NEWS: Lucky Star Credit Card Hinted in Japan

I've just finished LS and it was really hard to watch If only the whole show was more like Lucky Channel, it would have had more fans, I think! LS wasn't B-A-D, just really slow - it never had me laughing, maybe a snigger here and there but that's about it...



I suppose LS had fans after all......good for them, but it's not like these cards will ever be available outside Japan anytime soon

I wish that they could have waited at least a year. That way I'm done with school and I'm in Japan with a Japanese address, and I can apply for a Japanese credit card then. I would want Kagami and Konata on mine.

Good luck getting one if you just got out of school. Getting approved for a credit card is tough. You have to be a permanent resident with a steady job, OR have a 3-year work visa with a significant monthly income before they'll issue one to you.

I've been rejected like 3 times just because my Visa expired in a year, even though I made a lot more money than the average person who just graduated from college. Now that I changed my Visa type I should probably try again, but still, it's not easy for even Japanese people to get a Japanese credit card.

Unlike the US where credit card companies try to sign up every poor starving collegiate on campus.
(Then again, Japan is still mainly a paper economy where 24-hr ATM is still a novel concept.)

Of which I would rather have than the other part of how we pay for things, CHECKS. I hate checks, hate having to take them at my work and hate having to write them at all.

doesn't Capital One allow to choose your own design on your credit card?

There comes the problem of copyright, you can't just put any image on it.

Yeah I hardly use checks nowadays too. But at the same time, you don't really want your boss paying you in paper cash every 2 weeks. Or worse, a robber stealing yours (and other employees') pay after waiting on your boss habitually withdrawing cash from the bank/ATM to carry all that wad in a bag to work (like what still happens in Japan from time to time).
