I really can't believe the mentality of this forum / travel hackers in general. Some of you guys prove time and time again why you dont belong is this game. Take a look at what you amassed in this opportunity, breathe a little bit and just wait the 3 weeks for a check. If it makes you feel better call back in two weeks and ask for the status of things.

In addition, this game is not over for some of us. Not yet at least. I understand that those for whom it is over are disappointed, but you do have an obligation to the rest of us, just as we would to you. So, could everyone please relax just a bit here?

If you have more money locked up than you could afford, shame on you.

FTR, not everyone can even get to the check issuance point. I've had my account locked since the 8th and they still won't issue a check.

I don't think they have any obligation to us. They must act in their own interest, If they do, they will do us a favor by resolving the issue before it touches us.

If they want to lock up the account for any reason whatsoever, must issue simultaneously the refund of the balance. Banks have no right to hold money.

here is your pm...it works, go try it yourself if you don't believe. Go trust yourself lol.
let me be clearer-you can
1. register the temp card until you get the "congrats" page.
2. take to bank and get your CA money-no charge

A week! Egads!!!!!

You should have known better than to play with rent money.

Your money is not lost. Patience, young grasshopper.

That's always been the charge for a debit purchase. What's the question here?

I love the jo's in this thread who think because you don't like people holding your money it means you have none.

Yup, that's a sum of $ I could be using elsewhere for miles & points.

Even though my accounts are still active, I have no problem with folks whose accounts are closed (or on hold) being aggressive about demanding their money back. Frankly, the odds that such behavior will result in "good" is at least equal to the odds that it will have negative consequences.

And, as a general rule, banks need to give people access to their money. If Incomm doesn't like how people are using their cards, they have the ability to change the rules. They do not have the right to hold their money indefinitely once they have confirmed their identity.

Thanks.

These jokers at InComm have had my card (and funds) tied up since last Friday (when I email the ID and SS card).
Called them on Monday, Wednesday, and today (Friday).
Each time, "Please call back in two business days."
