Snails - Response on Threads Part 4

[AttyPops]

Hadn't gone to the mail yet when I started all this.
New card to replace expiring card is in the mail... facepalm: Timing is everything. They do that 'cut over' with cards pretty closely. lol)

 

[AttyPops]

So ...."here I go again"....

If this doesn't work, it'll be
"here I go again, mixing misery and gin....."

supposed to work till the new one is activated .......................

 

[AttyPops]

Activated card.
Still doesn't work.

and their little dog toto too.

(I know, I know, security is a good thing. But the crap has to work. Timing is everything.)

You'd think, right?

 

[AttyPops]

Maybe they don't like that particular vendor.

IDK

Could try to set it up in paypal.
That didn't work earlier with "old" card either.
Something is not cool. IDK what.
There's money there. So it's just weird. May have to call em.

 

[LostVapeMonster]

You'd think, right?

Again, Atty - that would be too easy.

 

[AttyPops]

No weird transactions showing on the account.
Stuff that was supposed to clear has cleared.

Shrug. Going to do it the hard way and get a ride and deposit $$$$ on my debit-card and then use that card.
Will cost me a day delay or so (weekend coming up) to get the parts. Grrrr.

 

[AttyPops]

Tried again.
Still doesn't work.
Will have to contact the buggers and find out what the deal is.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......................

Thought maybe there was a delay for activation. IDK. Not happening.

 

[tiburonfirst]

check with your cc company - they should be able to see the attempts and possibly clear the path to success!

 

[FranC]

Good luck ,Atty........so frustrating.......

 

[AttyPops]

Got it to work.

It seems that the "new way" that companies do CC verification is to put a transaction in with 0.00 dollars.
The CC was not allowing a zero transaction.
The CC person updated that to allow one on their system.
Maybe less secure that way, IDK. Maybe doesn't matter.
But that's the "trend" these days.

No way to tell all that from my end. The CC clerk new though.

NOTHING is ever easy.

But it's ordered.

See above. That's what I was doing as you typed that.

Please refer to my original statement...

 

[AttyPops]

There goes a ton of time (and coincidental timing with a new card in the mail complicating things) that I will never get back. Not to mention it doesn't help the 'old blood pressure.

This is why people hate computers. Even computer people.

Better now.

Still want GF to take me to the store though. Bread/milk/stamps...
Worst of the snow storm is due this afternoon, should be right in the middle of the storm when she gets out of work....

Timing is everything.

How come mine is all bad?

 

[AttyPops]

Again, Atty - that would be too easy.

This one? Yeah, you nailed it.

 

[tiburonfirst]

This one? Yeah, you nailed it.

forget about it and move on - transaction went through!

priority now is getting you safely to the store and back once gf is off work!

getting on the road now to check for busted pipes

 

[LostVapeMonster]

I know exactly how you feel, Atty. It seems like it's always something.

 

[FranC]

Take a deep breath ,Atty Parts are ordered!!

 

[Flowersoul]
