Yesterday I decided to become a rock star, and I bought a guitar, as you can see on my
.
Today, I with completely clarity spoke to my friend and role model in music,
Beth Kinderman about music record equipment, and she recommended
Musician's Friend as a great source for music equipment. I browsed their site, and decided on exactly what I wanted, and filled up a wish list. I then
saw this offer, whereby if you are going to buy $299 or more worth of equipment, you can get it for free for a year, or for three months if you're buying less.
I then applied online for the credit card needed, which is provided by
HSBC, and was instantly approved over the internet, because I have good credit from using my other cards responsibly. They were able to instantly confirm my identity, because they are networked with state government and all the credit reporting agencies. They knew what cars I have owned, even though I never got a loan for the cars, from my driver's license records. They will mail me my card in 1-2 weeks, but I was told I could use the account immediately, but I have yet to receive the account number.
Because I am a real person, I was able to call Musician's Friend's customer support number, and they were able to locate the credit card I had opened 10 minutes ago, but that took ultimate trust. I had to give them my SS# and DOB over the phone. I did.
Now, thanks to the customer service rep Anna, they are shipping me almost $500 worth of music equipment for free, because they know I'm good for it within a year, which I am. We arranged for shipping through UPS, and I will be calling them to ensure my equipment is secure, one Anna, fulfilling her job perfectly, sends me my UPS tracking number. With our powers combined, I will get my equipment, and nothing can stop the power of our combined wills, me and Anna and the UPS driver who will come.
I asked Anna if I could talk to her manager and say what a help she had been, and she connected me, and I told the supervisor, who thanked me and said she'd pass it on to Anna's immediate supervisor.
Musician's Friend now has a customer for life, and Anna is going to get a pay raise next time they evaluate her performance, because I told them to do it. Behold the power of words. Also, if you're a musician, and you have decent credit, you can get what you need to pursue your passion for free for now, as long as you do it in good faith, as you must have shown by the power of your actions in the past, whereby you, and only you, earned that credit score. Behold, for the world is connected, those things you did do have consequences, and by being responsible, you have more power in society, and as an economic entity than you know.
All of this happened less than 20 minutes ago. I have the creative output to post this, and tell you all of your power, in that time, and so do you, deep inside.
