Shades Of The Old Days When We Account-Holders Were King

WTDirect - May your actions be a sign of things to come

Today, completely out of the blue, came a FedX-delivered gift from WTDirect where I've had an account for about 6 months. This completely unsolicited surprise was in the form of an attractive box which, tied with a yellow ribbon, contained a set of 2 beautiful Reidel Tumblers from Tiffany & Co.  A card in the box said, "Enjoy this gift, along with our sincere appreciation for saving with WTDirect."

The value of the gift is of no consequence, but the fact that this bank took the trouble and expense to send this unexpected message of appreciation, has given my morale a boost. It can't help but remind me of the good-ole-days when we got toasters, cameras, radios, etc for opening an account or adding significantly to an existing one (and even got respectable interest rates)  It's unlikely that my current pleasant experiene is heralding better times to come, but it was such a pleasant surprise that I thought I would share it with you.
