QVC’S BIRTHDAY GIFT

Shanus — Fri, 15 Jun 2018 16:03:52 GMT

I received an email revealing Q’s 32nd birthday gift: if I open a Q Card account, I get $32 back.

That’s so much better than lower prices, free shipping, extra easy pays, etc.

I knew they’d do something so special that would benefit the customer. Not!

Maybe I should close my account & open another in DH's name just to get the $32 off. LOL!!!

Of course they are. I closed mine. Never used it. I have cards that give me money back. Q Card gives you nothing but easy pays. I would rather have a card that I get something back.

@BalletBabe: I agree. I use credit cards that give me cash back rewards.

@Nightowlz: Lol! Many people don't realize this, but every time you apply for new credit, your FICO score goes down for about 6 months. I learned this the hard way! No more new credit cards for me, not that l need them anyway!

I received the same email and deleted it within seconds.

A friend of mine had a Q Card, paid on time for years, and then lost her job. She worked out a payment plan, made every payment as scheduled, and was put in Collections with no warning. It was a mess that took a long time to straighten out.

I have no need for a Q Card. I don't see one single advantage to having one, and never will.

@NYC Susan Why did her account go to collections if she paid each month?

She never found out. She had followed the payment plan exactly as agreed, and was shocked because she thought everything would be fine as long as she did that. Once it was sent to Collections, there was no going back - It was in their hands. It was a time-consuming mess, and she ended up negotiating a settlement amount.

@handygal2 I don't care if my credit score goes down. It seems to go up & down depending on if we owe any money or not. We have no debt so when I paid off my car it went down. Ridiculous. It's still over 800 so not concerned.

Several major credit card companies plus department stores have closed out accounts from non-use so I figured I would get that Sam's MC. They gave us $45 off our over $500 purchase.

Our Sears was closed from non-use but what do they expect they closed our Sears store. We had it since 1978.

While QVC shows no gratitude to its longtime customers / Q-card holders. "Birthday surprises" = no big deal and very disappointing.
