My ‘Worlds of Warcraft’ VISA

I signed up for my Worlds of Warcraft VISA card today. I chose the ‘ugly ogre’ graphic as I figured I might as well have some fun. Imagine the reaction from the waitress at my next sit-down dinner (at least I would have already eaten my meal!!). Of course I don’t intend to actively use the card but I commend National Bank of Omaha for an innovative program. I can earn free game time for my purchases which sounds actually pretty cool. I’m looking forward to hitting their ‘rewards mall’ and seeing what other goodies they have lined up for me.
