You're invited, well not really.

I got an email from my bank the other day, inviting me to join an opinion panel. "In an effort to enhance the overall offering to you, we would like to invite you to join the M&T Bank Opinions Panel, an exciting research community of customers like you..........Please take a few minutes to fill out our initial profile questionnaire." Well, OK, I thought: since I have opinions, why not share them. So I filled out the form stating my name, address, and for some reason, what age group I fit in, and pressed submit. But instead of thank you for your interest, the bank emailed back that I would not be a member of the survey panel because UNFORTUNATELY they did not need any more members who were in my category. So they don't need the opinions of any more old people, they might as well have replied. Why was I "invited" and then un-invited, albeit unfortunately. Maybe I should look for another bank.
