More Rants

January 30, 2009

I got another call yesterday from a credit card company, urging me to apply for seven (seven!) supplementary cards for my existing Visa card. I was sleeping when the call came so, naturally, I was quite irritated. I had to tell the customer representative that, no, I’m not interested in getting any of that. Then I remembered my mother could use one, so I just told the CSR to send me one. She insisted that I get another since the annual fee will be waived anyway, and I almost did that pretending the signal is breaking up so you can hang up routine. Anyway, I thought that was settled. I didn’t want to get more credit cards because, hello, it’s gonna be used and I’m gonna pay for them. It’s not as if I have the option to buy structured settlements if everything goes haywire with my expenses. I’ve just read about this cash for structured settlements thing, and I’m not actually sure if it applies to credit card balances. According to Wiki, cash for structured settlements is a form of making periodic payments for settling financial obligations. Anyway, the following day, another call came from yet another CSR, urging me again to get the six more supplementary cards so I can be qualified for the London raffle tickets. I’m really sorry, but I had to laugh because it’s not as if I’ll get swayed by such an offer. Besides, I told the CSR that I’m not likely to have anything to spend for a London trip so I really, really won’t get those cards he’s shoving into my throat.

ha, ha! kg, i need to review my HP.
If horcruxes are used to attain immortality, i think 7 supplementary cards will do the opposite :)
