So, checked my mail yesterday and what did i get, 6 letters all from Citi - advertisements to sign up for their credit cards. Well, number one i've already had a Citi card for over 2 years, and two why in the hell are they wasting money sending me more ads (6 in 1 day) when i'm already doing business with them?

The dumbest ones are the spam that you can't even understand. They dismember the wording (to get around the filters) so badly that you don't know what they're trying to sell. WTF is the point then ?

My credit card company (MBNA) regularly sends me credit card applications. You'd think they'd at least check to see if I'm a account holder and save 37c.
