Sounds like you haven't been standing in front of a register , with a line of people behind you , waiting , while you get denied the use of your card , after spending hours in some store , tediously picking out thousands of dollars in materials you NEED , while knowing you have the available balance , while knowing - you have good credit and pay your bills on time , etc , ......while getting denied. Pissed me off. It was the circumstance.
I get it. Good thing they check , but sometimes the timing just sucks.
2 days after I ordered a hat and shirt from fractal , I got an unrelated security notice of fraudulent activity on my card. iTunes charges ( I don't have a card attached to iTunes )
We were leaving for vacation on Monday , it was a Friday , UPS won't deliver on Saturday , next day air didn't help , had to sign for the card. Like the delivery of the Axe III , I had to receive the card at my home to sign. They couldn't keep it at the UPS facility and let me pick it up. What a show.
Thieves suck.
