Some weird thing happened this morning after my attempt to make the purchase with my chase freedom. I got a call from chase fraud dept. asking me to verify some transactions. There's one in store purchase on my freedom this morning out of NY for $10, (i live in florida). So they said this transaction is very suspicious, and only the card number was correct; exp date and security code were wrong, so this transaction got declined. I am not sure whether this is purely coincidence that somebody tried to swipe my card this morning (right after my transaction at cvs got declined)..or is this something to do with my attempt purchase at cvs last night to get the $500 VR.
Also i asked CSR to confirm that the transaction should go through after i reply the fraud alert text msg. I should have gone back to CVS to make the purchase yesterday...but i figure i should just wait since i already purchased one with my UA explorer card... Now they are mailing me a new card. Any thoughts on my experience? do you think it's safe to use my freedom to buy VR in CVS again after i got my new card?
Thanks!

1. is there a distinct post on paying Chase CC bills with bb? anything to be wary of, or special way to do it? has anyone had problems doing this?
2. I see some discussions re: DD, particularly via PP. I assume this is to avoid wd fee? is there a post discussing how to set this up?
thanks.

2. DD every 30 days can help you to avoid w/d fees from moneypass ATMs. You need to get your account and routing #'s from BB by clicking on "setup direct deposit" in BB. Enter that info in PP when linking your BB to PP as a bank account.

Because I'd rather not give BB my checking account info, in case it decides it doesn't like the transfers. Since it can't do the same with my CC accounts, I'm not as concerned with putting those into the billpay. Also, my moneypass ATM and my physical bank are directly across the street from each other, so it isn't really inconvenient at all.

. Also, they can't claw back an ATM withdrawal. I just don't trust it enough at this point, though I've only done a handful of ATM withdrawals. Also, you can't transfer into foreign currency, but you can withdraw at an ATM and BB seems to have a very favorable setup for doing this @:-). I mostly billpay with BB so far.

I did bill pay for my chase credit card and gave my credit card no in the account no field. I did it on 15th and it said it will post on the 17th but I still do not see any pending payments in my chase account? Does it generally take more than 2 business days to see the payment? Any way to confirm if Chase got the payment?

"We took back the customers money because ...uh, uh, we didn't like his business practices?"
Shut down, torture, but not clawback, and Amex is interested in showing large numbers of accounts and deposits so they have a vested interest in us pumping their numbers full of hot air.

This has been very consistent across my payments. Check back tomorrow, it will more than likely have posted (with a posting date of the 17th).
BTW - I also paid 2 Chase cards on the 15th (with a stated 17th posting date) and neither of mine have gone through yet.

Did you happen to use Bluebird to pay off this account? I had posted a few pages back of something similar that happened to me once I loaded my account info on Bluebird to pay off accounts. Likewise another user chimed in and said the same thing. I have no proof it is connected to bluebird but since bluebird saves your creditcard # without censoring any of it, i feel employees there may have access to it without a valid exp and/or security code. But like others have posted, you may have a virus/trojan horse on your computer and may want to look into that. I still believe my experience was from some time of corruption within bluebird but I am still using their billpay system, albeit cautiously... just my 2 cents.
No, i loaded my bluebird last night but havent set up any bill payment yet; this is a new card, so it was the first time i loaded money in. So i still have no clue why this happened
