another credit card company complaint

here's is today's complaint:

I admit to being something of a dinosaur when it comes to paying bills. I write checks. paper ones. and yes I pay the 39 cents to mail it in. i like hard copy.

so when i sit down to pay a credit card bill, there is this annoying little advertisement on the back of the envelope that one must tear off before sealing the envelope. this is not a benign little thing-- it not only adds a step to the bill paying process and wastes my time and adds to junk in my wastebasket, clogging landfills etc., but it also creates a likelihood that i will forget about it and seal the envelope flap onto IT-- which makes it very likely that the envelope will get chewed up in the post services' many machines, get lost, etc. etc. and even if you catch it before mailing, it is a real pain trying to unstick it and seal the envelope. out comes the scotch tape. like i have time to do that.

I make a conscious point of boycotting any company that uses this advertising medium, and i invite you to do likewise-- my blog for today! --jl
