Seriously Credit Card Companies? Seriously?!
My last post was in September so it just goes to show how busy I've been. But I'm pretty annoyed or happy about a few things. So I thought I'd share. I recently got two credit cards, one for JC Penny and one for the Limited. Because my Bloomingdales card is maxed out. No...just kidding. I've had this new job for almost a year; I've paid off some bills so I figure I am financially secure enough to get these cards. Besides I work in a corporate office and people are starting to notice the holes in my sweaters. Again, I'm kidding. At any rate, both compaines require you to call to activate the card. But it's all a russe to get you to call to agree to some bogus fee you don't need. Pay Protection Insurance, Credit Card Protection Plan, like the devil it assumes many names. And like they devil to sweeten the pot they throw in something that you are programmed to think you need. A 40% gift card. But with the money they'll be charging you
