One more reason I'm glad I'm in a credit union.
Got a letter from my Credit Union, and they set me up with a $400.00/year discount with my car insurance company.

When was the last time Citibank got you a discount on anything? I thought not.

I love my credit union.

1. Mine just sent a letter lowering the interest rate on my credit card
by 1%. I love my credit union too. :D

2. I'd join one if I could.
I've checked. Nothing available to me. :(

3. Stop spamming.
Seriously. I've been screwed by the same scum in credit unions as in banks. If there is one you are getting good service from, say their name, but stop speaking out for other one's that suck with these general statements.

4. I didn't give the name
because I didn't want to be accused of spamming. And this is the first post I've made about my credit union ever, here, thank you.

If you must know, this is the one I deal with:

5. Thank you!
I will pass on word about that CU to those in the area. But it is the second post on this page about Credit unions. The first being here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=2024328&mesg_id=2024328

I'm just saying your special case isn't always the general case, (see my post on that page) so it does matter who specifically is doing a good job to their customers. In this economy we need to reward all the people doing the right things.

Unexpected and unplanned.

11. I understand.
I thought you were behind both, my bad. Though I gotta say, it does seem like we are all a bit more synchronized than perhaps we'd like to be these days! hee hee. I blame the Internets.

Peace.

7. Been out for a while now and never looked back...
We've got a GREAT CU~ and I love the fact that the banksters
no longer see one dime of our money.

9. Same here!
As soon as the Alabama Credit Union opened a branch in our little town I signed right up.
