This is not funny. This is sad. Very, very sad. They should at least offer Coke.

After you’ve paid the interest on your first months statement, you won’t think that long, gone, Pepsi was worth it. Also, as stated above, the ding on your FICO score, if you are still using credit for anything but a home.
On college campuses, beer would be the better incentive. The cheaper (Natural Ice, Milwaukee’s Best, Mickey’s) the better.
Jeez, at least when you sign up for this shit at a baseball game you get a jacket or a jersey or a blanket or something. A bottle of soda? Really?
This just makes me sad.
I heart Dave Ramsey.
I saw a promotion like this once at a Wal-Mart, except instead of Pepsi you got a GUN. I AM NOT KIDDING FOLKS. Any guesses as to which fine state I was in?
The bank in the lobby of my building (Citizens Bank, in Philadelphia) had signs all around the lobby and even sent an email to all tenants in the building (28 stories’ worth of them) announcing that if you opened a checking account in November, you would be entered into a drawing to win a 12-pound turkey.
Meanwhile, Safeway was advertising turkeys for as low as 29 cents a pound.
So open a whole freakin’ checking account and have a _chance_ to win a $3.48 bird. Nice.
@Coder4Life:
Uh.. no. Pop doesn’t expire for a bloody long time.. there is no way they would have anything that old.
Make it a liter of beer and Im sold.
I would have preffered a free helmet, that way people would know why you would do something that stupid.
Actually, K-Mart did this last summer. Except with a wider variety of soda, albeit all Pepsi products.
“This is not funny. This is sad. Very, very sad. They should at least offer Coke.”
LOL!
And I thought it was bad how credit card companies were offering free pizza on my campus in exchange for a card application.
Does Pepsi donate the product for these promotions? If so, yet another company to add to my boycott list.
@Raiden47:
actually, it expires in a couple of months . not as long as you think. look at the date sometimes.
