			Wayne, Have you considered offering your customers a Pelican Credit Card? A Visa which you could earn points from every purchase and double points when you use the card on a Pelican purchase. I am sure you have explored this.....just curious. Jim

			Wow, even Wayne gets pwnd sometimes.  Next time I won't feel so bad when my measly 4 figure card isn't as important to Citi as I think it should be.

			Thanks for the CC # anyway.     PS, can you give me the 3 digit no. off the back? I know, it's not real I'm surprised that the email didn't say something about the Porsche thing. You know how they are.... | ||

			Wayne,  Just call your business banker on the credit card idea. If they are any good at all, they can get it all set up for you. I imagine the extra revenue you could earn from incremental sales off points from card usage elsewhere would make it all worthwhile.

			I wouldn't take a Capitol One card if it had wheels and drove. What a crappy company to deal with.

			I don't understand how they can have the audacity to reject your request for a image card in the same sentence that they tell you "thank you for being a capital one customer" that kind of canned condescending bullcrap just pisses me right the hell off! screw them and their stupid tag line... "what's in your wallet?" Duh, not a capitol one card, Arseholes!

			if you want to have your eyes opened regarding the credit card industry try renting "Maxed Out" a documentary on the current credit card industry and how and where they make thier money.  Maybe not a lot of info. that you don't already guess but there are some things brought out, e.g. why the credit history industry doesn't make it easy to fix incorrect entries.  90% of people have errors in thier credit history.
