Do what I do, and apply for a credit card with a nice sign-up bonus, then use your tax bill to meet the spend requirement for the bonus on that card.

Yes, but that will increasingly be the case. Celebrity culture in the US seems really like it kicked into gear in the 1950s. Not that there weren't celebrities before, just seems like a lot lower rate. It's getting even crazier now. There are 29,000 youtube accounts with at least 1m subscribers.

This is the correct answer. The rate of major celebrity deaths will only be increasing over the next several years.

bknight posted...
From what I gather, never cancel your first card. I think it's the one used to establish your longest length of credit which count towards your credit score. The longer the better, if canceled, it would go to the next card or loan, which would shorten your credit history.

To add to this, note that many banks will automatically close your card if not used for a certain period of time (usually ~1 year). So you should make a small purchase on the card account(s) you don't use but want to keep open perhaps once every several months or so to keep it active (So, a candy bar, or a 50c Amazon balance reload, or something like that)

Okay. I finally found the page for the card. By the way, I forgot to mention that the company is OpenSky.

This is what their Unsecured OpenSky Visa Gold card comes with according to their website:

* $500 unsecured credit line
* No credit check
* No application
* Competitive 23.90% APR
* $59 Annual Fee
Apparently, I don't need to sign up because it is available by invitation only and I'm already approved, I just need to "click accept".

That is absolutely shit. Definite no.

You should probably be looking for a beginner-level card that has rewards, and no annual fee. The Chase Freedom Flex/Unlimited is a good one to start with, and they're usually running some kind of sign-up promo as well.

I'm not a youtube creator, but I would assume they'll send you a 1099 for the last tax year at some point, as long as you made more than a negligible amount.

Then I presume that income would be reported by you on Schedule C, and subject to Self-Employment Tax as well. Not really sure though.

This isn't tax advice.

The motive, at least for him, amounts to nothing more than "I can do it, and Valve hasn't tried to stop me, so why not?" The real kicker is that he doesn't even watch the games he's ruining, just sets the bots to run and leaves to do other stuff.
