Let's hope the CC division doesn't try this same road.
Yes, perhaps this reflects differences between the cc and retail banking divisions, the latter being more tightly-regulated. The banking compliance department might feel more pressure to err on the side of issuing 1099s.

Anyone remember the old days when banks would give you household items like a nice toaster when you opened an account? I suspect they didn't include the value of the bonus item in 1099s, but I don't have any personal experience with it.
