: Is it true that if I use my credit card at fast food places, my credit score will decrease or that it will affect my score in some way because it looks like I cannot afford to buy food? I pay my bill in full every month. — Burger and Fries Lover
Why the heck would anyone use a credit card for that?
Fast food places started accepting debit cards and also credit cards because people buy on cards because why....the card does not feel like hard cold cash and it is easy to rack it up. If you truly want to save do not deny yourself, simply carry cash and only pay cash and you will see that you start to deny yourself and its a good thing.
Some folks don't like to carry cash and bother with coins.
Others on expense account find it easier to submit claims electronically that way.
I think that’s the point. People who are using credit cards to pay for $5 meals are, statistically speaking, bad news in the credit department.
i use it for everything for the points... they all add up
