Thread: SEARS IS INSANE!!!

EFFECTIVE 08/01/2003 SEARS WILL NOT ACCEPT IN-STORE CASH PAYMENTS ON YOUR CREDIT ACCOUNTS OF MORE THAN $2,500 DURING ANY BILLING CYCLE. OTHER PAYMENT FORMS (E.G. PERSONAL CHECK) ARE NOT AFFECTED.

THIS IS PART OF THAT 9-11 GARBAGE!!!

MONEYGRAM AT WORK HAS SOME GARBAGE ABOUT LIMITS TOO WITH PAYING BILLS AND MONEY ORDERS AND PAYING FOR GIFT CARDS WITH CASH!!!

I'M GONNA MAX MY $5,300 SEARS STORE CARD AND TEST IT!!!!!!

WHAT ARE THEY GONNA' DO CALL THE POLICE???

In your case, I highly doubt it would be the police who would be called to deal with the situation....

THEY WILL HAVE TO TAKE CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS LIKE DIRECTV, COMCAST, QWEST...I CHARGE ON MY VISA/MC/AMEX/DISCOVERCARD FOR THE CHARGES...

...OR YOU WILL HAVE TO DO A BT!!!

...or just get a checking account...

GEORGE,

Unless you introduce additional evidence of insanity, I have to conclude that it sounds reasonable to me. Most people use checks for payments over $2,500.

As you yourself pointed out, you use a credit card to pay many of your monthly bills. If you, GEORGE, had held out and paid cash for all those bills, and paid your Sears bill in cash every month as well, then Sears would have noticed and kept accepting large amounts of cash. But without you, GEORGE, it just isn't profitable for Sears to accept large amounts of cash.

It may be too late to test the new policy, because you didn't avail yourself of the old policy while you still could.

I PAY ON-LINE!!!

I was just saying it WAS JUST A STUPID IDEA BECAUSE OF THE 9-11 GARBAGE!!!

I DO NOT USE MUCH CASH...SO I COULD CARE LESS...
BECAUSE OF THE 9-11 GARBAGE AND ALL THE "CASH" RESTRICTIONS...WE ARE MOVING TO A "CASH-LESS" SOCIETY!!!

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT...

Correction:

If you had spent $2500 each month at Sears and then paid in full in cash each month, they would definitely have retained the old policy for you.

I get the impression that you do pay in cash, but not in sufficiently large amounts to keep Sears in a state of collective sanity.

MANY PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF A CASH-LESS SOCIETY

IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH 666 AND THE "MARK OF THE BEAST"

Further correction:

You don't pay in cash after all. You pay online. So it makes no difference to you. So Sears is insane.

You don't use cash to pay your bills. Therefore someone else is moving us towards a cashless society.
