LaZorra: Capital One just sent me a greeting card application. One of the designs they offer is "Constitution." I can't say I've ever seen that before — or that I've ever seen a credit card say so much about a period in history.
LaZorra: I can't imagine there was much demand for Constitution-themed credit cards pre-Tea Party.
ThePhan: Greeting card?
LaZorra: Er.
LaZorra: Yes.
Sentynel: Credit greeting cards - for the billionaires who can't fit their gift in the envelope in cash.
LaZorra: Capital One is now in control of all greeting cards.
LaZorra: If you ever want to wish someone a happy birthday again, you'd better take out an application.
Sentynel: Greeting card applications get mail-shot at you all the time, except when it's somebody's birthday or it's Christmas.
Sentynel: When you try and fill out an application when you actually need one, it gets rejected.
Sentynel: Furthermore, if you do get one, the terms and conditions charge you a yearly fee, despite you not using the card more than once.
Sentynel: However, you do get free air miles every time you send the card.
LaZorra: If you save enough miles, you can travel to wish the recipient a happy birthday in person.
LaZorra: (terms and restrictions apply)
LaZorra: (not valid outside of Memphis)
