Amex, was really surprised to get a no on the first call.

You got $10 promo credit from amex on the 3rd time that they missed?

Yup, the swipe wasn't missed it was just on the wrong card.

[Mplace]

Yup, the swipe wasn't missed it was just on the wrong card.

So they already credited you?
Wow

So they already credited you?
Wow

Why not? There was no reason to wait around to  see if something would post...

What do we call it if a store taking lists charged 10.88, 10.89, and 10.90?

If they wanted to do different amounts, why not 10.00, 10.01, 10.02?

Seems a bit off.

If they didn't tell you beforehand they're gonna charge that amount they're crooks.

They probably thought their systems would not allow all transactions with the same amount. So they kept going up...

The truth is, while most of us were taking advantage of every single card and AU I spoke to some of my akum friends at work and they had registered and did not even use all their cards.  So Amex didnt even spend the full allotment.

Why didn't they use it ?

One of the stores that I gave a list to did the same

[shidduch]

Why didn't they use it ?

Because they didnt have local stores that were doing anything like our stores.  So it wasnt worth it to them.  But none of them had that many cards either. 

[shidduch]

I dont think you can really say its a differentiation between us and them on a national level.  Its more a certain type of mentality.  Its us (DDF,FW,SD type of people) versus them.  I know plenty of ours who have no shaychus to this kind of stuff.

Its like the difference between an employee and a worker.  Two different types of people.

Or, they figured to make an extra dollar off each swipe. 5 cards was an extra 15 dollars I wouldn't have otherwise spent in their store.

An employee and a worker?

[gogreen]

Forget about emails and credits half of my swipes aren't showing in pending charges does that make sense?
And I didnt receive emails for them

Half my swipes arent showing either but i did get emails for them.

[henche]

Half my swipes aren't showing, and I didn't get half my emails. But the emails I got are not the swipes that are showing.

So am I totally good or totally bad?

Even if they don't do like our stores, they could still buy something then buy another thing 2 minutes later, then go across the street to eat lunch, buy supper to take home etc.. To just not use it is plain stupid.
