I was screwed by a credit card company I used to work for. Is it wrong to enlist the help of the internet community to sign up for their card with the intention that when you get the card you just cut it up.
If we get 100,000 applications ( I have a code assigned to track this) whereby nobody is using the card - I think they might get the message.

as part of our 'settlement' i get a small commission fo revery application - whether the card is approved or not. and that is why i don't care whether it is used or not, too.

If you can get 100,000 people to actually do something you ask them to, I would use that ability for something constructive.

Umm... wouldn't that be bad for everyone's credit rating though? You shouldn't sign up for credit unless you intend to use it. Everytime you apply it's a hit on your credit account, and it's ideal to have as few hits as possible (unless you are shopping for a mortgage, etc.). It also doesn't look good to open and close credit accounts within a short amount of time. I don't think it's mean to the credit card company, I think it's useless and bad for your personal credit.

I think that could it a little mean. Besides not to smart. Because if someone applies for the credit card, and the they don't use it, it is still on their credit report as open credit and could be used against them if they apply for another card or loan.

I think you are wasting your time, for absolutely nothing.
But if this is how you want to spend your time. Be my guest.
To the credit card companies you are just a number like with any other person.
But if you think they did do you wrong, then hit them where it hurts .LEGALLY....

Yes, it's mean...and besides the credit card company would have no way of knowing the cards were cut up...that is unless you mailed the cut up cards to them, to see it...

I think its alot of work and you don't know if the people actually plan on cutting up the cards. It may not make a difference at all.

My advice would be to let it go. Spend your time on something more productive than getting revenge. If they really screwed you, take them to court or file a report with the respective gvmt agency (depending on what your grievance is).

Two wrongs don't make a right. If you really got screwed then report them to the Better Business Bureau http://www.bbb.org/

I don't think it's as mean as what that credit card company in particular did to you.

I am very immature and think you should send a picture of your butt to them saying kiss it and tell all your freinds to apply for their cards as well.
