Respond today - you are Pre-Approved!* I'm still dying..... They are killing me softly! Where's that trash can again? Mom? Bunny?
This was the little love note I was referring to in SofaKing's post. My hubby got this offer yesterday. I guess they did a mass mailing. I feel jilted though, I didn't even get this offer...<sniff, sniff> That's okay better I am not on their mailing list!
If somebody who didn't know better...with $100,000++++ income 750 F.I.C.O. + APPLIED, would they really give them the card with all the fees and a laughable low credit line???
Sure, CCB values customers the way a vampire values warm blood. I got a few CCB solicitations before I ever knew about this site or any other credit message board. It was obvious to me that it was a scam, just from reading about the outrageous fees. The bizarre appearance of the card, which looked more like a cartoon illustration than a financial instrument, was another big clue. It comes as no surprise that any bank that assumes its customers are dumb, and treats them with contempt, is also capable of throwing in a few(?) illegal acts to squeeze some extra money out of certain people and further increase their "value" as customers.
yah they advertise like first premier bank does. looks like an important envelope, but cheesier. My gf gets them, i don't, i must be pretty bad, she has like 3 platinum cards and a new car. Wonder why they send that crap to her and not me.. hmm..
Before I was enlightened, I was one of the unfortunate holders of a CCB card. A couple years ago, I paid the small remaining balance, canceled the card and cut it into pieces. Richguy, you got my attention when you said the card actually looked like the joke it is. During the time I had the confounded thing, I never asked anyone to describe it. (I was too embarassed and I don't have the ability to look at it myself.) hehehehehehe Thankfully , I had the good sense not to use it out in public. What I did was use the card for a few over-the-phone purchases and a couple orders via the net. Anyway, I've enjoyed the laughs over this card. I'm so glad I don't have it anymore! Donna
Truly special. Tell us, is he also on the mailing lists for "free" vacations and catalog "gold" cards? I went through that about two years ago, and I thank God it's over now. I guess my name isn't hot anymore.
