  • It's better to apply for the credit card and make them send you a card and then never use it. That'll keep their computers busy for a while. I have been juggling credit cards to justify keeping balances on many and it's hurting my FICO score. So, I'm cutting down to four. One Discover, one American Express, one VISA, and one MasterCard. I'm thinking the ConocoPhillips MasterCard as I'm a ConocoPhilips stockholder. If FICO says to cut down to three, out goes the VISA or Discover (reluctantly).

  • @sneakers55 I am looking to get a credit card for a paypal account, so I can get money for art work that I am selling online. If I apply for a credit card, never use it, and transfer the profit to my debit card...Would it work out well? or would they give me some notice or somthing that I am not familiar with that may cause me to make a bad decision...

  • I've done this 3 times now.

  • Lady Xeona set me here :D

  • thumbs up if lady sent you here

  • hehe nice one

  • but shay, how are we suppose to buy your shirts or shoes if you tell us not to have a credit card???

  • @NiteSky64 that's where debit cards come in! :)

  • @NiteSky64 use a debit card

  • i did this and i got an abusive phone call lol

  • I KNEW FROM THE START THAT HE WAS GOING TO RIP THAT CREDIT CARD OFFER UP! :D

  • @soulinnumber It's a mix between profiling and common sense.

  • lol i did that and they sent me TWICE as many creadit card applications!

  • @peaceloveagdolls1 Maybe you shouldn't have written your address on it.

  • @HelkernVuur  ya ur write. ill just keep on sending them back then

  • OMG GENIUS !!!!!!!!!!! Ur my hero Shay !

  • so is that your actual P O Box? :]

  • this is the mystery video?

  • Hey Shay I work for Mastercard and would like to sponsor you.

  • shay, i will never get a credit card because of you! :) DEBIT CARDS FTW! lol :3

  • So let me get this straight. You pay for everything in cash only??

  • @Adisayam1989 He uses debit cards and cash.

  • @Adisayam1989 Yea who doesnt, credit cards are bad man.

  • @warfreak1111 I agree, but it isn't easy to live without them

  • @Adisayam1989 Yea but if u have one ull pay for in the future and that's how people like u go in debt

  • @warfreak1111 Thanks, for the advice. I do NOT have a credit card and never will. Debt is not worth it

  • 1:58 to 2:01 is the scariest moment of my life.

  • haha woah! love it! YEAH!

  • everything is an I l l u s i o n

    your cash/money is just a hypothetical number on a computer, somewhere

  • thumbs up if you gonna do the same exact thing =)!!!!!!!

  • 1:47 reminded me of a magician.. LOL

  • Comment removed

  • you are my hero

  • awesome way to apply, i gotta do this next time i get one of those

  • lol that was epic...and i love how princesstard was going along with it all...great job shay!! you always have the most entertaining ways of teaching people things!!!

  • Credit cards are bad! I only got one so I could raise my credit score... and I paid it off and put it away. That's how it's done.

  • Yay! I love how you applied for a credit card! I haven't had any credit cards for about 6 years. I live within my means. It is very freeing!

  • i love this <3

  • I love you Shay (no homo) this is awesome, they'll open it and be like ' I ain't sending him nothin no more' I HAVE to favorite this

  • @CornRowingAround Did you seriously just say 'no homo'? Excuse me while I FACEPALM.

  • AWESOME!!

  • I'm so doing this.

  • Hey Shay, i got a credit card applycation today, and i did just like you xD

    Gona send it tomorrow befor i go to work

  • Credit Cards are not evil, it's only if you spend money you don't have they become evil. I use a credit card for everything, but pay off my balance every month. It's the people who don't do this and use them to spend money they don't have that cause problems.

  • i'm gonna get a lot of hate for this..but credits cards are not so bad ONLY IF you use them wisely. we live in a credit-based society and credit cards are a great way to build credit. i understand that in your case, you recently got out of debt and have no intention of getting a credit card, and i fully respect that. but what if your kids grow up to be successful (which i have no doubt about)? they will most certainly need to build their credit at the rate society keeps emphasizing credit scores

  • @samkyupsal "credit cards are a scam for the middle class"

  • Following your tutorial, I've finally applied for my credit card.. yay !

  • do u ever get the feeling when u manage to charge the credit card finally that u screwed some one?

  • ppl just need to be smart with cc's. I have 1 credit card that I use all the time but I pay the balance at the end og the month. I've had it for 3 years and not once have I paid a penny in interest to them. I rack up credit card points and earn money back, they are actually paying ME to use their card lol

    ppl need to learn to be responsible with money and not blame credit cards for being evil. JUST BE SMART!!

  • That was awesome!

  • Started Dave Ramsays Financial Peace University tonight....tips for me Shay??

  • best how-to video ever!! very informative!!! haha :) you are the best shay!! i think i'm gonna do this whenever they send this to me!

  • good video that would be a good trend to start... see how much postage we can all waste of these Mega Corporations coddled and spoon fed by the US Government! START TODAY!

  • Best lesson to teach your daughter at an early age. Good job Shay!

  • Thats what we all should do to take America back to the Good Times....Please Say no to Credit Cards.

  • Thumbs Up If Lady Xeona Send u here

  • I really don't think credit cards are that bad if you treat them as money. To me, my credit card is back up for when places don't have debit and I don't have cash on me. I'm afraid of getting into more debt than necessary (aka, school) but it's nice to be able to do things like buy stuff online and know that I won't be rejected at the register for only having debit :)

  • @spendiferouslochness but these days you can use your debit card to buy things online....

  • banana peel is the only way to go when sending stuff back

  • Shay!! My mom tells me when they send you a postage paid envelope you just it with there stuff they just sent you with out sending anything with your name and mail it back to them!

    LOL

  • I'm with Shay. I'm still paying off 2000 of debt but they keep sending me credit card applications. It's so annoying to have to rip up credit card applications every day because those bloodsucking credit card companies can't take a hint.

  • the " Mystery Video " sent me here

  • Debit cards FTW! :D

    

  • ok next time i get an app for a card im SO doing this hahaha ill write SHAYCARL FTW! on the back of the envelope haha

  • i had to get a credit card to establish some credit through a credit union...it was my only option in the purchase of our new house...but the beauty of this card is that i can pay it right up the street after i use it...and i only use it for gas, i got fill up, then on my was home from filling up i stop by the credit union and pay the balance back using my debit card, so essentially i just added and extra step in using my debit card to establish credit...and i agree with the top rated comment.

  • Good idea Shay, I'll do that if i got one lol

    Do you get in trouble lol

  • ive never had a credit card and never will....and no im not wealthy. Id rather be average than in debt. can't believe i never did this before...i have getting these applications in the mail....i know what im gonna do next time :P

  • lol the while time i was thinkin "i thought you dont like credit cards?" RIP! ...oh...

  • its easy for shay to preech to the world that credit cards are bad when he makes over 300K every single year and can pay cash for everything. but when he was an average joe he used credit cards.

  • Credit Card companies are going to hate you now, you've started something massive Shay.

  • @laurenisnotavalible lol thats so true ive done it with 3 now since this video

  • lmaooo i am doing this next time lol

  • LMFAO

  • they're not terrible if you remember to only buy what you have cash for - if you're trying to raise your credit score. I make a purchase knowing I could've paid in cash , then I use that cash to pay off the card within 2 weeks. Never earning interest. It's not for everyone but if you can manage to be on the ball you'll never pay a dime in interest but raise your credit score! But props to Shay for making his way work too!!

  • lol i do the same thing.

  • lol! awsome!

  • AWSOME!

    

  • 169 ppl work for city financial lol

  • THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER :)

  • Comment removed

  • After exactly figuring fees and interests I got rid of my debt. It was a painful process. Financial education is a boring thing, but so worth it.

  • EPIC!

  • this video was so funny that i refreshed to like it twice hahaha

  • I can't wait to apply!

  • Debit cards all the way. :) And cash monayyy!

  • I went to the US once and stayed at the Beverley Hills Hilton. When I checked in they asked for a credit card to cover room expenses. When I said I don't have a credit card and I pay for everything with cash they nearly kicked me out as they didn't know how to deal with this. I had to give them an unsigned cheque for $100. Makes you wonder how the chain survived before credit cards.

  • how many ccards do u have?

  • @anoopsohal He doesn't have any.

  • @kayl23, if you really think i'm that ignorant.... if your going to pay off slowly you might as well put off as little or as much as you can every month or so....instead of buying a Starbucks...you CAN be smart with your money... I'm in college too

  • good thing to teach your kids shay, your a good dad:)

  • the day watched this..my dad got 3 credit card offers and i did what you did shay and we sent them..waiting to see what will happen

  • @SarNation Propose a better option outside of loans. I have plenty of scholarships and will still end up with a good amount of college loan debt. It's a choice I made to be able to study what I want to study. As a consequence, I work much harder than most college (Mommy and Daddy paid for me) students. I'll be more prepared to pursue my dreams and I'm sure I'll be quite fine financially. I invested in knowledge. A credit card is a different story. You are giving away money for nothing in return.

  • @SarNation Dont have a choice man, I wasnt born in a well to do family. I need a college education, the minute most kids from my neighborhood chose to go into college, they went into debt. I mean no one says "I want alot of debt!" Not a choice, just an unfortuanate consequence.

  • Credit cards are not inherently bad. Using them stupidly is bad.

  • This video deserves NO thumbs down. Is this listed under the educational section in youtube!

  • Princesstard looked so confused haha

    

  • YESSS plz tell me ur really sending it hahah thats so funny!

  • Unfortuanately for me a credit card is a need. As a college kid you need one for emergencies, like going to the hospital

  • @fbookacc why do you NEED one now...if you really needed it for an emergency couldn't you just get one then...and actually couldn't you just keep $1000 for an emergency...no self control to keep it? Let no debt be a great little carrot to run to :]

  • @act4life8 That's just dumn obviously if he had a spare $1000 he wouldn't need a credit card. He's saying he needs it for college because he's broke like a lot of college students. God your comment is so fucking ignorant it pisses me off.

  • he should've added a bit of flour to the envelope.

  • @H85A87 why flour? hahaha

  • I think everyone should start doing this! Love it - glad to see you're teaching the kids at a young age. :0)

  • there was no beter way to get this message across! :) btw shay there is a little girl named lady zeona who watchs your videos1 she about five and she made a video of herself riping up a creditcard aplication and sending it back to them. looks like she got the message :D

  • Outstanding

  • oh my gosh that's awesome! lol

  • Life lessons with ShayCarl and PrinsessTard :)

  • I love giving the credit cards magazine applications, other credit card applications... whatever junk mail I have sitting around. They only pay for the postage if it is used so if you recycle or shred it they don't pay. Give Visa an application for Mastercard or AmEx.... I do have a credit card but I treat it more like a debit. I pay it completely off every month and collect the bonus dollars they give me. :)

  • just like guns don't kill people, people kill people. credit cards don't put you in debt, you put yourself in debt. BUT it is annoying when you get 394023 credit card offers in the mail everyday, i think i'm gonna start doing this too! thanks shay :)

  • CLICKED ON MYSTERY VIDEO!

  • why havent i ever thought of this before*! LOVED IT!

  • why havent i ever thought of this better! LOVED IT!

  • SHAY: I learned something about credit cards today and decided i'm getting one.

    If go into this prepared and I'm smarter than the bank I'll get their money to work for me. I intend to use a credit card to buy textbooks etc...and allow my money to remain in my savings account and collect that 1%+ interest & then pay the card ON TIME thus bypassing the fees/ interest. Basically i use the banks credit to let my money collect interest.

    I'm not afraid of Credit cards but I do respect them.

  • It doesn't even have to be for credit cards. I just sent one of these applications back to Globe Life Insurance because I get about 2 in the mail each week. I could just throw it away, but filling it out the Shay Carl way is more fun.

    I also got my Dad in on this, and he's sending in his application to AARP. He refuses to let them control his fate if he's ever in a life & death situation, because they won't do much to save him. It's a shame Jeff Gordon carries them as his main sponsor :( 

  • Credit cards can actually be extremely useful, that is if you understand how the creditors actually make money, and you pay your bills on time. That way you don't pay any interest, but have the ability to use someone elses money when your own is not available.

    As a wise man once said, "Understand the concept, don't dig yourself into a hole, and credit cards can be a great thing." - Me. Just now.

  • @GTX470sc agreed! your money earns interest in your savings account!

  • LadyXeona sent me here. :)

  • @BeautybyTori Who??????

  • @figaro0727 LadyXeona is a Youtuber who did the same thing. :D

  • @BeautybyTori shes so cute!!!!

  • @BeautybyTori lol she sent me here too! :)

  • you should watch ladyxeonaland doing a renactment of this (: shes 5 ahaha its cute! thumbs up so he will look it up!

  • OR THEY ARE FROM CITIBANK! O_o

  • 163 PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHO DAVE RAMSEY IS !!

  • SHAYYYY

    /watch?v=_VMCtJjQeas&feature=f­eedu

  • hahahahahahaha lmao Thanks for making my day as I just got back with my mail....hahhahahaa

  • Go Shay! I hope that I will never have to use a credit card. It's so easy to get behind in payments and before you know your some hundred thousand dollars in debt.

  • Your awesome

  • credit cards arent bad, abusing them is. just like alcohol and pot! :)

  • @Sackajawiiia no....they actually are bad

  • @Sackajawiiia credit cards r terrible

  • @Sackajawiiia so paying more than you spended isn't bad?! wow!!

  • @PlayActiv just don't have interest. Pay the bill in full.

  • @Sackajawiiia That's why it's best to just not tempt yourself in the first place ;)

  • would about the stamp!>!>!? jk..

  • if you are a true shaytards fan, even before watching the video you would have know that SHAY WAS GONA RIP IT OFF!!

  • how do you buy a house without credit? pay for it in cash? OK because we all have 250-500K cash just laying around.

  • @MoreVodkaPLZ so you would rather be scammed by a company and gett the house ?

  • haha, wow, thats the real deal of handling things like that

  • HAHA! Oh gosh Shay. When I saw the title of this video I actually shouted "What!". That was brilliant. Did you really send it back?

  • credit cards are actually good. if someone steals your credit card you aren't responsible for the charges. if someone steals your debit card it's really hard to get your money back and if you do it will take a long time. i'd rather use a credit card especially with all the new technology allowing credit/debit cards to be scanned and have your info copied without your knowledge.

  • @pinkshamrock18 actually with my debit card plan i wont be responsible for the charges either. Ive lost my card before, and with one call to my bank the card was cancelled and was of no further use within 10 minutes. A credit card has no actual money on it, a debit card does. You pay for a credit card with bills. With my debit card, i never get bills and i can never overdraw on my card. With credit cards you can spend as much as you want, but you have to pay it back later on.

  • @jaudue12 i know the difference between a credit & debit card. i was saying that if your debit card had been stolen & then used the money you lost would be hard to get back & would take a long time & while you wait you are screwed for any bills you need to pay, but with a credit card they reverse the charges right away & you won't have to pay for those charges. credit card stolen, you aren't out any money. debit card stolen, you are out for awhile & may or may not get the money back.

  • @jaudue12 and i'm talking about having your card stolen/lost and used before you call to cancel it since it obviously can't be used after you report it stolen or lost. your card doesn't have to be missing from your wallet to be used by someone else either.

  • It would've been better if you burnt it too for a camp fire

  • debt freee

  • The more you know :) Thankyoooou Shaycarl!!!!

  • Lol at p-tard putting here finger on the camera.

  • Are you in a camper?

  • Why is everyone arguing? Just use a DEBIT card! No need to pay cash for stuff.

  • So THATS how you do it!

  • i only have one for going to gas stations.

  • Awesome!

  • im totally gunna do that! :D

  • awesome!

  • Credit cards ARE bad....unless you use it sparingly. Always try to stick to a debit card unless it is an emergency. Being in debt is never a good feeling. If you use a credit card i.e. to order something online or to stay in a hotel, etc. then pay it off ASAP. This also helps improve your credit score. But waiting to paying it off can end badly.

  • shay what if you want to stay in a hotel, or rent a car? you need to have a credit card.

  • @SuperElectrolytes Yet another myth.... I travel A LOT and there's no need. Look into it. ( o;

  • @SuperElectrolytes a debit card

  • @frostxxfire lol where did you find my comment, it was days ago

  • @SuperElectrolytes it was top rated on my screen for some reason. must have been a glitch.

  • I think it depends on the person wether they can handle a credit card or not,

  • For those coming after me, just think of life without credit cards for a few minutes... Just entertain the possibility without being negative about it. What would it look like? Hope you like the view! The mind is a wonderful thing! Ü

    P.S. You CAN save up for a car, cash flow your education, and even buy your house WITHOUT credit! Enjoy those credit cards! ( ;

  • Lmao if u actually send that back thats hilarious XD

  • All credit card holders are scummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • @bobboberan That would mean like 99% of the usa and europe are scum >.>

  • uhhhh... i wanna play minecraft.
