. .. ... Bits for the buggy machine's bit bucket. 

I just got a JCPenney credit card.  Now, two months later they send
me something which says they'll send me a goblet with my family crest
on it for $1.79  (then you'll get one every month and be billed ~$20.)
They say they're going to use some genealogy agency to determine my
family crest.  They also state that you get a refund if they can't
find a crest.  My question is what are the credentials of the place
they are using?  Do they make up a logo if they can't find one?
PS: They say you can cancel anytime.  Anyone know how difficult
this is in practice?
