 Good Book May 2, 2008

Following suggestions, one phone call got a 10% discount. But, since that's not good enough will transfer to competing 0 balance, still lower interest rate cards. Also, some helpful chapters at the back for dealing with disputes, calculating rates, etc.
Book is concise, straightforward and well organized. Good information for anyone with a credit card to know.

My expectations were high as I have had incorrect charges and canceled downloads that Discover will dispute one month and put it back on the next
statement. This was not helpful for me. Kathy
The man has 80 credit cards! October 22, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The man has 80 credit cards! That may seem to be a crazy amount to most people, and it's one at which most financial advisers would shudder, but to do what he wants to do with the industry (save and make money), 80 credit cards--maybe more--are needed.
Scott Bilker has an interesting take on the massive credit card industry: "The banks are at our mercy!" That may seem absurd to those of us who have piled up the average debt of $8,500 or more on a Macy's or Citi Platinum card, but that's his take. He's proven it with over 400 minutes of transcripts of interactions between him or his friends and the credit card companies. There is
Bilker is also quite humorous- his New York mentality shows up in witty comments about the industry: if you're late a couple times, your APR may go up to 29.99% and you could get a better rate in North Jersey with the mafia, he says.
Bilker also touches on Credit Arbitrage, which is a way to turn a money-losing situation into a money-maker. All-in-all, this is a fascinating sociological and economics lesson that is well-recommended.
 A helpful beginning August 31, 2007

I bought this and then returned it. While I think it would be helpful for many people, it was not as focused (in my opinion) for people over their heads.
Wonderful Book August 31, 2006

This book is simply amazing! I had previously used some of the techniques Scott teaches, but other things he tells you to do blew my mind! The things Scott talks about are easy to do AND can save you a TON of money! I would highly recommend the book to anyone with ANY amount of credit card debt, or even if you have NO credit card debt.
