An "advisor" (not a regulated adviser with an e) at my bank here in Canada asked me how often I travelled because a rewards VISA card pays blah blah.

I said I don't travel. She literally froze for five seconds it looked like her head was going to implode. After that my bank practically abandoned me.

There was a recent story here how all banks in Canada push services to the point of daily meetings and managers tell staff to aggressively push products. Even ignoring federal banking rules obligating bank employees to tell customers to pay off debt first before investing.
