You guys are getting 15%? I always assume that these things are like "If you spend an entire month shopping here you might get a coupon for a chance to get £5 off something you weren't going to buy anyway".

Common to get a big discount on the first purchase. That way it looks something like “just take 5 minutes to sign up here and you’ll get $30 off your purchase today”. I feel bad for the staff that have to push it, which gets me frustrated because I just want to buy my things and go, so I end up being rude to them.

I think part of the solution is to add some regulation that say that you should be able to close the account in the same way you open it. Let me sign up, get the $30 discount, pay the bill, close the account, and have them delete my personal information so I can do it over again next time. Few people doing that and it won’t be worth the effort for business to process everything.

The one time discount actually works against me. I'll decline a card offer so I can save the one time discount for a possible big purchase later on.
