What A Nice Surprise

The other day I received a letter from T-Mobile thanking me for being in the top 5% of longtime customers. Some may say that I am a T Mobile customer because of the T. Actually, I was first an Aerial customer and somewhere along the way they got purchased by someone who was then purchased by T-Mobile.

So anywho...I read the letter and it said that I needed to register by 12/24/08 to get a Free Companion Flight. What I have to do is buy a ticket and then I get a companion ticket. I wonder how many friends will kiss up to me between now and February 2010. I put this task on my To Do List for 12/23/08.

So... tonight I get the mail and there is another letter from T Mobile and it says something about thank you on the envelope and I figure it is a reminder to register so I don't open it.

So... I decide to go to T Mobile's website and register for the airline ticket but I can't find the link that I need. So... I open the letter I received today and it has something stuck to it. I'm a bit perplexed because it looks like a credit card or something.

So... I look at it a bit closer and it is a pre-loaded $50 debit card! And once again they are thanking me for being in the top 5% of longtime customers. So... I think there has got to be a catch and I am trying to read the fine print but I can't find anything that says this is too good to be true.

So... I call the toll-free number to see if there really is $50 loaded onto the card and sure enough there is!!!! What's funny is that just this morning I thought, "Wouldn't it be nice to just get an extra fifty bucks to spend on Christmas presents or on myself?" Heck. If I had known something like this was going to happen I would have wished for an extra $1000 delivered by Hugh Jackman.

So... if anyone from T-Mobile is reading this, "THANK YOU!" It really was a nice surprise.
