The Mother of All Wasteful Credit Card Offers - With Pics
Saturday, March 1st, 2008Just in case you haven’t seen it on the news or read it on countless blogs, there is a little problem out there with waste. We are wasting everything we can get our hands on, which, in turn, depletes the earth’s natural resources and fills up landfills. If I thought hard enough, I could probably go down the whole chain of events for you, but I am sure you can figure that out yourself.
Now, I realize we have all gotten stupid credit card offers in the mail. I am pretty sure about 1% of us actually asked for them. If you are anything like me, you feel guilty every time you either shred the offer or just toss the paper in the recycling bin. You do recycle, don’t you? Well, today, I received the mother of all waste…a credit card offer from Capital One WITH BUBBLE WRAP IN THE ENVELOPE!!! Yes, you read correctly. Today, I received a credit card off from Capital One that had bubble wrap in the envelope. For what reason? I have no idea. Maybe to protect the paper. You know what? Just look at the photos so you can see how ridiculous this has gotten…
Is it me? I have seen all kinds of scummy ways these companies try to trick us into thinking these wastes of paper are important. They use manila envelopes, clear envelopes, all different sizes of envelopes, envelopes that scream curse words at you and smack you in the face…but BUBBLE WRAP???
