Star card is a giant rip off. Trust me I got one and the interest rate is unusually high

It's not issued by the military. You can apply for it if you want, through aafes.

True, but you have to be military affiliated to use aafes.

I don't consider my bike a toy. It is my main mode of transportation and use it virtually every day....

Toys are the things you hang off the bike. The bike itself is a toy, if it serves any purpose beyond transportation. As an example, a jeep can be primary form of transportation, in the country or up north, maybe the best choice. However, when you start lifting it and putting wheels and chrome all over it to make it look pretty, those parts make it a toy.
I am not faulting the guy for owning a Harley, just saying he should not put a lot of accessories on a credit card. I sincerely hope he is not putting a bike on a card.

He was just throwing out the info... give him a break... Not all of us are getting a retirement check every month... lol Hell i run a shop on base right next to the main exchange and i don't even take the star card? I don't think Drak ment max it out on parts but maybe a nice xmas present for yourself wouldn't be bad.

I have a Star card and don't see what the problem is with it. A flat 10% interest with no yearly fee. That is a better interest rate than most people can get on any type of charge card. Of coarse you have the idiots that understand how to charge purchases but have not gotten the part down where you have to pay it back! They are always the same people that swear against credit cards.......cause' they can't get one.

so you find that doo dad at lvhd that no one else has, pay for it with your star card, and then pay the bill off at the end of the month.

win-win-win.....
