I've gotten to the point where I just drown out the announcement. Sometimes the pitch sounds so desperate it's actually funny to listen to. The cc market is very mature and as we've seen with the latest "churn incident" the cc companies will do anything to meet what are most surely impossible new account numbers.

Unfortunately, this is the new form of marketing. In your face pitches that assume they are doing something favorable (and noble) by shamelessly hawking their product like a 19th century traveling medicine man (read con man).
