I’m very happy to fight on the same card with Vasyl Lomachenko and Oleksandr Gvozdyk. This is something we’ve been talking about since we were amateurs – to have three members of the 2012 Ukrainian Olympic team in the same event.
It turns out that American Express honors recurring payments even if the vendor is unable to supply an accurate card number and expiration date. An Amex phone representative said this is a feature, not a bug, which makes sure my bills are paid.
What this country needs is a credit card for charging things to experience.
I really enjoy watching the younger talent like The Shield rise up on the card and make a huge impact.
We’re risking the future of the net. People are already losing their trust. Once you get burned once – somebody steals your credit card, or makes a purchase on your account – people tend to stay away from online commerce and from trusting online services.
Now, many public libraries want to lend e-books, not simply to patrons who come in to download, but to anybody with a reading device, a library card and an Internet connection. In this new reality, the only incentive to buy, rather than borrow, an e-book is the fact that the lent copy vanishes after a couple of weeks.
The rudest possible gift is a gift card. It means you think the person is stupid and has no interests. The only good gift card is Bitcoin. You practically have to be a hacker to know about it.
The swipe fee reform law that Congress enacted in 2010 was a huge step forward in bringing transparency, competition, and choice to a debit card system that had been rigged by Visa, MasterCard, and the banks.
You have two pages, that’s the whole credit card agreement. The terms are clear and flat and easy to see so anyone can read them. So you could lay four credit cards in front of you and say, ‘Oh, that’s the one that has the highest rate, that’s the one that has the really scary provision that could hurt me.’
Pentagon not only has the untrainable ‘It’ factor but also the rare ability to adapt and succeed wherever he competes. He has a unique charisma about him that fans connect with, and regardless of where he competes or what style is prominent, he seamlessly blends in – yet stands apart from everyone else on the card.
I go to the Caribbean for a month every January with hand baggage only. All you need is a passport and a credit card.
These days, checks are direct-deposited, money comes out of a machine in the wall, and we swipe a plastic card to make a purchase. In other words, your kids can grow up thinking money comes in an endless supply if you don’t show them otherwise.
Talent is to actors what luck is to card players. It’s not really anything; it’s just a fictitious word that people have created and labeled things. Talent is like, you know, I never really believed in talent, I believed in drive and determination and preparation, but talent is sort of like luck.
There are times when you got to put a little ‘extra’ in, especially on a card at WrestleMania or SummerSlam because it’s no time to hold anything back. You have to pull out all of the stops.
I never dreamt to be headlining a pay-per-view card. That was never a goal.
One of my favorite sci-fi books is ‘Ender’s Game’ by Orson Scott Card. I would recommend it to anyone who loves sci-fi. It’s a perfect intro to sci-fi.
When migraines briefly became a campaign issue for me, it appeared that political foes were maybe playing the gender card.
No one has ever given me anything. No one gave me a tour card, no one gave me a US tour card, no one gave me a nice house and a Ferrari: I’ve had to work for every penny I have earned and I’m proud of that.
You want to be a part of the big card. You want to be part of history.
I have flown with British Airways since I was a very little child, so it feels quite special to have gone from family holidays flying around Europe to become a gold card holder and be spoiled enough to travel more than not in first class.
With a lot of contemporary musicals, the songs are like a calling card: the action stops for them.
One of the coolest days of my life was when I bought a 16K memory card upgrade and stuck it in my Apple II. I was kind of a geek.
When people write a novel, they want to have that reach and that impact. To get it with a first novel, you can either see it as an albatross or a calling card.
I’m constantly amazed that owners and managers of all businesses don’t train their people to call the person who pays by credit card by name. It definitely makes the customer feel good and will be a factor in bringing them back to your place of business.
Nothing is a calling card. Everything is what you do. If you do it in order to get somewhere else, you’re not actually doing it. If you’re thinking, ‘What is the weird thing I want to make with my friends?’ money and other things will come later.
I think a book is your calling card, your business card.
Generally, when I tell people I’m a painter, they ask me if I have a card: ‘Yes, we’d like this room in this color.’ I still might get cards that say ‘Mark Bradford. Painter.’
Most Japanese-Americans have that legacy. The camp experience is something of a calling card between them. They say, ‘So, where were you interned?’
I am a poker player, but I am not a good poker player. My favorite game is seven card stud, but I’ll play hi/lo, Hold ’em, Razz, etc.
The technology, called near-field communication, involves a microchip that can send and receive data across very short distances, about four inches. Instead of swiping a credit card, you hold your phone near a reader and let the data zip between the two devices.
Money is only useful when you get rid of it. It is like the odd card in ‘Old Maid’; the player who is finally left with it has lost.
Chicago is a big town for magicians and card hustlers. So when I was very young, a fellow sat me down and taught me the Three-Card Monte. And that kind of put me in a – pointed me towards easy money.
In the early 1980s, I burned my Social Security card at the New Orleans Investment Conference in protest of the state pension system.
Evening bags should be just big enough for my phone, lipstick, house key, and credit card.
At the time I left film school there wasn’t a lot of hope for young film-makers. It was a calling card of film school to be quite slick and commercial, which might lead to getting some stuff on telly.
Many kids come out of college, they have a credit card and a diploma. They don’t know how to buy a house or a car or health insurance or life insurance. They do not know basic microeconomics.
To have transactions made on your web site via credit card, you must be PCI compliant. Businesses make the mistake of thinking that because you passed the requirements and are PCI certified, you are immune to attacks.
I got my SAG card quite unexpectedly. I was here in Los Angeles doing a play called ‘Vanities’ – it was 1976, I believe – and I got invited by Dustin Hoffman, whom I’d met in New York, to come audition for a movie he was directing.
I think Vice is vastly overrated. And I think that if you are interested in reaching young males, which is what I think Vice’s calling card has been, CNN’s digital properties reach far more young men on a weekly basis than Vice does.
Credit card interest payments are the dumbest money of all.
I have always played cards during training camps. I used to play Italian card games, though. I rarely played poker.
I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn’t right for me.

I collected baseball and football cards. My most valuable was probably a Mark McGwire rookie card.
I always tell people that I became a writer not because I went to school but because my mother took me to the library. I wanted to become a writer so I could see my name in the card catalog.
Every writer has written a spec. It’s the first thing you write, and it basically stands as a means of, ‘Here’s an example of how I tell stories.’ It’s almost like a business card.
In 1972, I signed a union card for SEIU. And for the last 38 years, 14 as president, it’s been my life. I’ve seen the most miraculous, spectacular things. But there’s a time to learn, a time to lead and a time to leave.
Companies that make keys, credit card companies, any company in the service business – anything to do with a consumer is probably a software company.
I have the travel documents. I have a green card. I can go anywhere.
If you want to give a tangible present, but you know the recipient wants cash, give a little bit of both. This strategy is helpful for occasions that involve a public opening of presents, like a bridal or baby shower. You can give something that can be wrapped and opened, along with a card containing a check.
To bring down your credit card balances, write down the benefits of reducing your debt. No more gnawing feeling that you’re throwing money away, perhaps. More money flowing to other financial objectives. Then consult the list when you have doubts.
I remember I was really, really proud the first moment I got my insurance and also just going in to get my SAG card and filling out the form and realizing I was a member of all the unions I could be a part of as an actor. It was a really fulfilling experience for me.
