There was a woman whose credit card got declined when she was paying for a 2000 PHP-ish bag at Debenhams at the Shangri-La this afternoon. It got really annoying because she was just going off on a tirade as to how she has got this long standing battle with MasterCard and how she pulled out all her investmens with BPI because of that battle of hers with them and included HSBC in her wrath by saying they're useless.
Obviously it's difficult to ignore an overgrown woman curse in a place that could be considered quite high end (at least here in the Philippines) so I can't help but overhear some details about her aggravation. In the middle of the "I'll sue them bastards" sound off's, I kind of heard that she just paid her credit card that morning? So I thought, well there you go. That wouldn't apply until next wek. Can't help but think don't go shopping until you know how much available credit you have - and if you have available cash.
