Yes, let's keep this on topic. If you want to discuss credit cards, I suggest you go over here.

You are aware that "over here" is in this very thread?

Except in this case it really is over here.
Yeah, that's it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

here implies your current location, so "it is over here" is fine as is "come over here".

there implies someplace that isnt here.

come relates to motion towards here, go relates to motion towards there. you cannot "come over there" (no crude jokes guys!), nor can you "go over here".

As this thread can't possibly get any more sillier, this is perhaps the right time to further illustrate the concept, um, visually:
