Screaming Bean
Friday, May 12, 2006

Proving that my brain just isn't where it should be currently, let me tell you a little story about yesterday. Went and got the mail and got a mailer with credit cards in them. You know the ones, they're from Wilmington, DE in non-descript envelopes, everything that just screams "there's Credit Cards in here!" Took inside and opened them, and found that Discover Card has sent us new cards. The justification was that they were changing the code on the back of the card and improving the magnetic strip for our protection. And if it's for your protection, isn't that a good thing? (That's what the NSA was trying to say yesterday...but I digress.) I can never remember whose phone number is registered to the card, so I had my spouse call. (We don't have a home number, we both have separate cell phones and no landline.) Punch in the number on the sticker and get a person only to realize that the cards themselves had no numbers on them. We had a name, an expiration date, but no actual credit card number printed on the face of the card. Now that's what I'm talking about for credit protection. No one can defraud you, you keep the number in your head! Turns out it wasn't as cool as all that, that Discover had slopped up and shipped a bunch out to people with no numbers. I want to take the card and use it, but I guess it's not activated, and I still have an active old card. But shouldn't I have noticed when I opened the envelope? I had identified the envelope as a credit card one, but totally spaced on the card part. I need help people...the brain is gone!
