Express Yourself. Personalize your card with an image of your choice.
That is the claim made by Capital One for anyone who wants to have a personal photo put on a Capital One credit card. You can even design it yourself online with a photo you upload.
But you cant use a hunting photo. Capital One considers them unacceptable.
Thats what Lou Hinger of Hamburg, N.J., found out when she tried to design a credit card using a photo of her husband Frank, dressed in hunting gear, posing with a deer he had taken last hunting season.
Hinger received an e-mail from Capital One that said, in part:
Sorry, we were unable to approve the image you submitted. We will not approve any images that contain the following: Violence, hatred, or cruelty to humans or animals, profanity obscenities or any type of death imagery.
We are livid, says Hinger, as we are God-serving Americans who hunt to feed our family. In these economic times our family is fed by hunting, and its horrible to be associated with words like hatred or violence.
I tried to call for an explanation twice; no one will get on the phone. Also, their terms are vague. However, someone took the time to specifically write that response pertaining to our image.
