Today, I received an envelope from verizon. I assumed it was my bill. I opened it and saw a visa credit card offer so I quickly snapped it in half to prevent identity theft. Only after playing with the pieces for 10 minutes did I realize that it was my $100 rebate from my new phone. FML

Not to mention they could EASILY get the number for the card
not to mention they couldn't just immediately snap it in half

"hello, verizon? i received the $100 visa gift card, but it looks like it suffered some damage in the mail and won't be useable. could you cancel that one and send me a new one?"
come on, people, think.

YDI because Verizon doesn't send you promo visa cards, visa sends you promo visa cards

yes. verison sends out 100$ visa gift certificates as rebates. and there is always the scratch off code on the back for online purchases. although all of the op's facts are correct. if they actually had the card they wouldve seen the code. i say fake.

Next time, try to read something before you destroy it.

not only destroy it but PLAY with the pieces for 10 mins.....fail
OP is probably very immature and has no knowledge of the real world if he (or she) was that quick to snap up a credit card

I did something like that before. I thought I got a new credit card, left it around for months, only to realize it was a rebate card after it had expired.

What exactly was your thought process? I'm thinking either:
"QUICK! Somebody could come into my house, rip the credit card offer out of my hands, run out and go redeem it in my name! I better snap it in half (because that's completely irreparable and would foil the thief) before reading it!"
Or:
"QUICK! I've opened the envelope so now spy satellites can see it through the window! I better snap it in half (so they can't see it anymore because spy satellites don't actually record anything they see) before reading it!"
