- I have that care. I only use it for its 5% categories. (I don't like to give chase my money.) - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Feb 17, 06:37 6
  - We have it as well but really only because we've had a version of the card forever and I don't want to close it for credit score purposes. - spamlet Feb 17, 06:57
  - there was a huge promotion in December with initial outlay. I'm surprised how fast the 1% and 5% add up. - Epiphany Feb 17, 06:54 3
    - Soon you'll have six cards and know what categories to use with each. :) - spamlet Feb 17, 06:56 2
      - speaking of: I'm thinking of flipping my thank you to a double cash at the end of promo. thank you isn't really doing much for me. -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Feb 17, 07:08 1
        
        I don't have any citi cards, but if I had one, it'd be the Double Cash. - spamlet Feb 17, 07:17
  - Yeah, no kidding. Way to start out. -- nm - droidlet Feb 17, 06:48
- When I was traveling to Europe semi-regularly for word, it cost around $1.50 US to buy 1 Euro. It now costs $1.14 US. -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 06:27 11
  - Yeah, we went to Ireland a year early. -- nm - droidlet Feb 17, 06:44
  - So, no. :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 17, 06:28 9
    - (yes, it costs less american money to buy the same amount of Euros) -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 06:29 8
      - Compared to last year but we still lose money. - Krusty Feb 17, 06:34 5
        
        The actual number is kind of arbitrary, it's the relative movements. - Reagen Feb 17, 06:43 3
        
        I'll just say I don't understand this enough and leave it alone. - Krusty Feb 17, 06:48 2
        
        Currency fluctuates a lot more than the prices of things do. Also, there's the likelihood that the euro will go back up, giving incentive to - con_carne Feb 17, 07:05
        
        1 euro may be more money than $1, but a $1 item isn't necessarily 1 euro. - Reagen Feb 17, 06:57
        
        that's apples to oranges though. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 06:41
      - And in fact, I think my memory is being too kind to the drop in the Euro. I think it may have been more like 1.66 than 1.50. - ty97 Feb 17, 06:33 1
        
        it was 1.60 for a time when I was at zabber harries -- nm - sweet cheesarella barbacorn Feb 17, 06:36
Because you have to buy your plane ticket in dollars? - Krusty Feb 17, 06:17
