The agency got a very small change to some mechanics of the system and the permie tractors were clapping like a load of sea lions being thrown a sprat in a zoo at theannouncement.
Of course BoA sold off that card company and the ethos might have been different in the London \ SE office.

The former will have rates dictated to you, in the large part. And the latter one can freely negotiate.
