Quit the complaining! If you had only just called your bank first and explained that you were going to make a large drug purchase, obtain a ton of money orders and stuff a lot of money in your bank account, your problems would be over!:D

I don't bother with calling in at the store. If my card is declined, I just pull out another one and figure it out later. I'd rather not hold up the line. |

so you spent 15 minutes on the phone before getting a fraud alert to save face....curious why it took 3 reps and 15 minutes but ok. Anyway, they can be cleared typically in a few seconds and I personally could care less what others think about me:p

I had that happen with my citi card. I called and they said you are good to go. As soon as I swiped they declined and fraud alert. I called right away and he cleared it and stayed on the call till I swiped again. I find it annoying but not embarrassing. I guess I would rather be safe than sorry.

The easiest way to stop getting fraud alerts is to not mix in small everyday purchases on your ms cards. This point has been made many times on this forum. Only do large ms purchases to set up a pattern on the card. You will probably get fraud alerts for the first few times but afterwards will not get anymore.

It doesn't bother me. It is rare that I get a fraud notification, it only takes a minute of my time to clear. I just say "Sorry, my card was declined for possible fraud" and rectify the situation.

Chip and PIN will do nothing in this country with the amount of credit card fraud. Zero, zip, nada.
People believe Chip and PIN simply eliminates Fraud. That doesn't stop anyone from using a credit card online. |

You've obviously never seen his posts about what he does in Bangkok. :D
FWIW...I truly do not care what anyone thinks...I may be deluded but that is fine by me, but deluded is much better than insecure IMHO:p |

Meh - one night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster! Where do you stay in Pattaya? So far we have found the Hilton most convenient.

lol, just got back from 3 weeks in Pattaya...skipped BKK due to protest situation. Wife and I love Thailand for so many reasons, which is why we've been there 5x in past 13 months:D
