Bank issues credit card to cat

Thu Jan 4, 11:34 AM ET

SYDNEY, Jan 4 (Reuters Life!) - An Australian bank has apologized for issuing a credit card to a cat after its owner decided to test the bank's identity security system.


The Bank of Queensland issued a credit card to Messiah the cat when his owner Katherine Campbell applied for a secondary card on her account under its name.
"I just couldn't believe it. People need to be aware of this and banks need to have better security," Campbell told local media on Thursday.
The bank said the cat's card had been canceled. "We apologize as this should not have happened," it said in a statement.

She is THE main recipient of this thread!!!

On a side note, there are many musicians who get their valuable instruments (violin, bass, etc) a frequent flyer card and DO get the miles as they have to buy a separate ticket for the instrument.
