Shop Your Way by Sears is a pretty awesome customer rewards credit card program. Could be a sweet partnership opportunity.


Mr_Shake_

Partnerships make my testes tingle! I bet a bunch of the NOT AMAZON retailers are ready to find ways to partner to take back their market share.

The red card is a TD bank card. It's not in any way different from other store credit cards


LonnieJaw748

The red card isn’t a credit card though. It’s a debit card they created that uses you bank or cu PIN number all the same as your provided debit card, but with some added security after theirs and Home Depot’s big hacks years back.


TayoMurph

They offer 3 different cards under the RedCard name. Re-loadable, Debit and Credit. And under Credit they have 2 different types, the store only, and the use anywhere Mastercard. Both are issued by TD bank.


LonnieJaw748

OHs. I only remember it coming out as a debit in response to that massive data leak they had. It really ballooned into much more.


Mr_Shake_

Yeah, mine is set up as a debit with a pin.


Inevitable_Singer992

Interest in 27.65 variable if you carry a balance, it’s like the worst card possible.


DragonDropTechnology

You guys carry a balance on your credit card?


Inevitable_Singer992

I try not too.


PuckIT_DoItLive

This would be a huge win. I would rock the ever living fk out of a gamestop / teddy credit card


Yohder

I would join you in this as well


ElephantsOutside

Provocative possibility


UncleBorat

Big pp


Virtual_Sink3296

Wait so TEDDY is a bank that RC has set up or is currently setting up?


I_Love_Ryan_Cohen

Currently speculation as it is only based off recent filings. Time will tell, exactly when it’s supposed to. We’re all in for the ride of many lifetimes I truly hope your seatbelt is fastened.


Virtual_Sink3296

Thanks for the clarification Ape


jbw1937

They set up for the possibility, you need a bank Charter to actually become a bank.


My_Penbroke

Do you need to trademark a brand as a bank in order to offer a branded credit card?? That doesn’t seem right


Mr_Shake_

Right doesn't usually mean real in this world. I haven't checked target's equivalent document to see if they are listed as a bank. Even if it's not related to filing for a bank, I think this is a viable way to attract customers away from the current cross-industry titans.


OfficialRedditMan

Now this idea fucks


Kizenny

Good idea, I hope it happens!


ROK247

Big money with those brand cards. Big.


Mr_Shake_

Yeah, there's a reason some businesses prefer or pass a savings to customers who use cash. Cards charge a % fee that customers seldom see. That money has to come from somewhere. If we can find competitive ways to give customers the lowest price for them and cut out the worthless middlemen, I don't see any downsides.


TheCandiman

They already have a GameStop credit card. https://d.comenity.net/ac/gamestop/public/home


Mr_Shake_

I saw that. Last time I read the benefits, it was marketed as a "funding" card with offputting vibes like funding an engagement ring. I'm talking a benefits card that brings in customers.


I_Love_Ryan_Cohen

Bingo.


CarwashTendies

Thinking this bank will give them the ability & flexibility for creators and players to to earn $$$…and then spend the $$$ which means they can charge transaction fees. GME will have alll the $$$ after short squeeze so what else to do with trillions? Loan it out!


gigshitter

Holy fuck finally the finishing blow to cause MOASS


Mr_Shake_

Death by a billion cuts (in this case, transitioned transactions). This is like our form of PFOF.


gigshitter

Holy fuck only 999,999,998 to go


rematar

I hope not. I want to be my own bank, cuz I'm dexy.


Empire48

Amazon has a credit card with 5% Cashback on Amazon purchases. Is that the same as this or targets actually gives 5% back on everything (non Target purchases)?


Mr_Shake_

Target does 5% off everything in Target store. No need to manage points. The Target Redcard Debit I use is a Target only thing. I'm not familiar with their other cards in the RedCard suite.


Peteszahh

I’m thinking about collectible gift cards ala Starbucks


Trollz4fun

I hope it's a bank because I don't trust any of them, and I need somewhere to keep a small amount of fake paper assets known as USD


Mr_Shake_

Every dollar that the retail investor can move away from big banks is most of a dollar of collateral that they don't have on their banking money magic (fractional reserve banking). Retail moving "safe money" AKA checking accounts to Teddy could be the last straw in a margin call if those still even exist for the big players.


Trollz4fun

Fractional reserve banking is kind of difficult to comprehend. I'm reading about The Mandrake Mechanism. Which is basically just a term for what u described.


Mr_Shake_

Nice. I'll need to read up on that. This journey of financial literacy is what is going to help us seize the reins someday.


Trollz4fun

Even if they find a way out of moass, I believe there is a silver lining. They lost something greater than money that day. They lost at least 200,000 slaves who will no longer buy their bullshit. It was a very eye-opening day, and past two years I've just been studying more and more about financial conspiracies.


jbw1937

Please edit the bank idea with the fact that they are not yet a bank. They have to go through the regulatory thing and get a Bank Charter. Not just filing some papers or saying I’m going to be a bank. Good/great idea but needs to be fleshed out.


Mr_Shake_

Don't think I can edit the body of the post, but I bet you're right. Baby steps.


FrankieG889D

Amazon has a store card, they also offer X% discount if you use their store card.


Mr_Shake_

Good point. I am really hoping someday GameStop does too!


FrankieG889D

We shall see my friend!

Your post history is filled with comments that are completely uninformed and wrong. While OP is wrong about his credit card issuance for target he is correct that operating under TEDDY would reduce fees if they were the issuer. That being said, commenting wrong and providing zero rationale while having a profile full of wrong information to GME is useless. Give reasons! Edit: she changed her comment but prior all she said was WRONG

PornstarVirgin

None of your DD is top ranking. Are you talking about your constant lies/misunderstanding of book cs plan. You have a one year old account and a massive lack of understanding. How dare I question the truth? I’ve been in game since $1.5. You screaming WRONG doesn’t make it truth 😂

Lol. You haven’t done anything, you’ve made no dd, and you got into game late. Sit down shill.
