They Always Pay Big for Some Good Pussy

By mistake, American Express offers a card to kitty

As Americans' credit card debt steadily rises, card companies continue to dole out applications offering more. But how much consideration, if any, goes into the offers?

As one Glen Burnie woman learned, even her house cat is deserving.

Last month Marilyn Hecox's 4-year-old black domestic short-hair, Samson, received an offer for the American Express Rewards Plus Gold Card.

"At first it's funny. Then you get a little nervous about it," Mrs. Hecox said, sitting in her dining room and thumbing through the application with a puzzled look on her face while Samson sat at the door waiting to be let outside.

"As the membership criteria at American Express remains stringent, the Rewards Plus Gold Card is difficult to acquire for all but the most financially disciplined," the application letter starts off.

Really?

Ms. Hecox said Samson is a good boy, but has no financial history.

When I worked for Holiday Inn, one of the desk clerks turned to me with one in her hand and said (in a voice that carried) "is this real?" The most distinguished black gentleman at the counter in thousands of dollars worth of tailoring was NOT amused. I took over checking him in. (Kentucky, early '70s)

I once had an American Express Optima card in one of my pen names. I'd subscribed to the correct magazines in that name, so they sent me one of those "you've been approved!" things.

It's possible that the easiest way to get an American Express card is still to subscribe to art, culture or history magazines. That's what they used to use for their mailing list.

Funny thing is...

In the 80s diners club cards were the "prestige" ones.

You don't see them much now.

Remember the Playboy KeyCard? That was considered big-time hot back in "the days".

Even Bond James Bond had one!

They -- or someone -- should resurrect that concept.
