So I decided yesterday to purchase a new laptop. Knowing that it was going to be a large purchase, and having had problems with other banks in the past, I called my bank to ensure that it wouldn't be a problem. The bank raised my daily spending limit, and told me all was well.
I ordered the computer, and was happy that there were no issues with the card. All was well. So I thought...
So I go out to dinner last night with my wife and the check comes. I run my card and it's declined. I try another card that draws from the same account, which was also declined. So I try calling my bank and of course their office is closed for the day. I had my Blackberry with me and managed to quickly transfer money to another account and use another card.
Today I get a call from the bank saying that my card has been locked due to suspicious spending and when I get pissed and ask why this happened he threatens to not unlock my card. So supposedly my card is now unlocked and part of my order has shipped. All is well again... OR NOT!
So I go to track my packages and it turns out that they had used an old address on file instead of the one I gave them when I placed the order, so I had to spend another 45 minutes on the phone in order to have them re-route the now delayed shipment.
WTF is wrong with these people!?!?!? It's my money, I called them to tell them I was going to be making a large purchase (and what it was) and they still screw me over! Then I find out my order isn't shipping properly!
Just needed to rant for a bit.
