Cranky Sken is cranky!
So there was some sort of massive credit card theft revelation, like, two years ago with Heartland Payment Systems. They process over 100 million transactions a month. Anyway, my bank was struck by it apparently, and sent out a massive number of replacement cards.
Including to me.
In an unmarked envelope.
And my current card deactivated today.
So now I have to run home, hope it’s in an envelope I haven’t opened, and hit the bank for a temporary card if not.
Nothing is as delightful as getting “your card is declined!” when you “know” (quotes intended) that you have well more than enough.
Clearly I need to start stuffing a mattress.
Same thing happened to me a month or two ago. Declined card. Eeek. I know there’s plenty of room on it. My first thought was someone had gotten ahold of the info and ran it up. Freaked out ’til I called and found out what happened. Bleh.
“Clearly I need to start stuffing a mattress.”
Or opening your mail!
Bah, how practical is that?
Hahahaha!! Seconded! =P
Look, if I open every piece of mail I get, the terrorists win.
“So now I have to run home, hope it’s in an envelope I haven’t opened, and hit the bank for a temporary card if not.”
By not opening your mail you now have to flail around, so clearly the terrorists have won!
