Bank rejects woman's debit card with Terry Crews' face on it. He approved with the most sassy response

Actor and former football player Terry Crews is a social media sweetheart. He has been quite active on social media, sharing all kinds of stories and responding to posts by fans. In one instance, Crews came through for a fan who asked for his permission to use a photo of him as a hack to stop spending. Darrel Kennedy (@darreldotcom on X) said that her bank said if she wanted Crew's "Everybody Hates Chris" photo on her debit card, she would need him to sign off.

A Great Personal Finance Hack

Sometimes a stern look from Terry Crews is all that's needed to stop people from overspending. The meme image of the character Julius played by Crews has been used as a popular tool before. It first went viral after a user used Crews' image in his wallet. Inspired by it, Crews also shared a similar post using his own photo for the hack.

However, when Kennedy wanted to use the same image for her Wells Fargo platinum debit card, her bank told her off. They demanded a written letter, signed by Crews as approval for the use of the image. When she couldn't officially reach out to Crews, she took to X (formerly Twitter) to get help from fellow users. She shared the image of her planned card tagging Crews and requested others to tag him and re-tweet the post until it reached him. 

The post eventually caught the attention of the ‘Old Spice guy’ himself, and what happened next was heart-melting. Crews re-tweeted her post and wrote, "I approve. Signed, Terry Crews". While Kennedy didn't now if it would work, she took the post and reached out to the bank to get her new card approved. 

As fans and followers waited anxiously, Kennedy shared another update saying that the bank had expedited the case and she should get her Terry Crews debit card within two weeks. While most users were amazed at what had happened, many lauded the financial hack and said they wanted the card too. 

More hacks to cut down spending

There are several other ways to cut expenses and save money. The first way to do so is by tracking all expenses and noting the unnecessary ones that could be cut. 

Talking about unnecessary expenses, according to Forbes 99% of all U.S. households have least one streaming service in 2024, and many don't know how much they pay each month for them. Thus, to save money, eeveryone should take an account of their subscriptions and cancel those which they don't use or can live without.

Another area where people can save money is insurance premiums, as per Debt.org. Home and auto insurance premiums take up a chunk of income for most Americans. Thus by swapping policies for the cheaper ones, investing in things that lower home insurance premiums like burglar alarms, smoke detectors and more, can help people save a lot. It may also be a good time to sell an expensive car and get a cheaper, fuel efficient and safer option to reduce auto insurance premiums as well.
