I want to tell you about my Embarrassing Moment..# 87 Million. It might just be The Most Embarrassing Senior Moment since I turned...............well..............Senior...................
Last week and email from my bank advised me my debit card had been compromised with others and they had mailed me a new card with a chip in it. Also advised to cut up old, activate new when it arrived.
The card arrived, I dashed to the phone and called to activate it and hung up ranting.
Bob, did you know all I had to do was type in the last 4 digits of the card and the code and it was activated?... NO ANSWER from the peanut gallery... I continue to rant on about anyone could activate it it they took the letter out of the mail..yada yada yada...
he finally answered with "did I get one too?" more ranting from me about reading him the letter and him not listening...It was MY card compromised because he never uses his anywhere but the gas station... Wait that is not what this post is about....
I went to Wal-Mart Friday with the new card, I paid and it did not give me the option to put in pin number, just sign here please. Discussed with Cashier, she knew nothing. I came home and ranted that I did not want to use it without a pin.. on and on and on. Rant... Rant...
I go the next day to Dollar General. same thing... ditto what I wrote above.
More ranting and raving... Did I tell you I kept checking the bank account on line to see if the two transactions showed? NOPE! Nada, nothing there. More ranting while I emailed Lola and asked if she had that problem.. NOPE!
Have you guessed the punch line yet?
Debit is bright RED card... because I was afraid it might not be active, I tool the Bright Blue Charge Card for Just In Case What If Scenario....
Can you guess now?
YES! I was USING THE BRIGHT BLUE CHARGE CARD..
Yes, the new card works....I tried it Sunday AM and both transactions are sitting on my charge account waiting to be paid. If I can remember how....
