The comedy material I have received recently in the mail:
Offers from a local Honda Dealership for "Highest Trade- in price available towards the purchase of a new Honda." Not gonna happen.
"Credit card" offer--- PRE- APPROVED!!!--- for up to $1250 to be applied ONLY toward purchases in a catalogue provided by the same company, with luggage, and kitchen appliances, and Christmas wreaths that I can buy! And it only has a $500 "card- activation fee!"
Cash available to me now! I can have up to $2000 by TOMORROW... and the interest rate is 1,250.00% APR, to be paid over four years. I am not joking.
Various other credit card offers with "activation fees" and "annual fees," all due upon activation of the card, that exceed the "credit limit" of the card... I would pay more to just have the card in my grubby hands than I would to just buy the stuff!
And, companies send this stuff out because SOME people will think, "This is pretty awesome!"
