There's a checkbox for that, you should uncheck it (or not update Adobe Flash, or rather uninstall it...)

Some websites I use require Flash. On Chrome I mostly get can't load plugin. So I use Firefox. Which is there due to another pet peeve of sites that only work properly on certain browsers.

Why is barclay so annoying to deal with, do any normal people actually use their cards?

They actually come up with very good balance transfer checks. I keep the account solely for the flexibility that offers me in times of cash crunch.

I get a set of checks from them in the mail every one or two months with that offer. It's the Aviator card (which I got when AA US was flying to TLV. Once AA killed that route, I don't really have much use for them.

I wonder if they send those offers to everyone.
