Something is definitely 'different' this month. For nearly 3 years all my payments would go through instantly. Now this month, every payment has been gone to 'pending' status for hours on end, and clicking on the details greets you with the following message:
"We are unable to complete your transaction until further review. It can take up to 24 hours to complete this transaction. We apologize for any inconvenience this delay may cause"
So far all payments have still eventually gone through, but, 'spidey sense' tells me this party could be coming to an end soon. One reason I haven't gone big into AMEX GC's despite BigCrumbs having returned.
