TD Canada Trust adds more fuel to the fire

So, as it already stands, I am already quite pissed with TD Canada Trust with their shenanigans of raising the fees of their accounts. Now, they have launched this new campaign to try and get new customers by offering them up to $250 to sign up and bank with them. See here.

What the heck?!!

How does this make sense? An existing customer for twelve years gets told that "Oh, the fees must go up because we are expecting a growth in the economy by x%" when in reality our global markets are not in tip top shape.

Now, I have my loyalty spat on, once again, because while I am the good customer and I "accept" my fee increases and the whole nine yards, I see that TD is trying to lure customers away by offering them $250. Where's my money?

Who hired these people to come up with marketing strategies? These people should be shot.

Also, upon closer examination: Existing customers and customers who closed their accounts after May 1, 2011 are not eligible for this offer. Boy, I feel like a valued TD customer right now... My increase in fees and my raised minimum balance goes towards $250 or $150 payouts to new customers? Why doesn't the bank spend less resources on trying to get more clients and give their existing clients a break, so that they don't go elsewhere?!!
