The most gratifying conversation I have had in a while
Me: “Hello Discovercard, I would like to get my interest rate reduced”
Discover Rep: “Im sorry Mr Craig, but your APR of 18% is the lowest we are offering for your account.”
Me: “Ive been a loyal customer for quite a while. Are there any promos available?”
Discover Rep: “No your account does not qualify.”
Me: “What do you mean, my account?”
Discover Rep: -Silence-
Me: “Ok nevermind, so you won’t even lower it a point?”
Discover Rep: “No, Mr Craig. I can help you pay it off faster with one of our enhanced automated payment plans.”
Me: “Would it be as fast as paying it off in full right now?”
Discover Rep: “No”
Me: “Ok, well Ill go ahead and do that then”
At which point, I did exactly that. Ahhh, feels nice. I used to think credit card companies got a bad rap, but recently I actually prefer payday loans even like those provided by www.cashloans.co.uk to some of the credit card companies.
