This is not funny. This is sad. Very, very sad. They should at least offer Coke.
]]>LOL!
And I thought it was bad how credit card companies were offering free pizza on my campus in exchange for a card application.
]]>I would have preffered a free helmet, that way people would know why you would do something that stupid.
]]>Uh.. no. Pop doesn't expire for a bloody long time.. there is no way they would have anything that old.
]]>Meanwhile, Safeway was advertising turkeys for as low as 29 cents a pound.
So open a whole freakin' checking account and have a _chance_ to win a $3.48 bird. Nice.
]]>I saw a promotion like this once at a Wal-Mart, except instead of Pepsi you got a GUN. I AM NOT KIDDING FOLKS. Any guesses as to which fine state I was in?
]]>This just makes me sad.
I heart Dave Ramsey.
]]>On college campuses, beer would be the better incentive. The cheaper (Natural Ice, Milwaukee's Best, Mickey's) the better.
]]>@sonichghog
After you've paid the interest on your first months statement, you won't think that long, gone, Pepsi was worth it. Also, as stated above, the ding on your FICO score, if you are still using credit for anything but a home.
]]>Meijer offers this as well with an even better beverage.
Coke.
]]>Nothing in walmart ever takes just one minute.
]]>I'll see if I can remember to take a photo of the sign next time I'm in the store...
]]>At least everyone is taking this post in the proper spirit. I'm not sure what is more pathetic... a premium in the form of a 2 liter bottle of pepsi or a walmart credit card.
]]>Darn, now I want some Pepsi. (Pepsi over Coke!)
]]>What is wrong with it. At lest your gettings something. It seems like a good deal to me. Unless you are making well over $90 an hour, and the 1 minute is not worth it.
But if you were making more that $90 an hour, you probably would not be shopping at a walmart.
]]>They should also give you a little plastic cup so you can celebrate your (potential) credit card with a deep draught (there ya go BDUDE, enjoy) of mmmmm-mmmmm Pepsi.
]]>I've seen it before, down in florida a few years ago some kiosk at a mall was offering a 24 pack of mt. dew if you applied. It was so odd that i had to go up and ask, turns out you only get the drink IF you get the card, not just for applying.
]]>@manok: lol thats a great idea! sadly, i would bet that it worked a few times though...
]]>@ XUGGLYBUG
Pepsi tastes like crap! Coke all the way. Sorry Walmart I will just have to pass up on your offer. Maybe next time when you serve coke...... ;-)
]]>Make it a 2-litre of Barq's and you've got yourself a sucke- I mean, deal.
]]>That would actually get some responses, methinks.
]]>WOW! That's just about the most pathetic rewards/incentive I ahve ever seen offered for applying for a cradit card!
I wonder if this promotion idea came down from corporate or just some manager's idea? I'd like to think the latter, but....
]]>They should offer Coke, you say? I beg to differ; Pepsi is so much more awesome.
]]>The KMart near me offers a $1.00 off COUPON for candy for applying for a card.
]]>Ok nevermind, I didn't notice that it was a 2 liter pepsi. yum yum mmm. Where is the credit card appy
]]>Oh God not pepsi please anything but pepsi
]]>The liquidators are now selling them for 99cents and the pop is expired but it's still on sale... I wonder how much this tactic works..
]]>Same thing as when they give away free t-shirts at college campuses for applying for a Visa. Getting something -- anything -- for free appears to be a big incentive.
]]>Making that sign must have cost more.
]]>oh god. not sam's choice! anything but sam's choice! I'll even drink pepsi!
]]>Tsk tsk Wal-Mart. I want my extra four liters.
]]>
