Activating Credit Cards

[lsanderson]

Is it just me or are the scripts getting worse and worse?

I called Discover Card to activate a card. Got some airhead in Oklahoma City.

"Are you interested in Identity Theft Protection?" yadayadayadayadayada

"No, I'm not interested."

"Well, do you have Identity Theft Protection from some other source?"

"No"

"Well, yadayadayadayadayadayadayadayada"

"Madam, is there something about 'No' that you do not understand?"

"Well, I'm just trying to help you... I can send you this introduction package... yadayadayadayadayadayadayadayada"

"If my card is activated, thank you, and goodbye." Click. GRRRR

It's not *that* new, I've been getting it pretty consistently the last couple of years.

I *is* that annoying. Still.
