I got that letter from Synchrony as well. I also plan to cancel my card. I have other cards with lower int. rates I can use. I don't pay interest anyway but the gouging bothers me. I won't miss my Q card.

The cost of clothing is out of control, but what I've seen on QVC recently has me scratching my head.  I was debating about purchasing 2 of the AnyBody vest at $66.98 each.  But due to my hesitation I missed the 'sale' price and the price returned to $80.00.  What?!?!?!?  $80.00 for half a jacket, it has no sleeves.  That's just crazy, especially when I recently bought a Denim & Co. denim jacket (TSV) at $54.98 with a regular price of $73.00.

 

Both of these brands are QVC and to me Denim & Co. is the 'better' brand but how do you charge $80.00 for a vest?  I thought being a house brand eliminates the middleman, doesn't seem like it here.  What is the justification for charging $80.00 for a vest when I can get a whole jacket for $73.00?  I just don't get it.

 

QVC do better.


You don't have to shop @ Q. Prices are up everywhere but you can shop at lower price stores. For summer, I shop at Old Navy and J. Crew - great for jeans, 100% cotton tees and tops. Spandex and rayon not for me and way too hot in summer.

Also, the majority of Q clothing has gone big tunicss, shapeless tops, huge florals and looks very dated.

What?!?!?!  34.99%?!?!?!?  At one time wouldn't that have been considered usury???  That is CRAZY!!!!!
