Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted March 13, 2023 Popular Post Share #1 Posted March 13, 2023 for my hair cut this morning and opened my wallet and no debit card. I had to dig out my mad money I had tucked away in a compartment of my wallet. I could have used a credit card but I hate credit cards. I called the Cadillac Ranch down in Robinson to see if they had my card and they did. Judie is going to pick it up for me. I stopped by the bank and got some cash so I could get gas. Altogether this turned out better than I expected when I noticed my card missing. 4 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted March 13, 2023 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2023 The only thing that you should use a debit card for is getting money out of an ATM or an emergency backup to a credit card. If someone hacks your debit card, they can get to all your savings and clear you out. Eventually you might get the money back. Might. With a credit card you are usually only responsible for the first $50 that is stolen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted March 13, 2023 Share #3 Posted March 13, 2023 Ugh, I hate that sinking feeling in your stomach when you notice something big like that missing. I'm glad you were able to get cash from the bank without it. Did you write a check? I have to use my bank card for any withdrawals unless I've written a check, and I thought I was the last person still using checks for anything. Glad it worked out for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I used to use credit cards it seemed there were always issues. My bank will not allow anyone to clean me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small towns are probably easier than the big city 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was totally the banks fault. How soon did they restore the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
