Worst rip off as of late: Maybe it's just me but: [View all]
Today I went shopping for birthday gifts for my teenage granddaughter. Quick trip to Macy's for a goodie she wanted, then a stop at CVS to pick up a gift card.
I wanted a gift card she could use anywhere so I looked at the Visa cards, plus a few others.
Geeze.
Who'd a thunk it! Activation fee for the non-store specific cards--$5.95. $50.00 card, add 6.00 to the cost to activate. Heck with that. Went to the bank and got a $50.00 bill.
These credit card companies get the money anyway, where is the justification to charge to activate the card.
Never again, I'll send cash or a check.
To me, this was a total rip off.
