Egg on Face

[jacey]

I just had a letter to say that Egg are cancelling my credit card because... well no good reason really, just a lot of waffle. So I immediately thought: Help, have I missed a payment? Do I owe them money? But when I logged in to my account the card balance is sitting on a resolute zero. I don't owe them money at all.

It seems they are cancelling my account because, having been taken over by Citibank, they have decided that I am not the type of customer they want. I can only think it's because I don't spend enough money on their card.

Now this really pisses me off, not because I need my credit card, I don't, (I barely use the thing except for a few convenience transactions), but because it seems that these days everyone wants me to exist on credit, to take out a loan, to spend more on yet another credit card.

What's wrong with living in the black?

What's wrong with living in the black?

Well, from their point of view, lots.

Yeah, but now they've lost any chance that I might go demented and put that secondhand Rolls Royce on my Egg Card.

Indeed. People who don't spend much, and worse, pay it off every month, are not *profitable* enough.
