This makes me feel much better about the US Banking system...

I got an email today from Wells Fargo:

You Could Win Up To $30,000 By Switching To Paperless Statements

NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN THIS SWEEPSTAKES. SIGNING UP FOR ONLINE STATEMENTS DOES NOT IMPROVE THE CHANCES TO WIN

2 Three (3) cash prizes totaling $60,000 will be awarded as follows: (1) $30,000; (1) $20,000; (1) $10,000.

:dunce:My interpretation (albeit jaded and erroneous): If we can't help your investments earn money, we'll just have a raffle to give the illusion of wealth.

Hell, let's just let the State Lottery system take over the Banking System!! :dunce:

Both Credit Unions I use and two of my credit cards had similar 'sweepstakes'

Another effort to separate you from your stash.
