tiamatladyOne of my credit cards just did something VERY funky.
I'm pretty sure I just went over my limit (which is by choice tiny. It's the one I use for gas) I'd be over by about a dollar. I just went to log in to see if a charge for tolls had hit and it's like the site is in lockdown - they're telling me my card number is "invalid"
If this is how they're going to handle me going over the limit, I'm not putting up with it. This is the card that charges an outrageous fee per year, and I was thinking about canceling it anyway. Now I'm SURE I am. I don't need the credit that badly, and I have another card I'll just link everything to, and not allow myself to use it. I'd been getting too dependent on credit cards anyway - it's an easier way to keep track of my expenses, but I was also using the justification of "I'll pay it off when I get my monthly billing." That's NOT a good idea for me to start getting into again.
I mean I'm going to be polite about it, and I'm going to make sure my card is turned back "on" so to speak, but them I'm going to cancel it. heee - I think I'm going to point everything to my Visa right now. Let's start with Paypal and Ebay and Speedpass.
I mean I understand I was bad - I should have scheduled the payment earlier, but it's only the toll thing that hit that's the problem. And I don't like the whole "your card is invalid" thing. Makes me NOT happy to be invalidated *grins* Even if it's a fraud thing, and they're issuing me another card, I have no idea what's going on, and they email me all the time.
