scorch Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 So I checked my mail last night and one of my banks sent me a birthday card. I didn't even know they had my birth date (Nov. 21st 1985)Here's what the card said,Your birthday is a special dayA celebration of you!It's the perfect time to wish you joy In everything you doHappy Birthday from the staff ofColorado East Bank & TrustThis is the first birthday card I have received this year and I appreciate the thought.I obtained a loan with them through an OC in order to pay a debt.There was no credit check. The interest rate is 6.25%. The loan is due on the 28th of each month, but there's a ten day grace period. Meaning if I'm nine days late with a payment I'm still OK and it doesn't count as a late. These guys have been so cool!As far as the birth day card goes, does anyone else bank do that kind of thing for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHK Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Was it personally signed by your branch?Whenever I get birthday cards from my CU, they are "mass" produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgman72000 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I got a birthday card from my CU (EECU) with the staff signatures from my local branch and a card from Compass Bank that was mass produced. But supposedly it's the thought that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenous Wolf Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I don't think I have ever gotten a birthday card from one of my banks or credit unions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrow Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Havent gotten into birthday cards, but Ive already handwritten Christmas cards to send out and ALWAYS do handwritten "Thank you" cards to all of my clients.It makes me feel good by doing so, as I know I would feel the same receiving one.

jq26 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I get a birthday card from my local True Value hardware store. Free $10 worth of stuff. I think I got a free roll of trashbags for my 31st birthday this year. Shake and bake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
