Listen, you do whatever you need to do but I'm telling you - these deals are fragile and impatient people aren't very helpful.

Why can't someone just wait a week? I said above that I've waited 5 days and no one we know of has never gotten their 5%..
You have not closely followed the thread. Enough of us who had waited long enough at the beginning and finally concluded there was no reason to wait but called once the requisite time had passed. That was way back in Nov.

Since these cards become available I've ran a (very) small fortune through them and have gotten 5% back 100% of the time, almost never within 48 hours.
You just haven't had your turn of the "bad Luck" yet. Probability would catch you sooner or later.

Thank you for providing your experience.

Oh now you decide it is better to call? Why not keep waiting, since you have made enough to cover everything and then some, so missing that little chump change should not be a concern for you to call - essentially putting yourself into the same camp of people whom you criticize.
