I just got my WD-40 Sprint FONCARD in the mail. It has a random 14-digit number on the card, rather than my home phone number (ever hear of area code 673?). There was no mention of either WD-40 or the free 60 minutes in the enclosed literature. I did receive a folding "POCKET GUIDE", and, interestingly, "FONCARD INFORMATION FOR BUSINESS CUSTOMERS", which was written to be distributed with employee FONCARDs. I checked my home phone, and it has not been switched to Sprint. Andy [Moderator's Note: Mine arrive Monday also. They sent me two cards, with the same 'information for business customers' literature. The two cards had numbers not even closely resembling each other, and only on one of the two were the first three digits twenty plus my area code (728). And the promised free hour of calling? She told me it would come in the form of a credit of a few dollars on my *third* bill..... how's that for somewhat deceptive marketing. And with a seventy-five cent surcharge per call, this card is going to be sort of expensive. PT]
