National Citi cancels NRA cards

[MilitantBEEMER]

You must do alot of driving?

I consider my debit card cash as well. Makes online orders possible, especially when dealing with far away vendors. That being said I prefer actual cash whenever possible

Cash poor can still be you sitting on a stack. Its just in relation to your normal reserves.

If normal reserves are 20k and you have to drop 15k, 5k is cash poor for you.

If you have $1500 and you pay out $1200, it's still cash poor just a different relationship.

I didn't intend to sum your personal situation but a more a general statement .

Absolutely. I prefer to have an emergency fund of 6+ months of all expenses and only take from if an actual emergency. We then promptly replace the emergency expenditure ASAP. (We have had very few actual emergencies that require tapping the emergency fund). Otherwise we just save additional for purchases large or small.

Funny thing is my wife and I were very close to getting the Costco Citi card since we spend so much money with them. Then Citi made this announcement and we changed our mind.

I just got one a few months ago. I tried ordering some magazines from botach a few weeks ago and they never sent them even tho order was confirmed and shipping label created. Used a different card once I saw my order was canceled and it went through and is almost here. If citi was really the ones who cancelled my order no amount of cash back is worth having that card... I used it when I first got it for lots of ammo so the change must have just kicked in

Over my cold hard cash!

been using a card for about a grand a month and pay off before due---no profit for Wells Fargo. Being weird, I stopped shopping at brick and mortar except for perishables since they outlawed plastic bags and charge for paper. I will not do business with that kind of people. Prime is free shipping and they don't charge for the boxes. No time wasted looking for stuff that they don't have in stock, no crowds of Walmart people and other advantages.

Cash is just a piece of paper, back by $20 trillion worth of IOUs.

Cash is freedom, without it you have no freedom.

Remember that? Last night there was a report out the same people that are pushing for us to go cashless are asking the credit card companies to not allow you to purchase guns or ammo with a credit card. Think about that a bit as you don't use cash anymore and how the card companies will run your life as this comes about.

How will you buy if you want some ammo and as you get old how will you sell? Citi has gone anti NRA so how long before they tell you that no guns or ammo can be bought on their cards?

Report was on Tucker Carlson last night.

At the point the US goes "cashless" we will see looting as an acceptable form of "withdrawal" against these corporations.
That and trade and barter will be more prevalent, at least to folks like me who don't mind owning "second hand" goods.

I googled and could not find any news reports of Citi cancelling NRA cards. Lots of other bad stuff about Citi and gun sales but not this. Anyone got a source?

Joe posted the original story..

Citigroup Acted. Now, Two New Ideas on How Banks Can Limit Gun Sales.

But much more has been added, I won't hunt it all down for you.

Those are the same articles I found, nothing in there about Citi cancelling NRA Credit cards. As far as I can tell, NRA Credit cards are funded by the First National Bank of Omaha which is a division of First National Bank of Nebraska and has no affiliation with Citi.

The CC corps do not control my funds. I cancelled my Citi card, but I still have a Chase card and CU debit/Visa card.

Now if Visa itself came out with policies like this, which I doubt they will, then that would put a crimp in my style, but there are quite a few gun oriented retailers who will take other forms of payment - I just prefer my CCs because of the protection they offer. I never hold a balance on them - always pay them off.

Beyond that, I have not bought a gun with a CC in years. Have almost always paid cash.

I'm looking at the thread title and reading these stories and they don't match up. I understand citi sucks and are no good for gun owners but since they don't fund NRA cards, they aren't cancelling them.

Good luck talking sense to this crowd

No, but First National of Omaha also cancelled their deal with the NRA:
First National Bank of Omaha ends relationship with NRA

That doesn't mean your NRA card will stop working, but they will stop issuing new ones once their current contract with the NRA expires.
