Our Bank Gave Us A Pie!
Posted on November 16, 2006 by Her and tagged rewards
Something extraordinary happened today: our bank gave us a pie! No strings attached, no rebates to fill out, no tricks just treats! Last year we opened an account at Meadows Credit Union when they offered a $120 bonus. They were super nice and way more personal than a regular corporate bank. I've been overall pleased with them. Today, I received a letter from them in the mail. It said,
A special thank you from MCU: Enjoy this special gift of a sweet Baker's Square Pie in appreciation of your eChecking relationship with MCU.
Enclosed was a gift certificate good for one pie at Baker's Square.
I am stunned. I think this might be the first time a company has ever made me feel like they really appreciate my business. I heart pie! I heart MCU!

Yes! A real pie! Real pie is better than a pie chart because pie comes in flavors like apple and lemon while a pie chart just tastes like...paper.

I work for one of the larger banks in the country. This company gives nothing away to existing customers. It seldom gives anything away to prospective customers. That's why this company is rich, rich, rich. And it doesn't care that the customer care is poor, poor, poor.

I don't receive anything from my bank, but that's better to me than receiving a gift certificate for a poor quality tin of "pie."

When I began reading this post, I thought you meant a pie chart. And I thought: well, that’s not all *that* peculiar: banks often include a little pie chart in their monthly statements. But you’re talking about an actual pie – an honest-to-God pie! Nice little perk. Well done.
