Banks.?s.to.the.world asked:


Of course the obvisious answer would be MONEY. Everyone would love to bank or open an account with a bank that gives free money. But lets put money aside for one second. What other ways can a bank get your attention and get you to be one of their customers? Lets start with products. Free checking, no atm fees, extended hours, better interest rates, no fees for overdraft or even give excellent customer service, etc… How can a bank better serve you? Now what about activities, giveaways, or promotions can a bank do to attract you? For example, kids events, charitity events, pens, sport bottles, food, vacation packages, gift certificates, etc… What kind of trinkets or goodies do you like to recieve from companies? So lets hear it people!! What will get your attention or attract you to start or change banks.

Both personal and small business credit cards would be helpful. Thanks!
I know through personal experience that American Express DOES require a SS# when adding additional cardholders (at least for personal cards), and that Advanta does NOT require a SS# when adding additional cardholders.

Personal experience with additional issuers would be helpful.
Please provide specific credit card issuers. Thanks!

dsd97008 asked:


When a person uses their debit card, it comes out of the bank right away. Say, for instance, you are overcharged and the clerk immediately does a credit, why does it take 2 or 3 days before the credit shows up in your bank account? Seems to me the credit hits the bank as fast as a debit.
