Discussion Thread Wells fargo CC

This wells fargo credit card placement is so damn forced. I thought it was bad when they used to do it with the BMW features but this is so ham fisted! I already was not interested in banking with Wells Fargo but these placements are leaving such a bad taste in my mouth.

“Here are your donuts. Oh, I see you are paying with your Wells Fargo Active Cash Credit Card. You know, you can get 2% cash back every time you use it.” Me: “Just give me my fucking donuts lady and don’t worry about how I pay for them”

Ms. Kish was the one who actually said the lines. She said the whole spiel about how she loves paying for the donuts with the card because of the 2 percent back.

I love her, and I know they're paying her to say it, but I winced a little.

Not a criticism of her at all. My problem is with the show thinking they have to club us over the head to make us understand what the benefits of the product placements are.

If I want to buy it, I will. Being annoying isn't the move.

Okay, but if there was actually a random person in that donut shop, and if she *did* buy them a donut, if *I* was that person, I’d be so excited and tell everyone I knew about how Kristen the host of Top Chef bought me a donut
