Mashed in charge of a credit card

Start of the peak season this weekend… and thought might be good idea to remind ourselves why it's best to take cash or a prepaid card out with us and lock up our credit cards in the room for emergencies, when we go out to get mashed ..

Guys, can I suggest we ban the obvious to avoid thread turning into a moral debate ? So posts like “Indecision at Cherubs Escort Agency line-up leads to five-in-a-bed romp for groom to be and a £4,500 card charge to explain to bride-to-be” are a no-go here…

Contributions sought for biggest disasters with a credit card after “a few too many whatevers” .. preferably when in Ibiza or involving travelling, and involving painful financial lessons learned the hard way ..
 
Oh dear, there have been a few instances where I've got a little excited and bought strangers (who i thought were my new long lost friends at the time) drinks in places like Space and Amnesia :oops: :spank: Then the next day looked at my CC stament and not been too happy. I wont mention figures but lets say one time it was enough for 2 mortgage payments :oops:

I did have a mate who got a little worse for wear in Amnesia 2 summers ago, after hallucinating that Sven Vath was chasing him around the club he ended up buying shed loads of champagne in the upstairs VIP. His statement the next day was over 7K :eek: :lol: and it was only his fist night !!

Good thread 8)

I think i can safely say that the main culprits for the said acts are males :lol:

I do get a bit card happy if the cash runs out and do the inevitable of kicking myself the next day and then kicking myself again when in a bad state of health, thinking was it worth it ?!
 
Rubbish - bet a few girls have maxed out a card on shoes and handbags after a boozy girlie lunch at Harvey NicNaks ? :?::?::)
 
Once spent fortunes in a sh*t hole in London - The Windmill. Went in with a m8 having read a review in a lads mag. Had to pay a girl £80 per hour to sit with us at a table otherwise was standing room only. Champers was £150 per bottle, private dances were stupid money. At the time being slightly under the influence it seemed like a good bit of fun. After a couple of hours of not even being able to touch the gorgeous girl sat at the table, I thought it was time to go. The final bill was horrendous with lots of added charges for silly stuff like 'at table service', 'premium table'. I had to actually speak with someone at the credit card centre to assure them it was a legit transaction with a heavy either side of me :oops:

Just seeing the place when in London makes my cheeks burn, what a toby:spank:

Oh yeah that doesnt even need to be said, but they would obviously be justifiable buys :lol:

where as you lot have nothing to show for it, apart from maybe a dirty hangover ?! :lol:
 
On a trip a few years ago after a day round the pool consuming numerous beverages the Hubby decided in his wisdom to draw €300 out of the cashpoint before we went out to eat. I'm not sure why we needed this princely sum as we had no big plans for that evening...?

Needless to say that after rolling around on the Curry Club loungers after our meal he discovers the following morning that his wallet has gone along with said €300, cards, drivers license etc.... :spank:

He is now heavily supervised when making cash withdrawals whilst on holiday :lol:

Justifiable buys eh ? Even our dirty hangovers last longer than some of the fashion items on sale in a holiday boutique or two (which shall remain nameless), n'est-ce pas ? And at least we get to keep the memories :)

Curry Club loungers ? :lol: the answer is blowing in the wind ?
 
A friend and i went to Thailand over December and January of this year, if i remember correctly i took maybe 100 over to koh phagnan (too much looking back now but as they say, better more than not enough)....my friend (male btw) decided to take 150.....

He then decided to proceed to get more and more battered through the full moon party...i then lose him in the night which i didnt care as i was off doing my think with a fit aussie dude :D

The next day, I roll up into my hotel (on the next island) to see my mate contemplating throwing himself off the balcony due to be in a very bad state of health :lol: ....

We then go on to say what the hell we got up to the night before and his story is alot more crazier than mine....he managed to lose more than half of his money, got a tattoo done and had to blag a speed boat back to our island due to him having no money, not only that, he had to leave his camera with the tatooist as he had no money to pay the guy for the tottenham mess he got up his arm ;) so the next day he had to get the boat back (45min boat ride) to the island, pay the dude, get his camera and come all the way back...

All i said was GUTTED :lol:

Nah sorry, I have always been someone who saves then spends or cashes in shares and spends and if I use CC's - I pay them of as soon as I can - I hate having debt - sorry - so dull!!! :oops:
 
Cash cards can also be dangerous (as BG pointed out).

Why is it that all withdrawls during the evening HAVE to be rounded up "just in case"?


I find a multiplier of 2 for anything under £50 automatically kicks in.

Anything above is a pure lottery as you have to type the numbers in freestyle...


Hmmmm... £100, no maybe £150?

Aahhhhh what the hell let's make it a round £200................... "JUST IN CASE"! :spank:

This is a classic. Have to admit being made to leaving personal effects 'in bond' whilst I return with cash on more than one occasion in Central America ... the silliest request was that I leave my credit card ... go figure ?????!!
