I am very responsible with my credit, I only use ONE (Visa) credit card, and I only use it for big purchases that then get paid off within 3 months. I don't have any store cards; the interest rates are too high and the incentives are just gimmicks to get you to spend more money.
i'm in a similar situation, the Saks and NM are in different malls but they're LITERALLY across the street from each other in north atlanta, and all of the designer-owned boutiques are in one mall or the other, plus there's bob ellis, which carries chloe, balenciaga, marni, gucci, everything you could imagine. there's even a cute little shuttle that runs between the two places so you don't have to move your car. i just wish that NM took regular cards because it would be easier and i like their SAs better than the ones at Saks.
