Hey.

 

It's Randy Brown's first day on the job and he hasn't yet learned the difference between a Sapphire Preferred and a FREEDOM Platinum Prestige.

 

Cut him some slack.

I Have Way Too Many of These.

Citibank - Handing Out Credit Limits Like Candy

Something smelly phishy to me.   If it looks like a phish, swims like a phish, smells like a phish, then you're probably being phished.

 

And Randy Brown sounds more like an adult film star than a "Chase Freedom Account Representative"
