Title: Credit Card offer for $100,000
Post by: NCSunshine on Sep 28, 2003, 07:05 PM
 Received a credit card offer from Disney Visa for $100,000.  Started to just tear it up and throw it in the trash, but just wanted to read and see what they had to say.
 
 Took it to my DH and told him I wanted to get this card, he said " Yeah, right."   I said " Your not reading the application" .
 
 It was for our 9 year old daughter[:D][:D][:D]

 NCSunshineI got one of those today too.  Except mine was addressed to the Parents of Jacqueline Cantrell (which is me, I am 36 years old).  It has been a long time since my parents took out a credit card for me.[:D]

 wahooncThis is very interesting, my 13 yr old received a credit card offer through Disney also last week and I was not happy about it.  We had made reservations through Disney a few months ago for Camp Wilderness.  I don t like that they are now marketing my teen and I hope they don t now sell off her name to other marketing groups.   Personally I m not happy about it.  Do I contact Disney directly to complain?

 I did that, but went as far as to use the dogs birthdate. The funny part is my dog is under 21 and it was for a game sight.
 I then got directed to the childrens games area when logged on!!!!

 That would be a good place to start and tell them to take her/you off all marketing list.

 NCSunshineIf you stressed her minor age status, they should accomodate you.  I would think that Disney has to be thinking about potential liability for these kinds of things if they didn t make nice with you.
