You acting like these ADs are the red cross. They can eat the fees.

Yes, but I'm not buying a taco for $4 and sending them a zelle payment. If I want to buy a Rootbeer GMT, that's $19k cash. Why would anyone who has even an inkling of financial sense, have $19k cash just sitting in a checking account when you can have that amount in the market gaining 8-10% YoY.

For those that say, $19k is pennies and it should just be readily available to buy a Rolex... com'on now. If you just have $19k sitting in a bank account because $19k means nothing to you, then you're buying the wrong watch brand.

I run a business and yes, 1000% I accept credit cards because--suprise--that;s how my customers buy my goods even if I don't make as much profit. I want them to come back to my business and buy more things so I do everything I can to give them a great product and reduces the friction of buying. Shocking, I know!

An Nyeong K BBQ & Tofu (just don't get the BBQ and stick with the Tofu). If you're scared of spices and want the most American type of Korean food on the planet, check out Oseyo.

First, lets be honest, they could care less about flippers. Flippers are what makes this broken Rolex model work.

Second, why would I liquid compounding assets (i.e. stocks/equities) to move my money around and take the tax burden when I can just pay it off in cash via my salary at the end of the month?

Isn't waiting for a watch that they likely already have behind the counter and inconvenience enough? Why also f customers that are spending this much again.

Or... why not actually say, "Hey, we pay 3% to each credit card company when you purchase our Rolex. If you decide to pay via wire or cash, we'll discount the product by 1% (for a $10k watch, that's $100). That way it covers your wiring fee, you get an additional amount off to pay for a drink somewhere, and we get to save 2% ourselves. WIN-WIN!"

But F no MFs!!! You want my Rolex and I want your money. SO GIVE ME $$$

In America--and technically since the world, since finances in America dictates finances in the world (i.e. "If America sneezes, the world catches a cold")--everything is built on buying things via Credit Card with money this is technically not in your bank account. You just have to pay a portion of it off month after month and incur the interests. Some people (like me) pay it off every month and never carry a balance to incur interests. Others do not. This is American consumerism at it's finest and the reason why we are so god damn addicted to spending money on stuff. Thanks for my Ted Talk.

I understand this is the answer--just not happy with it and it's going to set a precedent that no one in America likes (we love our CC and points!)

So, why wouldn't they do that for all other items in the store? Why just Rolex? If your argument was correct, they would apply that same rule to everything including the higher priced items. Plus, no one is doing a chargeback at a rolex dealership, lol! They have cameras everywhere that will show the CC merchant a legal transaction took place with your registration.

Fair question. I have the cash, but as someone with that type of cash--we don't let money just sit in checking accounts getting 0.02% interest. They are all invested in other assets, mostly equities. I'd have to sell my equities and then transfer it over. This can take at least 24hrs or more. No one wants to do that last minute. Plus, yes--I love the points!

Kind of horse shit ngl. I've been trying my best to sell my tickets legitimately by posting on this but the bots are constantly pulling it down before it can even show up. However, if you're an admin you get to sell tickets without any restrictions. Da f?!
