I was at costco getting a screaming deal on a laptop - last one at the price - get to the register, chase wont transact it... fuck



luckily the wife unit had her debit card also and she hadnt done business with target in the affected date range..



wish Chase had notified me instead of just jacking my card.  I spent about an hour on the phone waiting to get a person who could help me to send a new card.

Its been all over the news like a rash.  I'm not affected and I can't help reading the news on it over and over and over.  Its not like affected customers don't know they shopped there.  You could have called your card bank and possibly avoided the issue.



You want your bank to call several hundred thousand (conservative estimate) customers?



I love how you don't mention Target as you are spreading blame elsewhere.

I do.

They take pieces of paper with pictures of dead presidents on them as payment. Somebody has to physically steal it out of my pocket if they want it from me without earning it.

chase has done me right so far... EXCEPT (and its a HUGE except) for my home loan... man o man they fucked the dog on that one... im happy with the terms but holy fuck it took 68 days to approve and every paper they needed they had within the first 72 hours of my starting the whole process..

any for the first time in over a year i purchased something in a store that wasnt a grocery store or homedepot using my debit card... of course it was target... we will see how this goes in the end

My card from my local credit union was getting beat up, so I just went ahead and replaced it. Took 10 minutes at the branch. Forgot to make sure there's no link between checking and savings (e.g., overdraft protection). We had bad credit card debt and the one I have now is literally only for car rental purposes.

I could live without what's in the checking account for 10 days.

I do a lot of work in Banks. Chase can make you a new card on the spot at several locations and possibly increase that daily limit while you are there. I know this because that damn card machine is often in my way.

I was also working in a small Credit Union Saturday and overheard that they were / had issued 600+ new cards because of Target.

So your bank recognizes a valid risk to one of their depositors and takes action to protect them from a major loss, and this is somehow a bad thing?  In a day and age when most bankers wouldn't cross the street to piss on you if your head was on fire I can't believe this is even an issue.  Didn't they notify you by email or text?  My little podunk regional bank does when they have an issue of any kind with my account.



My bank just killed my debit card on the spot and is issuing a new one.  Yeah, no debit card over a holiday that is sure to cost me lots of money.  Am I bitching?  Nope, because at least I'm not getting ripped off by some creeper who stole millions of account numbers from Target.  
Link Posted: 12/23/2013 4:48:49 AM EDT

Chase is protecting Chase from losing money, since that is ultimately who would pay for fraudulent charges.  They're leaving the cards on in a minimal way so you don't starve to death in the mean time. That's a sign it's going to take a while to print and mail 10 million new debit cards...

Situations like this is why I use credit cards for purchases.  In my quest to harvest credit card rewards, I think I have 10 different active accounts with 5 different banks.  Some of the cards are infrequently used, so if one gets burned, I could always transition to the next.

Stop by the bank and get $1,000 to fill your wallet.  That way you can be your own ATM.  No fees too :)

This. I am impressed with Chase's proactive approach on this. It is a pain in the ass, but Chase is handling it well. If you want to be angry, focus that at the hackers, Target, or the company who produces their card machines.

Might be true. However, in the case of debit cards I do not believe they are obligated to replace the lost money. I'd still say they are handling this as well as can be expected.

I have heard too many horror stories with debit cards. At a minimum you are having to wait to have your money returned into your account in the Target type scenario. With a CC they have to try to collect it first.

For their credit cards, it looks like they're doing a wait-and-see approach.  They just advised us to continue using our card as normal and to please check online regularly for unusual activity.  Glad it was our credit card and not our debit card we used.  If there was even a possibility of the debit card being compromised, I'd get a new one immediately.  Credit card, I'm not that worried.  If someone uses it, at least it's not my money that's tied up.

No kidding. I shop at target about once every 10 years. The last time I did I bought a child's toy piano for a birthday present for my newish nephew. It took less than a week for them to sell my spending habits to Gerber, who then congratulated me on my "new baby" to try and tried to sell me life insurance for babies.

The morning it hit the news, wife went to the bank, who cancelled and re-issued her debit card (she'd shopped at Target twice during the problem time frame).
In the meantime, we can:
Use credit cards
Write checks
Pay cash

And this appears to be the result of insufficient cash reserves not a bank policy. Never be so low on cash that you have to plan to withdraw some with an ATM to do your Christmas shopping.
