A surprise was in the mail last night: a gift from EmigrantDirect.
Nothing big or fancy, but I take it as a gesture from EmigrantDirect of being their customer for the past year.
So what’s the gift? It is a small writing pad with my name printed on every page, the kind of gift that you will receive when, for example, making a donation. Accompanied with the gift is a letter which writes:
You made our re-launch the success it has become. We hope you’ll be a member of the EmigrantDirect family for many years to come. As a gesture of our gratitude, please accept the enclosed gift from EmigrantDirect. Thank you for your business.
The “re-launch” refers to the re-launch of their website a couple of months ago with added security features and much easier to use interface.
While I appreciate the gift, they could have made me even happier if they had maintained their 5.15% APY instead of cutting it down to 5.05%!
BTW, from the letter, it seems that you need to login their new website in order to receive the gift, if you haven’t done so.
I did, I think it’s nice. I’m updating my notes on it right now!
