Why, why, why can I have a dozen milk jug rings but the cats ALWAYS want
the same one? I love to watch them at play with these - Nikki batts it all
over the house, meorrrrowing loudly to it all the while. Chessie perches
like a kangaroo, flings it high with both front paws and then does butterfly
dances with the ring.

OT is for the blank checks on other people's accounts which I received from
Discover today - I shredded mine immediately and then realized I had two
more sheets (they all came in my envelope) for people who live in my
vicinity.
Had their names, partial account numbers, credit limits, and 4 checks for
each which I can use for whatsoever my little heart desires!!! I'm making a
joke but it actually made me quite angry - had a hard time making the
Discover customer service. rep understand what the consequence could be but
when it sunk in, she was planning a call to their headquarters. Cruise
anyone???

Lorna..........Chessie & Nikki

Why do they want the same ring? It's like basketball, football, etc --
there is only one ball. MLB

Yeah, the first thing I do with a new credit account is call them and tell
them to stop sending me checks. If for some crazy reason I wanted them, I
could ask. Unfortunately, it seems that there's no way to do this before the
account is created, so there's a one-month window in which these things are
going through the mail.

One time, I got somebody else's bank account statement attached to my
own. All kinds of "useful" information on it. Sheesh!

And Monique, I didn't know you could stop these checks from coming. And
it actually works?! I'll have to try that.

Well, it's worked so far for me, both with my credit union and with MBNA. You
just call and tell them that you don't want any checks because you don't need
them and they have a substantial risk of getting into the wrong hands.

It's been a long while since I did this with my credit union, but I do
remember the MBNA discussion. They told me that it takes a month to process
this sort of request, but after a month I shouldn't get any more. And I
don't.
