And now with 3% cash back - Beeg_Dawg - 01-19-2022

we bring you the Stanford Fan Athletics Rewards Visa credit card.  I assume everyone got the same offer.  

Good gawd, is there any agency, company or institution that is NOT hawking their own credit card? Et tu, Stanford?

As a fan, the only reward I expect is a level of coaching and playing worthy of the university's name on the uniform.

Not going to lie, I opened this thread fully expecting to hit the "purge spammer" button. Is this what we've come to, Stanford!? ;)

 So what if they have an $30 Billion endowment.  More is needed.  Right?

Pretty sure the Stanford Federal Credit Union is an entirely separate entity from the University....

Could be worse, they could be hawking Stanford branded skin cream:

Well, we know what to expect for SWAG when renewing season TIX.

There are some VC and art investment groups out there trading on mentions of Stanford alumni trying to solicit funds.  I've been meaning to ask the alumni association where the line is drawn for the alumni brand.

The credit card perks are just sad.  There are other cards out there with better offerings.  I customize my debit card with a photo I took of MemChu (no, I don't really use it either).
