And I thought it was bad how credit card companies were offering free pizza on my campus in exchange for a card application.

Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> 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.

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.

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> The local K-Mart in my neighborhood (St. Paul, MN) does this too--offer a 2-liter for applying for the K-Mart credit card. (But I think they DO offer Coke. Does that make it better?)

I'll see if I can remember to take a photo of the sign next time I'm in the store...

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> At least everyone is taking this post in the proper spirit. I'm not sure what is more pathetic... a premium in the form of a 2 liter bottle of pepsi or a walmart credit card.

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> What is wrong with it. At lest your gettings something. It seems like a good deal to me. Unless you are making well over $90 an hour, and the 1 minute is not worth it.

But if you were making more that $90 an hour, you probably would not be shopping at a walmart.

sonichghog

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> They should also give you a little plastic cup so you can celebrate your (potential) credit card with a deep draught (there ya go BDUDE, enjoy) of mmmmm-mmmmm Pepsi.

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> We spell it Liter because that's how it's pronounced. We don't say "LEE-truh" so why spell it Litre?

Pepsi tastes like crap! Coke all the way. Sorry Walmart I will just have to pass up on your offer. Maybe next time when you serve coke...... ;-)

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi?

I wonder what the statistics are on that card as far as number of late payments, bankruptcies, etc.

visualbowler

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> WOW! That's just about the most pathetic rewards/incentive I ahve ever seen offered for applying for a cradit card!

I wonder if this promotion idea came down from corporate or just some manager's idea? I'd like to think the latter, but....

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> @Phildawg:
I work at Best Buy, and corporate has been pushing us to sell their new mastercard. Approved applications fetch the store 90 dollars in profit. An additional $30 or so is added on when you add the Account Shield protection.

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi?

It's so damn cheezy when you realize how large a kick back the store gets off your application (35-40 dollars???).

Phildawg

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> While it says you have to apply for a credit card, it doesn't say it has to be theirs. Go in with a Target application and see what happens.

LatherRinseRepeat

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> They did this at COMPUSA stores too..

The liquidators are now selling them for 99cents and the pop is expired but it's still on sale... I wonder how much this tactic works..

Coder4Life

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> Same thing as when they give away free t-shirts at college campuses for applying for a Visa. Getting something -- anything -- for free appears to be a big incentive.

DrGirlfriend

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> I disagree. This is very funny. The same kind of funny that shiny, new $50K monster trucks inspire when parked in the dirt driveways of trashy double-wides.

clothingoptional

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> They do this at the K-Mart near me. Probably 99% of their customers are hispanic and don't really speak English very well. Their signs read "get a free gift" when applying, and the free gift is indeed a 2l bottle of Coke.

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> A whole 89 cent item. Go for it!

Making that sign must have cost more.

arkangel318

]]> <![CDATA[Need A 2-Liter Bottle Of Pepsi? Just Apply For A Walmart Credit Card!]]> The sign is misleading. They obviously show three bottles of delicious Pepsi, when the fine print reads that you only get one.

Tsk tsk Wal-Mart. I want my extra four liters.
