If you’re not responsible with credit, then it’s a big catch. Can you still get this card for the $30 off if you’re bad with credit? Yes, but you have to do it very carefully. Get the card, get the $30 off, pay any extra on your bill when it comes, and CUT UP THE CREDIT CARD WHEN IT COMES AND NEVER USE IT (or use some other method for not using your card). If you use it anyways, and get yourself into trouble, it’s not my fault. I told you how it is! [...] [...] So, back to the catch? It’s a credit card!

Ok, you might not feel you’re able to do this. I still haven’t been able to cut up my credit card, even though I know I should. But, I still don’t carry it with me. Even if you don’t cut it up, at least don’t carry it in your wallet! Find some way to not use that credit card.
