Whether scraping off your windshield or cutting up some Columbian bam bam, Berkshire Bank has you covered!

I don’t know how this one slipped through the cracks during the vetting process, but I’m glad it did because it made me laugh out loud when I opened the email. Good job Berkshire Bank, you’ve helped me start my day off with a smile!

They don’t have youfully covered though since they won’t be held liable for the unrecommended use of their bank card as an ice scraper.

So it’s not actually for whatever your need?

Looks too much like cutting coke to me. I would not have approved this ad if I were in marketing. But I’m sure their agency loved it.

Reminds me of that time I watched a guy scrape ice off his airplane with a credit card.

Yeah I got such a kick out of the fact that it got approved and made it to my inbox. As if bankers wouldn’t know what cutting up coke looked like...
