT?

Sorry man but I don't talk stocks anymore due to work-related reasons.

I missed my 15,000th post. I was hoping it would be epic. Maybe a M/T babe thread.

Passed here too...although i was freaking out waiting on that email also.

You'd think when they give you that specific of a time that they'd send it out within 10 minutes or so. Not the case but still happy
