I'm diagnosed with cyclothymia, and have had my share of sprees. I think it's mainly a way to distract myself. Or sometimes I think "if I just have this I'll feel good". It doesn't work of course.
I was only able to (partially) conquer it by destroying all but one credit card and requesting that the credit line on that one be reduced to a very low amount. You can't spend what you don't have.
