And I really wanted that Nook cover...
On my way home Friday, my mom called and asked me to pick up a few things from the grocery store. After going through the line I swiped my card and punched in my pin number only to find that my card was declined. After trying the card again and again I stared to get worried. I knew I had money in my account so what was the problem. After getting mean looks from the ten people standing in line with their groceries I remembered I had another debit card I could use to pay. I had just gotten the new card the other day and had not memorized my pin number. So as I stood there racking my brain for what I could do before the people in line started a riot, I remembered that I could use the card as credit instead of debit. After finally getting out of there I went to the ATM to check my balance on my card, but the ATM would not give me a balance. When I got home I called my bank and asked them what was wrong with my card. They went through and asked me all the places that I had used my card previously that week, but when they asked what I bought for $54 the day before I told them nothing. I was then redirected to another person who informed me that my account was put on hold due to suspicious charges. Come to find out someone in Madrid purchased something for $54 using my card. I could not believe it! Finally we got everything straightened out, cancelled that card and they are refunding me my money. Guess I'm not ordering the new Nook cover I wanted this weekend.
