It has been quite an experience to see how many in this community will go to extreme lengths to prove that they are right and you are wrong.
So, go forward, call your Bank as you are delayed on your journey, show your I.D.'s, reveal your itineraries, get to your next destination with your pile of cash etc.
The insults were extraordinary...I was only try to give our folks some insight as to how the payment system works with the cards that most of us have in our wallet...won't attempt again.
BTW, after complaining to my Issure about denying my diesel purchase in SC in July, they approved my purchase last weekend in the Bahamas. That is what having a V or MC is all about.
You are after all the customer, the banks are the ones getting the revenue
There are no delays, if done right. There are minor delays if not. If done right, by notifying bank in advance of your travel route, you pay and go. If not, then a call to the bank to verify your transaction and update your rouote will be required. I did it this way, once. Took me 15-30 minutes to get it corrected and I was back on the road. For me, this is a minor inconvenience to the hassle of having my card cancelled, due to a compromise, and having it reissued. If I am on the road, I would rather the bank protect me than be without my cards, mid trip. I am happy that PFCU has their security that assists me, even though there may be minor (my perspective) inconveniences.
And yes, we all state the facts as we see them, to support what we believe to be right, and that includes your arguments.
