Carter Franke Report, Part V

As you know, I have been tracking the piles of mail from various credit card companies, who are doing their part to keep the U.S. Postal Service in business. Between my last report and today, Capital One has seized a commanding lead.

The last several mailings from Capital One have included bonus refrigerator magnets. The theory appears to be that physical hunger will expand to include the urge to acquire additional credit cards, and only Capital One will be there to serve my need. I trashed the first four, but now I am giving them to the A-train, who values magnets more than currency.

Current standings:
Pat W. Johnston (Capital One): 20 letters (and six magnets!)
Carter Franke (Chase): 15 letters
Susan Sobbott (American Express): 7 letters
Matthew McKenna (Bank of America): 5 letters
Janine D. Marrone (MNBA): 10 letters
Thrivent Financial Bank, GM, Jeep, Sallie Mae, JC Penney (Other): 9 letters
