    Got an email from Costco asking me to accept an offer on their Citibank Visa.

    I canceled my card last year when Citibank decided they wanted to get involved in anti-gun activism.

    My reply to Costco was simple:

    No.

    Because:

    If Costco decides to go with a Visa provider that doesn't seek to infringe on my rights, then I will reconsider. Until then, I will use a different credit or debit card when making purchases at Costco.

    Yeah.. it's hard to feel good about doing something because nobody else seems to care our rights are slowly but surely being taken asay.

    We let our Costco card lapse in 2005 and have not renewed and never will again.
