Bank Point Rewards

[dimetime]

Just yesterday my old man had to stop in at his bank to get a new debit card. His was splitting down the middle and had to be replaced.

Any way while he was in there I guess the manager he was speaking to tried selling in on a few account upgrades for some kind of point rewards. If ya ask me it is all a bunch of shit because the programs that he was offered would either cost him $10.00 to $45.00 per month or offered him dumb rewards like gift cards for restaurants.

It is just another scam created by banks to help them rip their own customers off of even more money than they are already getting. It is a shame. These banks should be forced to stop this crap because it isn't right at all!!!

Banks and other institutions seem to always be coming up with ways to part us with our money.......this sounds like just another one of those schemes.

The problem is that many people, especially the elderly are really vulnerable when it comes to their banks. A bank is supposed to be one of those places that we can trust, after all we do keep our money there to be safe and we should be able to trust them, right? What we sometimes forget is that a bank is just another business and we need to treat it as such. They too are out to make as much money as possible.
