Prior to the 2008 bank meltdown, it was fairly common to receive unsolicated credit cards in the mail.

I used to get a few a year, mainly from Cap1. I never activated any of them. The CCCs were much

more aggressive in those days and sending a card ready to activate was an aggressive marketing

ploy.

 

I haven't had any credit cards show up in my mailbox unannounced in quite a few years. I don't recall

any bank other than Cap1 and Citi doing it to me back in the easy credit days. The cards sent were never

really attractive, the best cards weren't marketed that way.

 

I'm sure that Chase isn't send out CSP's unsolicated. That would be crazy.


BoA did just this with my Mother prior to 2008. She had a large balance in her savings account and they would just send them to her.

Will go ahead and guess that your management at work added him on their CSP as an AU so he can make work related purchases.

Re: So my friend randomly received a CSP

So dis you guys didn't out yet?
It can't be someone added him as AU, because AU cars sent to whoever added him's place for security reason...

But if it's a business card then maybe
