Okay, so yesterday afternoon I pull into the drive-thru atm and after putting my pin number in, it spits it back at me and says I need to call customer service.
So I get home and call and they say that it was locked up due to, "odd" charges that they just wanted me to confirm I made. One was a $500 into a poker site (party bonus), and then there were a couple small charges at a resteraunt and gas station etc. These were ALL normal charges for me, even if I hadn't deposited into Party for a month (it's standard for me to deposit the max for the bonus for at least 5 months running now).
My question (sorry it took so long) is, was I wrong to be frustrated?!
I mean, part of me was glad that my bank was looking out for me, but at the same time...what a pain in the ass. And thank goodness I wasn't really in a pinch or something cause then it could have really sucked. I don't know...I was pretty bothered by it but then couldn't really figure out if I there was a better solution the bank could have made.
