Dreaming in Meta

toddsampson:

Dear Citicard Platinum:

I’m sorry, but I have to break up with you.  I know we have been together for nearly 15 years.  But this time you have just gone too far.

I chose you as my card of choice for my recent trip to Europe.  I even called to let you know I was going to do so.  Despite the fact I called, you still didn’t work upon my arrival in London.  Yet I gave you some slack and took the incredible amount of time & money ($.79/minute from AT&T) on the phone to get it working.

But now, after I get home, I receive a notice that you are going to raise my interest rate to an insane 29.99%.  Shame on you, thinking you have me locked in at a high rate on that balance because I charged more than I normally do this month — even when I told you ahead of time why I was doing so.

I have paid all of my credit card balances to $0 each month for years — you have to know this.  Check my credit score and my bank account balances, I can’t believe many people have a safer risk profile than I do.

I assure you the card will be paid off in full again this month as always.  But you are loosing any money you ever would have made from me.  And hopefully from anyone who reads this.

So, in summary, fuck you.

Sincerely,

Todd
