CSP Attention

Today, I went through Wendy's drive they and ordered my usual grilled chicken combo. When I get to the first window to pay, I hand the cashier my card. She takes it, slides it and then decides to question me. Literally.

Asking me how I got the card? Is there a number to call? How she "needs" to get herself a Chase and just literally HOLDING on to my card while this is going on.

Meanwhile, I just want my card, food and to go. I guess the whole appeal of the CSP is that it's just a means of paying for me but she took it way too seriously.

In an effort to be polite and get my card back, I said um I'm not sure but have a good day! Haha

Re: CSP Attention

I've had a few people asked me as well. The card is dinstinctive in the way that its a lot heavier than normal cards due to the metal core.

I usually tell them to just apply in the branch if they ask, but most of them seem to remember about this card from the TV ads Chase was advertising.

Re: CSP Attention

I live in NC and we don't have Chase locations here so I guess seeing one was a little out of the ordinary. I work for a major technology company and hardly ever see them myself haha.

You should tell her to visit myfico.com lol

 

Anyway, when I was at Nordstorm, this cashier dude kept looking at it and asked me if it's a metal, I said yes. I know they see a lot of card at Nordstorm, but a CSP is still special.

Re: CSP Attention

Today I was at the vet inside Petsmart buying some heartworm meds and the receptionist commented on how nice my CSP was! She noted that it was very "substantial" lol.

Re: CSP Attention

While at first it got attention, it's reached enough of a market penetration that it doesn't attract nearly as much attention anymore, but maybe it's because I live in the NY/NJ area where Chase branches are on every corner.
