Otherwise there would have been too many CO discussion scattered everywhere.
I do agree, it was a good run while it lasted.

I searched but could not find anyones experiences with purchasing a CO GC at a branch. Having a $50 account open isn't a big deal for those who have a branch nearby.
Anyone tried to buy CO GC's in branch w/ CC had it show up as a cash advance?

This really pissed me off, I can't believe that they wont refund our purchases if they don't provide us the cards.

Looks like CharterOne is having some crises.

For those who don't want to register (or use bugmenot.com to get a sign-in name), they're cutting 900 positions as part of the takeover by Citizens Financial.
