Priceless...

The Mastercard ad...

"knowing you`ve earned every moment of it ........... priceless".

...implying that you've earned the money, so book your holiday with Mastercard. The reality is that they want those who haven't yet earned the money to book a holiday with their credit card. I bet those who haven't yet earned the money, and maybe can't afford the money, will be tempted by this bullshit. Clever.

You know when you have earned it when you have paid for it, and Mastercard want you to pay more for it. It's your choice, ... "you know you are worth it" ...but only if you can pay for it, or you think you can pay for it...

"Because you're worthless...". Nah, wouldn't work.

At the risk of sounding pro-credit-card-debt (which I'm not - credit cards are for using as an easy means of payment, not for abusing, in my opinion), what else could they say ?

"Why put it off - Put it on! Because you can't sodding afford it, you mong!".

Ok, if the gas boiler's just exploded, you've got no cash handy at the moment, you know you can pay it off in a couple of months then fair enough, but buying a holiday, or yet more £5 cups of frothy coffee you could make at home for a fraction of the price, is just bloody retarded.
