ST. LOUIS Thirteen is not always unlucky, at least not at Vantage Credit Union here.
The credit union announced the second of four winners in its “Triskaidekaphobic” summer loan promotion, which runs through Sept. 30 and is open to members who have to open a loan of at least $1,000, or increase an existing line of credit by $1,000 or more, during the promotional period.
Susan Pleimann of St. Louis had $1,300 deposited into her savings account this week. Pleimann's name was automatically entered in the drawing during the month of July.
“Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13,” commented Kathy Palmer, VP of Marketing. “Being that it’s 2013, we thought it would be fun to use such a unique word to let our members know there is no fear’ in borrowing money from Vantage.”
