Yup, it's a small fail safe for us to try and slow down spammers and shill dealers who pop in and try to flood RepGeek.
The 'rapid fire' Viagra and Swiss Grade AAAAA garbage dealer posts can at least be s l o w e d some and give us a chance to nuke em! :D
I understand the reason, but that doesn't stop it from being farking annoying. ;)Quote:

My account and money are fine (it seems), it's just my card keeps on being rejected. I should probably have more than one card, eh?Quote:

here's one that will come into play soon. CC home address is say in Indiana (mom and dad's home), all charges are in Indiana, then all of a sudden charges come from Texas for gasoline, groceries, restaruants, University of Texas bookstore. Flag up - possible stolen card and a run is happening. Card blocked. in reality, card is correctly being used by the card owners in indiana and the texas charges are on an approved user card for a daughter or son at school at UT. mom/dad has to call to reactivate the card and all is good till the next card payment cycle
there are other models that "we" in card security set out there. one of the best things to do is call your card company, explain that a series of charges will come through for this and that and you are giving them a heads up. granted this will not gaurantee a constant green light but at least we have advance knowledge of what may happen. trust me if the CC bank rep says they cannot do anything to stop the flag that is BS there is an overide code - usually will need a manager's approval but it can be done.
good luck and use that CC to drive the outstandings revenue mark of the bank you use - :lol: :) :cool:
It's a debit card, actually. I've seen my balance online and it's fine.
Ok lets take a look at the account. Can I get your user name and password? ;)Quote:
