Oy, another 2.5 hours this morning chasing money. God, I promise I do love you best, but I get such an adrenaline rush solving these money problems, that is when I'm not angry or anxious or upset.
Today's money woes are with Fulton Bank. In trying to get a bank bonus available to only MD residents, I used my family's address in Maryland. I don't know what happened, but on Friday when I finally tried to use the debit card to meet their transaction requirements, my account disappeared and the card is blocked from further transactions.
I've called the customer service number and 3 branches and sent a secure message. They're all telling me I have to go into the branch to reset my pin and possibly verify something.
I can't seem to be able to close the account either. So I accepted that I was not going to be able to get this bonus, but I did not anticipate not being able to access the funds!!
Now what?
My last ditch effort is to try to pull the money externally. I wish I had thought of this on Friday, but alas I was trying to follow their rules (ha!). My fear is that the transaction gets declined AND I get charged a $25-30 NSF fee from my bank. That would suck! As another safeguard, I also sent a secure message to close the account. Let's see which will be successful. I just hope my different tactics don't make the problem worse!
Lesson Learned: using different addresses sends up all sorts of red flags!!
So that's the start of my Wednesday, other than that, all is well!
