well not really, they're safeguarding their client base. their goodwill in the marketplace is huge so they have no real need to scavenge for business or even offer any inducements to take up their card...besides, they have subsidiaries like monument for their sub-prime credit card lending

So that why they send me a pre-approved application form, then didn't bother to get back to me when I returned it.....
