I ordered a ThinkPad X13 on Aug. 23 and got it delivered on Sep. 07. A quick delivery for a "bespoke" laptop!

When in the UK, I "progressed" from Gold to Centurion AMEX. These cards were "Charge Cards", meaning you don't pay on the spot, you pay all of your purchases at the end of the month. Very convenient when you travel a lot for business. The Centurion's benefits were great, with 24-7 Concierge, comprehensive Travel Insurance (even if you don't pay your trip with the card), direct access to top tiers Hotel Airlines loyalty programs, etc.

Regarding Taxis, I use either metered or Bolt. Bolt, is, almost, same price than metered. The app is easy to use and cars are quick to get. When traffic is heavy and where it's available, I use BTS & MRT

Allo! It's not just about "rewards"! Did you, truly, read and understand, my post? BTW, I do not pay a single THB of interest/fee linked to my credit card activity! Got it? Therefore, how could I do "overspending" and how could I be "in debt"? You, really, have to open your mind a little bit and start to think... I hope you aren't / weren't in a senior finance position.

100% non sense! LOL Scenario # 1: I invite a customer for lunch in a 5-star hotel and I pay with my credit card. 1.The price I pay IS the same that if I had paid with cash. 2. This transaction will give me points and I'll be able to use these points to get some rewards (free lunch, free ice creams, discounts @ the big malls, discounts at hotels, etc.) 3. The money isn't directly taken from my account. This transaction could be paid, free of charge, up to 50 days after the actual date. 4. Last but not least, it's a business expense and I can claim it back! Scenario # 2: I fill the tank of my car @ the petrol station and I pay with my credit card. 1.The price I pay IS the same that if I had paid with cash. 2. This transaction will give me points and I'll be able to use these points to get some rewards (free lunch, free ice creams, discounts @ the big malls, discounts at hotels, etc.) 3. The money isn't directly taken from my account. This transaction could be paid, free of charge, up to 50 days after the actual date. Scenario # 3: I pay a return ticket to Europe and I pay with my credit card. 1.The price I pay IS the same that if I had paid with cash. 2. This transaction will give me points and I'll be able to use these points to get some rewards (free lunch, free ice creams, discounts @ the big malls, discounts at hotels, etc.) 3. The money isn't directly taken from my account. This transaction could be paid, free of charge, up to 50 days after the actual date. 4. With my credit card I get a free and comprehensive travel insurance. Scenario # 4: I buy a new laptop (for example) and I pay with my credit card. 1.The price I pay IS the same that if I had paid with cash. 2. This transaction will give me points and I'll be able to use these points to get some rewards (free lunch, free ice creams, discounts @ the big malls, discounts at hotels, etc.) 3. The money isn't directly taken from my account. This transaction could be paid, free of charge, up to 50 days after the actual date or I can take advantage of a 10-month interest free scheme. 4. If during the first 90 days my new device is stolen, broken or lost, the credit card company will pay for a brand new one. PS: I don't have to pay the annual credit card fees! So, please tell me where is the problem? LOL

I'm not Thai and I have 2 Thai Credit Cards: The first one: I got it when I was working abroad and it's backed up with a Fixed Bank Account. The second one: I got it when I started to work in Bangkok. This one has quite a healthy limit and DOES NOT have any Fixed Bank Account linked to it.

Wrong! Thai banks issue credit cards as UK banks do. Meaning, if you can prove that you have recurring revenues (eg: salary from a Thai employer), a Thai bank will be more than pleased to issue a card. The limit would be n times your monthly salary. In the case that you do not have any recurring revenues, a Thai bank would issue a credit card if you provide some kind of guarantee.

some solid retrocommission, maybe?

Straps I recently bought for our cheap watches ????

From what I understood... You've been using a "yahoo E-mail address" for 25 years, you want to change your email service provider and you're asking whether you can keep you "yahoo E-mail address": Straight and short answer: No, you can't! Longer answer: since you want to leave Yahoo services you can't keep using the E-mail address (and E-mail services) provided by Yahoo. Now, you can use your Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, whatever E-mail addresses with the CSP (= Communication Service Provider: 3BB, AIS, True, etc. in Thailand) of your choice. You can, as well, "consolidate" your E-mail activity through a "client": Outlook (part of Office Suite, from Microsoft), Thunderbird (from Mozilla), etc. Hope it'll help
