BOSE just came out with a new noise canceling set of ear buds and started selling them 2 days ago. I was impressed and my old ones were getting up in years. These new ones sell for $299, so I told the sales lady that maybe I would get a pair for my BD in a couple of months. Here's the good part......I found that BOSE has a special deal that is open to the public......you can purchase any of their products by signing a form and using your credit card....no credit checks or hoops to jump through (quick transaction). The agreement is that each month they will charge your cc $25 to pay off the item. No interest is charged, just purchase the item, sign a form allowing them to charge $25/mo, and you're on you way. In my case, the first charge is $47 which includes the sales tax, then they charge my card $25/mo for 11 months, interest free.
