    It's not exactly 0%. What's done is they pre-compute everything with card fees then they sell it as that even in cash.

    ergo, cash buyers suffer because they pay for the fees they're not supposed to.

    Example:

    In stores a Black MacBook is 100-110K but i only sell it for 88k. If you buy it from me through card, it'll amount to 93,XXX. See, there's interest but even if you add it, it's still way cheaper. Add to that, you always get the latest version of the machine, not overruns. hehehehhe!

    We bought my HP laptop (3 years ago) via military Star Card at the nearby base here (where my wife works). 0% same as cash, no sales tax, plus 10% off the price (the price reflected is retail outside the base). Also, any rebates from the manufacturer and discounts from the store still apply.

    Personally, I rather pay cash. But, I don't control the purse-strings.

    Edit: My wife would often consult with the Pinay grapevine at the military exchange so she can time her purchases with the discounts.

    But, for my DIY desktop pc, no such discounts. It's newegg.com all the way.

    may mga bagay na sulit bilhin sa 0% 12 months to pay meron din sulit bilhin pag cash.

    Syempre malalaman mo yan kapag ikaw ay isang PC dealer.

    Eg. iPod nanos are okay for 0% 12 months to pay kasi mark-ups are small... For the 5th gen iPod better buy it cash dahil malaki diff ng cash price & credit card price ng 5G iPod...

    O.T. Check Apple's website tomorrow evening.... baka may bagong iPod

    Is that canon? It's only a gimmick, 18 mo zero interest but at ripoff prices...

    Too bad those are Pentium D dual core desktops that are not energy efficient and slower than most Athlon 64s....

    Sana inantay mo yung Core 2 Duo... that's a gud long term investment
