My bank has decided to start making decisions for me. They've sent me a cheerful letter telling me that they're going to swap my credit card of type X with one of type Y with a brand new number. For my benefit, honest. This will all happen unless I call them and get the marketing spiel on why this is the greatest change ever to happen to me.
Er... No.
I have a number of things set up to do automatic billing from my credit card. If I'm going to have to change all those, I'm going to go one step further and finally get around to looking for a better deal with my banking. Congratulations. You've taken someone who's been a customer since they were a child and incentivised them to tell you to go to hell. Seems like a sensible response to the current financial crisis to me...
