Anyone else getting really tired of their credit card company?
I can't stand this shit. They make you jump through hoops to even use the damn card now. Every time I place an order halfway substantial it triggers their automated shit and declines the charge until their automated thing calls for me to verify it. A couple years ago it blocked $120 charge on the Microsoft Store. Microsoft! This month it was a charge on NewEgg. It was like $1200, BUT I've been shopping at NewEgg with this card for 12 fucking years. They have no business blocking an order some place I've shopped for 12+ years!!! I don't care how goddamn much it was for. I want this shit disabled but I don't know if it's even possible. What's the point? The one time there actually was a fraud charge on my account their automated shit didn't catch it anyway. I had to call after seeing it on my statement. That's how I want it. If there's a problem, I'll call. Otherwise leave me the fuck alone. I swear they screw up my Black Friday shopping every year. I'm over here trying to grab deals and they block my shit for no reason.
Hell, I had a Capitol One card like 14 years ago. My other card had something like a $15k limit, but I found out the limit on the Capitol One card was only like $250 so I quit using it. Never activated a new card after that. YET, somehow they let someone charge on one of the new cards that was never activated and sitting in my safe a couple years ago. Now the account is totally shutdown.
I wouldn't know who to consider if I was going to look for another card. I know I'm going to be bitching at someone at Bank of America next time they block a charge though. I'm tired of this shit.

Weird! The only card which I've ever had that refused my charge was American Express, and legitimately so as the purchase was from a company I had never purchased from and was also for a large amount.
To the contrary, however, when Amex refuses to accept my card, then I use one of my Bank Of America cards and it has never been declined for use.
Now, I have a card which gives great rewards, and it's through Bank of America. So, the more money I spend, the more rewards I earn, and I am just putting most everything on that credit card - no declines yet. Like I said, I'm now using it for nearly everything - to the tune of $1,000/month not a single decline.
Oh, by the way, do not worry about me, I ALWAYS pay my entire credit card balance within a couple of days after receiving the e-bill. I've never paid a penny in interest on a credit card, not in the 38 years I've been using them!
