I have a new verse in an old rant. Oh joy!
It started in this old post about an existing store credit card I had that was provided by a name brand bank. The store switched all their cards to an abusive incompetent card issuer, then hijinks ensued.
The happy new news / rant is that effective today, my primary gasoline card has been switched from a trouble-free major name brand bank to … Yep, the same incompetent abusive turds as that store did. Evidently the issuer cuts a very advantageous deal for the merchant and makes up the difference against the consumer.
Unlike that store card I substantially never use, I buy gasoline about every 10 days. And I’m disinterested in switching stations or brands. So if I want their own-card spiff I need to keep using that card. OTOH, if they kill the spiff, I’m so gone. We’ll see. No sign of that … yet.
