I swing by the parents house today to pick up some school stuff that I had left from a few days ago, and grab the mail as I go into the house. The backside of the top envelope is from eBay, as it is advertising their Visa credit card. I flip it over expecting to see my name on it, but no, I see my dogs name instead. I find it hilarious, that ebay sent a credit card application to my dog.

What I did quite a few years back was set up a secondary account to bid on items when I was having problems with a particular bidder, to try and mask my movements and used my dogs name to register. Well Ive not used the account in probably 4 years plus, and i guess they decided that a dead eBay account was deserving of a credit card application. When I who use my account often enough and have never gotten an application from them. Go fig.

My mom's credit card company called her last night to ask her if she really charged $10K on the internet two days before! She nearly crapped! Someone got her card number and charged $9K on one site and $1K on another!!

That reminds me of a cartoon or sit-com where a dog gets a credit card and the owners charge the hell out of it. Damn it though if I cant remember it :embarrassed:

And no one has asked the question yet....

...What is your dogs name?

And if I were you, I'd send it back and apply just to see what happens. Imagine the hilarity if you get the card and show your friends, PRICELESS.
