trifler said:Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (I haven't been keeping up with the FICO changes) but hard pulls of your credit may adversely affect your credit score.

Last I checked, each time you make a purchase using the Bill Me Later® option, they carry out a hard pull of your credit.

So ask yourself this, is a $10 or $20 savings really worth it?


It might sound a little silly, but carefully think about it.

don't think it's a hard pull, cause it was an instant approval in my case - it's never instant with hard pull - good luck!

Just want to share a less than pleasant experience dealing with Amazon.
I placed an order for this camera with 2 other items 7 days ago with their web site showing all items in stock and an expected Shipping date of today (they have almost always shipped the item before their estimated shipping date).
I just spoke with them and found that none of the item has been shipped because they ran out of the camera. Their website now shows a 1-2 months of wait time to ship. I gently explained to the nice folks at Amazon that they need to honor their end of the agreement by finding this commonly available (not exotic or special order)camera from their supplier list.
It seems really odd that Amazon would run out of this item that is listed at fair market value and then inform inquiring customer that the item MAY NOT be shipped for another 1-2 months !!
I am really sad and dismay that Amazon has now deteriorated so much in their customer service.

Just for comparison, I ordered 3 items from Dell and it was delivered in 3 days even for Free Shipping !!

Dell just stiffed me this past week on a Panasonic Lumix for no freakin reason. Even the best of companies have their hiccups.
