While waiting for my colonoscopy this morning, I overheard a number of the nurses and aides talking about a former patient who owes the Endoscopy Center $100. He is paying $1.01 per month from his Bank of America account, since he then get 99 cents deposited in his savings account for "free", due to the "Keep the Change" program. Despite the payment clerk explaining to him over and over that this money is just his $0.99 moved from checking to savings, he doesn't believe it -- he's convinced he can make up to $4000 this year by paying all his bills off in this way. He figures that BoA is just giving the money away for some reason, and he wants his share. (To be fair, BoA does give a little money at the start of the program, but not that much.)
Seems like a prime candidate for a pyramid scheme. This guy is in his 50s, so he'll never learn.
