Something like this? You could override the value of this by setting your own context, but it is very useful to be able to access the DOM object as this in jQuery, and a fundamental part of how jQuery works. If you were to change that, I'd say you're not hardly using jQuery at all. So instead, i'm passing context as a parameter here...

function Customer(name){
   this._name=name;
};

Customer.prototype.init=function(){
   $('#SetCreditLevel').click((function(context){
       return function() {
           alert(context._name);
           alert(this);
       }
   })(this));
}
