It’s ok, they are a PRIVATE COMPANY, so heck, they can enslave people if they want, I guess. In this case, NO PROBLEM, just go to Bank of America, and when B of A dumps you (or refuses you), just go to Well Fargo, and when Wells dumps you (or refuses you), just to City Bank, and when City dumps you (or refuses you), just go to...
Reminds me of when I went to Vegas the first time, I was 18, gambling age was 21. Played the slots for nearly an hour, and then finally a security guy came over and asked for ID. So I left, no problem, I thought, on to the next casino. Couldn’t even drop a dime before being caught. So on to the next, same thing. Only years later did I realize the casinos were coordinating with each other.
In this case, Chase didn’t just come up with this punishment out of the blue, THEY WERE DIRECTED to do so, by people in government bent on revenge - and when the government tells a bank to do something, they will ALWAYS do just that. So if Mr. Flynn tries other banks, he won’t be getting service there either or, if they do give him service by accident, they’ll be politely asked to cancel that service. And no, once he gives his SS number at a new bank, the government knows who to call.
...but then again, Chase is a PRIVATE COMPANY, so who cares what they do and who they do it to. Right?
I’m surprised he isn’t a USAA member. We’ve had a USAA card for more than 40 years. It isn’t just auto insurance.
