so i get this phone call the other day from some credit card company... my credit is already whacked but i've kept getting offers in my homtail inbox... so prior to the other day i was signing up for a $5,000 unsecured card on the web and then it got to the part where they were going to take $150 or so out of my bank account in order to 'activate' the card... i closed the browser window... so i get this call from these same people the other day and they want to give me a $7500 card with no activation fee... i'm all thinking... 'oh that greenie is brilliant... he's really going to inflate this baby big time.... they're giving the likes of me another $7500!...' (as well they should!... and $7500 should be just the beginning) ... well it turns out that the card is only for an online store that the credit card company has set up and... get this... after they assured me that there were no fees if the card went unused... then they started in on the thing where, 'if you want to buy something from our website with your card (the website being the only place the card is good at) then you just send us a check for about 25% of the cost of an item, then your card will take care of the rest...'.... so i'm sitting their reeling... finally i told them 'thanks but no thanks'... now myself i'm a bubble visionary... they should stoke those credit fires... send me the phreaking money!!... that's what i'm talkin'.... as it is, i'm doomed already... credit maxxed out in an all-credit economy...
