Vacation, Baby! Part Two

[ocnblu]

Stopped off at the gym this morning. Was on treadmill for 25 minutes, felt good, got off and went in for a shower. Found my lock busted on the locker, twisted so I couldn't open it. Got an employee to cut the lock the rest of the way off, but the latch on the locker was also broken. After using a screwdriver to open the busted latch, I went through my stuff to find all my cash missing from my wallet, but everything else intact.

The shift manager called the local police. In the meantime, I had to call and cancel my two credit cards and, to be safe, order a new bank card.

After the officer interviewed me, two other customers walked over and told me of similar events happening to them in recent weeks at that gym.

So now I am starting a week's vacation unable to use my credit card account, and out about $18 that I had in my wallet. Not to mention being plenty pissed off and feeling violated.

Your CC company wouldn't overnight a new card to you? American Express would.

Bummer man!

The CC company should be able to send the CC right to the location of your hotel (or where ever you are staying).

Remember, it's in their best interest for you to use it. They'll pay the $12.95 to overnight it to you because they'll make it up in CC processing fees alone. They make about $10 - $15 on a $500 purchase.

Oh it was my regular home location. I'm still home.

I didn't think to ask and neither of the two credit card chicks offered to overnight me some cards.
