I recently signed up for The Visa SIGNATURE Chase Freedom card, for one reason: it has a concierge service. [Tim note: In fact, all of the "Visa Signature" cards have this concierge service, among other benefits]

A credit card concierge service is much like a hotel concierge service, except you don’t have to tip. A concierge is your own personal assistant, someone who will do anything you want them to do: make dinner reservations, book a trip to Hawaii, or shop for negligees for your grandmother.

We’re so used to being treated badly by credit card companies that it’s almost impossible to believe that they are serving you. But that’s how it works: they’re your virtual assistants, ready to help you with anything.

Anything?


It's longish, so I figured if what I pasted wouldn't grab you, then you can't demand a refund for your time. What would you have done in his shoes? I would have asked for more cheese than that, that's for sure.

Funny read. I feel sorry for the servants on the other end of the phone.

I'd never get that service myself, mostly because I really don't like paying a monthly fee on my credit card. I also don't feel the need to get someone else to do my online shopping for me, and I definitely don't need someone to do my research for me. That guy, for most of what he asked for, was paying someone in China or India to Google stuff for him.

Admittedly, the tub o' nacho cheese request probably took a bit of time, and getting help with a crossword is just genius. The space travel and daily affirmations probably didn't take more than a couple minutes, though. I'm also one of those guys who likes to research stuff on the interwebs, so it'd be like paying someone to watch a movie for me: why pay someone to do something I like doing myself?

Edit: typing on a netbook keyboard makes you miss words, apparently.:(

I wonder how much they pay the concierge people at Visa Signature... That would be an interesting job.
