Not sure if I mentioned this but our local Firehouse Subs location closed down for a few months a while back because they had a fire in the kitchen. ---

Maybe 12 inch subs or more likely per inch to cause a fire in the kitchen than 8 inch subs, so they have to factor that into the price. ---

Don’t people have delis where they can get sammiches? The only time I ever go to one of the chain places is when it’s like after 6 and all the delis are closed. Even then, I only go to Jersey Mike’s. All the other places are crap. ---

This reminds me of a show Pete E Parisi did back when in STL, I think it was a public access show. It was always pretty entertaining. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d7z7x7Xtwk8/hqdefault.jpg "World Wide Magazine "Stickin' It to McDonald's"") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7z7x7Xtwk8) ---

Yeah, same… I wonder what percentage have $0 of credit card debt that they carry from one billing cycle to the next. I mean, I use credit cards for points but I pay them off every month. I figured I wasn’t the only one on here who does that. Then there’s people at the other end of the spectrum whose credit is so bad they can’t get credit cards. ---

No CC debt other than when we accidentally pay the wrong amount. ---

0% balance transfer cards are your friend. Love them. Spend £10-20k and watch inflation eat that balance while earning points. ---

I’ve taken out 14 credit cards in the last five years. Have to track them in an Excel spreadsheet. Some of them involve $99 annual fees and of course I would get 2% cash back on my normal card but I usually get $500+ of food or airfare. Just finished the last one, another Europe trip in the bank. | 8/27/2018 | U.S. Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card | Earn $150 after purchasing $500, get 5% back on certain categories. | | --- | --- | --- | | 10/15/2018 | Barclays | Make 1 purchase (done) get miles | | 1/2/2019 | AmEx Business | Earn 75K points after spending $3,000 in 3 months | | 7/20/2019 | Citi Thank You | Earn 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in 3 months | | 9/12/2019 | AmEx Delta Gold | | | 8/13/2020 | Citi Aadvantage | 50,000 miles after $2,500 of purchases in 3 months | | 12/22/2020 | Chase Sapphire Reserve | 4,000 | | 7/6/2021 | Barclays Choice | Earn 75K points after spending $3,000 in 6 months | | 8/10/2021 | AmEx Delta Gold | Earn 70K points after spending $2,000 in 3 months | | 12/21/2021 | United Chase Credit Card | Earn 60K points after spending $3,000 in 3 months | | 3/5/2022 | US Bank Altitude Connect | Earn 50K points after spending $2,000 in 4 months | | 5/16/2022 | Barclays Aadvantage Aviator Business | Earn 80K points after spending $2,000 in 3 months | | 4/11/2022 | US Bank Altitude Connect | Earn 50K points after spending $2,000 in 4 months | | 4/28/2023 | Citi Aadvantage | Earn 75K miles after $3,500 of purchases in 4 months | [Previous page](https://community.goactuary.com/t/innumeracy/1153.md?page=29) [Next page](https://community.goactuary.com/t/innumeracy/1153.md?page=31)
