AirTran A+ Visa card from Barclay Card for Burton Stevens!
Yet again a credit card company notifies us of someone else's new Visa. AirTran A+ Visa card from Barclay Card (barclaycardus.com, of the Barclay's Group) notified us today of someone else's Visa approval. While Barclays claims to have a privacy policy, they don't seem to follow it nor do they give links to notify them of the problem.
Humorously enough BarclayCardus.com has this message on it today:
"At Barclaycard, we never stop envisioning new ways to help our partners cultivate customer loyalty."
We don't suppose that includes protecting AirTran's customers privacy.
