Thanks Flintlocke, I'll have to check them out.
There are a few local Rogue Valley Banks...Chase has really been no problem, but this is the second time they have caused an issue, and left me stranded.
Spent over 4 hours and talking to 22 different people, over two days, on something they screwed up again, and can't get the same answer from talking to 22 different people. They screw up but somehow try to twist it into it was my fault.
Simple, they cancel my debit card that is suppose to expire at the end of June here and be replaced before that. Well they cancelled it 30 days early, and haven't even sent the replacement. Doesn't sound like a big issue, until you consider the following...
Thursday my wife had eye surgery, so she is suppose to be immobile for two weeks to recover. My son is on 16 hour shifts at the hospital because of someone in his small dept calling in sick. So I get a call, from the Assisted Living Facility that my step dad is in, he's 90 years old. He got knocked down a flight of stairs, by accident from another resident in a wheelchair., he was unconscious and had to be taken to the hospital. So I dropped what I was doing and went down into CA, 500 miles from home. drove straight thru, but when I got down there I was relieved to hear he had come out of his unconscious state.. and no broken bones, thank God. I left with a fresh tank of gas put into my Camry the day before and what ever was in my wallet..
every thing is okay with my step dad, thank God. So then the fun begins, when I stopped at the local Costco to get gas. Debit card declined... three times.
I had $20 in my wallet. I called Chase, after two hours and cut off lord knows how many times, I'm told that they have cancelled my debit card, but they can't find out why? Then I get someone in the Philippines, who asks me have I gotten my new card, they sent at the end of June? NO, because its still May.
No help whatsoever... they can't do a thing for me nor did they offer. So since I couldn't call my wife or son, I got ahold of a friend who dropped what he was doing on Memorial Day weekend and he comes down to California, with his card and brings me some money in case I might need it. I spent the time in the parking lot of Costco, and wait as he makes a 9 hour trip down. I get back home. Call Chase this morning, the CS gal tells me my card has been reinstated, after reading the account notes.
Go down to the local Gas station to throw $10 in the tank just to make sure... declined.. another couple hours on the bank with Chase. Get told a diffferent story each person it talk to, after get thrown in "Hold Hell". Go to my local branch, where I know the Bank Manager from involvement in Boy Scouts.
He tells me after looking into it, my account is all F'd up. Yeah, they cancelled the card BEFORE sending out the new one. Its already being processed so I won't receive it until the end of the month. This is a business account.
This follows after the last time I got this card. I was in Arizona on business. Stop to get gas and find my card declined. This is like 2016... 1500 miles from home. I had to drive 250 miles to the closest Chase Bank, where I am issued a new card. That time they did the same thing, cancelled my card, before sending the replacement. So 250 miles out of my way and then 250 miles back to get back on my business trip.
This is twice, that I have been left stranded up schitt creek without a paddle by these people, pompous New York City based elitist bank. Just changing banks when you are a business is a pain in the ass, especially in Oregon with our democRats in charge. That is why I didn't dump them back in 2016.
and do they care? they care enough to tell me they don't reimburse me for whatever financial loss this has cost me. but they apologize for 'any inconvenience that this has caused you"... that sure helps me feel a lot better, wouldn't it make you feel better? of course not.
a business treats someone right, they will usually tell 5 to 10 associates or friends of the experience.... some one screws you over, they will tell anyone who will listen. I wouldn't recommend Chase to someone I really disliked even.
Screw these F u GG ers.
That’s quite the ordeal, and a good friend, but who drives 500 miles from home without a couple of $100 bills tucked into their wallet?
