Last Friday I was having issue at JoAnn’s Fabric store paying with my bank card. 3rd attempt it went thru. I went to Walmart and had to pay cash as the card no longer was accepted.
I got back to my car and checked email and saw that Bank of America had sent a message asking if I had purchased items for $49 at JoAnn’s. I tapped on Yes and they said the card was good / unlocked.
Next I went to the grocery store and at the checkout showed the clerk the email message and warned her that the card might not work.
It did work and then I took out some cash that I had spent earlier just in case.
If your credit cards and bank cards do not work then you end up like the Canadian truckers.
Why they froze my account I do not know. I do not shop there but maybe once a year but still they could see what the item was.
It was Nufoam 1” polyester foam. Not jewelry or a tv set!
It was just a little reminder from our Banker Overlords so that you remember your place.
