Greese that's better than the musical

Wiz, Wizzy... What affectionate name can I now possibly give to my credit card, which has a new landlord and is formally named ’28 Degrees’? I think perhaps ‘Greesy’ is the right name to use, though this hardly portrays the awesomeness that my oh-so-magical Wizard once gave me (and still does, albeit under a more transparent title). This rant is to point something out – just how bloody good the greese in your wallet can be at the ATM (good enough to irritate their customer service team upon them knowing how you use the product). You top up the card with your own money and essentially it becomes a debit card, as you’re not running into the trap of withdrawing credit from an ATM anymore. But alas, you might find yourself with none of your own and delve into the wallet for another card, Greesy’s arch-enemy, in fact – the bank card. This may seem the better option when faced with the fear of credit card traps on the auto tellers, but believe me, when your bank card whacks a healthy $13 conversion fee on that taking, then the ATM scratches a further $5, the couple of dollars you’d lose before you top-up Greesy aint looking so bad anymore.
