Now THAT makes things clearer! Thanks.
When I made my Apple purchase with Apple Store credit about 10 years ago, it was through MBNA.
(Still doesn't make sense that the 'rents couldn't get the financing though, given their situation.)
OP, is this for high school graduation or college graduation? Also, the way you explained it, did you all purchase the house together? Seems kinda weird that you would know quite a bit about their finances. My parents wouldn't even tell me how much their house cost, and i am 30 (i looked at a flier from a house down the street that was for sale - most likely foreclosed on - to get an idea.. not that i give a rats' ass)
In any case, it does seem kind of weird that they pull in decent money, but can't shell out 2K. Why not just save for 2 months or whatever and then pay cashola? You NEED it right away? They can order it and have it sent to you.
I agree with you. Reading this sounds odd. Why the heck would you wanna know about your parents income or credit honestly? I agree with everyone else, it sounds like either your a liar or they shouldn't be buying you anything.
Take your 500 dollars you claim to have and buy a dell dude...
