    Ok but why can’t I use my credit card or capitol one card. That’s annoying

    So it’s basically a credit card that won’t charge interest if paid off within 2 weeks… if not than there is interest from 10 – 30% tacked on. Only real difference is the interest rate is fixed…

    ???? Maybe We’re The 1st Spiritist* Pop-Metal Or Rock Band In This World…
    But Don’t Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, Haa Haa ❤️
    *NOTE:
    Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
    It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries…

      @KARYTTAH – Rock Band yes as seen in Ghost Hunters, Paranormal Activity 1, 2, 3, The Exorcist, Salem Witch Trials… When will you ever learn?

    • KARYTTAH - Rock Band

      April 21, 2022 at 1:24 pm

      @Boomerino Kripperino
      To learn about Spirits, read Allan Kardec.
      If you’ve never read it, then you can’t talk about a subject you don’t know anything about.
      But if you want to keep talking nonsense, we encourage you.
      Speak more.

      @KARYTTAH – Rock Band go to school, study biology, chemistry, math, history, physics, statistics. Or don’t, get your knowledge from conspiracy theorist, voodoo masters, witch doctors, purgatory keepers… Fill your head with garbage meant to distort reality and keep you in awe. You’re in so much awe to recognize how you’re being conned and kept as a serf.

      @Boomerino Kripperino
      You don’t know what you’re talking about, because you totally ignore the subject. If you’ve never read Allan Kardec, you shouldn’t talk about Spirits. If not, you will talk nonsense like you said here. It is quite possible that you do not understand what he writes in this incarnation. But it has to start now so maybe next time you can understand.

    Time to unsubscribe. Nothing but infomercials from CNET these days.

    No matter how you box it, it’s still Debt, with interest. If you can’t afford to pay it off each month…….you can’t afford it.

    How this company grew by 10 times_ Video includes paid promotion????

    Another commercial?! ????‍????

    Though, it may come across as a sponsored commercial, I do actually appreciate the subject as well as the fact you are letting those businesses get exposure to a bigger audience. Never heard of this company and it was refreshing to see a new initiative on the financial market.

    I must live under a rock because until this video I had never heard of Affirm. I still don’t know for sure what it is but it sounds a lot like my credit card. I pay no fees and if I don’t pay the balance every month, I pay interest.

      It’s more of a payment plan provider than a credit card, I think. I see it all the time in smaller stores but I don’t use them

  12. MrXenoOfficial

    This is just basically a credit card that makes you go in debt rather then fixing your issues.

  13. Donnavon Hallgren

    Affirm is a pita if you have your credit locked as it checks occasionally and locks you out for a bit if it can’t pull a result.

    Don’t be fooled, this is just another way for people to spend more money than they should. I get so mad when I go on some website and see items that are $50 say $50 or just $8/mo. Listen, if you need to make payments on a $50 item, you don’t need that item. On top of that, they have the data that proves that people will spend more than they originally intended to just because of those “easy payments”. Stay in your financial lane and only buy what you can pay cash for. If you can’t afford it in cash this week, wait till next week or the week after that or however long it takes to save up what you need.
