After all the hoopla with the Visa promo deal only being offered to specific new cardholders, I emailed customer service from Bank One to tell them how disappointed I was and to express my "sincere hope" that they intended to open the offer (or a similar one) up to a wider population. Mind you, it was a well thought out and polite letter, simply stating that, as a cardholder since Day 1, I have been excluded from atleast three promotional deals offered to "new applicants". I also let them know that there is a large number of people who are equally as displeased and considering cancelling their accounts. This is the response I got:

So should I compose a response to this? Or wait and see if they deliver any magic to my mailbox?
 
Write snail mail to someone higher up - and tell them you don't respond well to canned responses.
 
LoL - after I cut and pasted it, I realized the same thing. I mean, the EXACT sentences are repeated, verbatim. It's as if they just checked off "All apply" to a little mail merge response system.



Um, yeah. You've certainly made me feel better about Bank One's interest in keeping and satisfying loyal customers, Ms. Edmondson. :rolleyes:
