FICO Scores Will Soon No Longer Factor In Authorized Accounts!

Trying to build credit? You had better hurry up!

One of the best ways for a teenager to start building credit is about to end.
Having a parent add a child as an authorized user with their own SSN on a long-standing and high limit credit card has for years been an easy way to quickly build credit and start off with a high credit score.

Starting later this year only the primary credit credit card holder will get FICO credit for the account.

The authorized account holders were always given credit in the past as a benefit for college students to build their credit.

The reason for the change was because some people were renting out their authorized accounts to non-relatives who just wanted a quick and unfair credit boost…

I wonder how this change will affect everyone’s credit scores…

Hertz At LHR Is Honoring The $3 Rental Rate!

Original Deal Linky
Here is a front lines report from London Heathrow:

“I’ll be honest, I thought this was a fool’s errand. So much so that I was 2 hours late for my booking, as I kept having another cup of coffee to put off the schlepp out to LHR.

Seeing as the rental location was the north perimeter road, I opted to stay on the Tube until LHR T1,2,3. T1 is the nearest from the Tube station, so I headed for T1 international arrivals.

I kept it very neat and tidy. Big smile for the lady behind the desk, prompt presentation of credit card and both parts of the UK driving license.

She tapped something in. And then looked up and said “Do you actually want a Beetle? How about a Golf GTi?”

I meekly said yes, trying to contain my enthusiasm.

She picked up the phone. Said a few words and then hung up. At this juncture, I thought the jig was up.

But no. Fuel Options? I’ll return it full, thanks. Insurance? Covered by the Amex Platinum, I offered. She nodded vigourously to this, as if it would be madness not to be.

Then she saw the price.

To say there was a sharp intake of breath, followed by her eyes popping out on stalks would be putting it mildly. I thought someone had stabbed her.

“That’s an….amazing price”

I thought carefully and then said quietly “That’s why I’m here”

“That is an…..amazing price” She continued to stare at the screen in disbelief.

Again, “I know. That’s why I’m here.” Situations like this call for saying as little as possible.

“Well, that’s the first one of those I’ve seen. No wonder they can’t give us a pay rise”

She picked up one of the yellow booklets, filled out the details or the car and the bay, and that was that. Off to the shuttle bus.

Price was detailed in Pounds. I had on my quote

Palm Foleo?

    4

    Is Palm getting desperate or what?
    Today they released a Treo companion called the Foleo.
    It weighs as much as the TX series of the Sony Vaio’s, but has a smaller screen and does a whole lot less.
    In fact, just about the only only thing it can do is sync email and surf the web-it won’t even sync your calander appointments.

    Palm founder Jeff Hawkins said that,
    “Palm will initially target heavy users of wireless e-mail who are looking for a portable device to ease the burden of relying on a smart phone as a primary computing device.”

    No offense Jeff, but the last time I checked, that was called a laptop.

    Palm still has yet to come up with their own truly innovative product this century, even the highly-successful Treo was invented by Handspring and later bought by Palm.

    Here’s hoping that Palm’s new Linux-based OS that will be unveiled later will not be such a huge dissapointment as well.

    Skybus: More Info…

    3

    I wrote a roundup on Skybus last month when they started selling tickets starting at just $10.

    Here is a neat article about them:
    “The Greyhound Bus of the Skies”

    Also regarding Kosher food and their policy of not allowing food on flight:

    “Thank you for contacting Skybus.

    In general, you may bring your own food onboard a Skybus flight if we don’t offer a suitable alternative for sale. For example, the following types of food are not offered by Skybus and may therefore be brought with you:

    -Baby formula and other types of baby food

    -Special food for diabetics

    -Special food for those with severe food allergies

    -Special food for those with dietary restrictions (Kosher, Muslim, etc.)”

    HT: R.Y.B.

    Finally, now that Skybus has started service, does anyone still doubt that “a la carte” airline pricing is inevitable?

    Minimum rental is 5 days, maximum rental is 99 days.
    A 99 day rental comes out to about $600 including all taxes.
