That's the kind of case I was talking about. When I was just out of
the air force as an enlisted man, didn't have any money, and didn't
have a job I was still able to get a credit card.

there are also loopholes and other oddities that appear if you
look close enough.

easier to complain than do what it take to get what you want.
