Review of tractorsupply
Signed up for Tractor Supply Credit Card. Received card in mail, which was issued by Citibank. Went to website listed on card to register card, which is redirected to a Citibank website. After entering information I am told my card can't be registered and to call them.Call them and they ask for a cell phone number so they can verify my identity by sending me a code within a text message. They then tell me they can't use that phone number as its not verified. Sending a text message to my phone is not going to verify my identity as phone carrier is not going to share this information with the credit card company unless they want to get sued by me. Their story is pure bunk.So then they ask for another number, which would be the landline I am talking to them on. They say they can't use that number because its not verified. Its the same phone number we have been using since 1974 (48 years) but they can't verify it. Then they tell me there is nothing they can do and that the bank will contact me by mail or email.I plan on contacting them again to not only cancel the Tractor Supply card but all my other Citibank cards. There is something seriously the matter with a company that can't help you after calling them 7-8 times.I'll go buy my parts online as I no longer care about the local store remaining open at all.I also tried to add the card to Tractor Supply's Preferred Plus Neighbor club and it asks for an expiration date for the card. Citibank didn't put an expiration date on the card so it can't be added. Totally dysfunctional retailer and credit card company!
Review of LinkedIn
I like LinkedIn for what it is: it allows people to showcase their professional experience, knowledge, skills, and ideas. However, I wish it would be more oriented toward professional work rather than becoming a news site. I think it should reign in its focus and scope, and that would make it more effective.I used to use them as a news source, but then I just got tired of it. I wish people were more focused on professional mentoring of others. It should be a minimal requirement or suggestion or something. I would like it to be more of a discussion forum for differing fields and professional interests, a place where people with similar backgrounds can truly come to discuss what they know, interesting trends in their fields, etc. That would help me give LinkedIn a full 5-star review.
