Are you kidding me? This sounds like something from The Onion! In the USA if someone did this they'd be thrown in jail for illegally altering the contract. Never mind what the law says, the judge would bend over backwards to please the corporations involved and render a harsh decision against the consumer, who was brazen enough to dare to try such a trick. The judge would deliver a stern lecture about the importance of respecting corporations and of not tampering with legal documents. My guess is that the charge would be fraud and that the guy would receive a rather lengthy prison sentence.
Perhaps because the man printed the contract as if it were some sort of contract by the bank he could be guilty of some sort of fraud. But I think this would only be true if he were claiming that the proposal was sent to him by the bank. I think he's wrong in trying to sue the bank for backing out because it's not something they agreed to. But they did issue the card (by mistake). I don't see it being that much different than a father mistakenly paying child support because he believed he was the father. For some strange reason he is often obligated to continue paying even after it is found out that he was not the father so maybe the dude has a point but I don't agree with it or even understand it.
