Charge it!


Have you ever noticed that in ALL credit card commercials they swipe the card the wrong way/not on the strip side in order to show the company name.

That drives me crazy!


If you want to show off the brand name so bad, then move the magnetic strip. Don't just sit there and be wrong in all of your commercials.


I had to go waaay back in the day to find some of these commercials, but check out my proof below.

Editor's Note: After looking for about 45 minutes, these were the only ones I could find online, but trust me, you'll notice it all the time now. It's on pretty much every commercial where a swipe is involved. So wrong.
