    Also tries to sell a membership to "The Premium Club" at $3.95 per month, among other things, this membership includes automatic credit limit increase reviews, 48 hour emergency card replacement, access to emergency cash, free financial mgmt guide, free membership cards for savings at select retailers.

    Oh, and cardholder eligibility approve by P. Masters, Sr. Credit Officer.

    HA! I'll return the envelope with scrap paper or something. Wish I had some glitter or something....
