One of the gas stations we stopped at in Washington on the way home, had something funky with their pump. I swiped my card and it declined. Went inside and it declined again. Called and they said it was fixed...swiped and declined. Called Capital One again and told them this was not acceptable as I had 2400 miles to go and really needed to be able to fill the gas tank. I wanted to use my card so we would get the cash back on all of the expenses.What a morning I've been having. Got a notification that my debit card had been compromised, so got that straightened out, but normally I could just go in my credit union and get a new card on the spot, but their system to do that has been down all week, so they're mailing me a new one, which will take 5-10 business days.
Went to the credit union and took out some cash to run on for awhile, but figured I also had my regular Visa, so no biggie, right? Went to buy smokes at the gas station with the Visa and it was declined! WTF?? Got home and called and they had put a hold on my card because I used it to put money on the Go Fund Me account for Susan's daughter.
Thing is, I had been getting calls and texts allegedly from their fraud department but when I looked up the number, it was listed as a known spam/phishing number so I ignored them. I let them know about that when I called just now. Everything is okay now, but damn!
