Bank Error in your favor, collect $200

I love my bank. They pay me interest on my checking account and pay me a % back on my check card.

Today I was bored so I thought I'd see where the rewards balance was. I usually wait and redeem it once a year and go have fun with it. I make a point to pay as much as I can with my checkcard so I can get these rewards.

Your Reward Balance : $2.24.

Hmmm... after a year I usually have something like $40. Interesting.

So I decide to call

Agent: Well we changed that program in August of 2008, now it's only on selected retailers online.

me: August of 08?

Agent: Yes.

Me: So today is July 7th of 08.

Agent: "Yes ma'am".

Me: snicker snicker "Okay, well I'd like to thank you for letting me know the program changed, I really appreciate your due diligence in educating customers about program changes".

Agent: "Um, well, Um"

Me: "Um, good bye.

The worst part, she still didn't get that she had the date wrong. Silly!

Grrr... no free pair of shoes for me. Maybe I will sign up for the Harley card. Then I might get a chance to win a Harley.
