A Letter from my Stupid Bank

Front page of letter reads,

"Dear Mashreq Gold Member; we are very pleased to upgrade your Gold Visa Credit Card with a Platinum Visa Credit Card. You may enjoy ultimate benefits with our new Platinum Card."

This is the stupid letter i got from my stupid Bank where i am a regular customer, since 8 years.

I upgraded my life time free Gold Card to the Platinum Card last year and this year they automatically deduct 500 QAR as a annual fees on this card. When i picked up this letter again today, i noted some thing printed in very light and small fonts on the back side. Bought a special enlarging mirror to read this.

Yes it was written that annual fees will be charged.

Why these DAMM BLOODY Bankers can not print that major information on the front page.

Thank you so much for this post.

Actually i have received a call from dubai (Mashreq dubai office ) for platinum card delivery. i didnt know what it was all about, i thought they just want to replace my card.

Just because of this post, now i called them and cancelled and stopped the delivery.

Thanks once again.

that's the reason why i close my Mashreq and switched to another bank. In fact, all the banks are crazy, but Mashreq really sucks.

same is the issue with mobile network providers, they use 25 size font in ads on front page stated that call @ .50 anywhere in the world but in very small font on same page or screen which need a special glasses to read stated that "only for 10 seconds"... lolxxx
