RAWR ARE YOU *SERIOUS*? I just got a call from my credit union. $1500 in attempted transactions on the East Coast. I do not have that much money. In addition, I am approximately two hours (depends on how quickly you drive) from the Pacific Ocean, and I have been sitting on my ass catching up on _Supernatural_ on Hulu most of this morning. So… No. They're shutting down my debit card and reissuing it. *Again*. This is something like the sixth time in two years and fourth time in one year.
On the up side, I did have a "hmm, I've had to redo most of my subs due to this exact same problem several times already, so I should just put everything on my real credit card because *that* one doesn't seem to have this problem" moment after it was replaced due to the Target debacle. On the down side, I had to call my landlord and ask her to hold on to my rent check until Friday because it will bounce otherwise since there's a $500 pending transaction that they have to allow to go through and get my fraud declaration back before they can reverse it. On the up side, I send my rent checks like clockwork and have never had to talk to her about them for any reason other than one time when she called to let me know I had somehow managed to forget to seal the envelope (the check was still in there), so she just asked for a copy of the declaration. On the down side, AARGH! SIX CARDS IN TWO YEARS IS RIDICULOUS! (On the up side, this specific physical card has problems with the magnetic strip, so it frequently has problems with readers, so it will be nice to have a fresh card with a brand new mag strip.)
