So I go out to do some shopping and I swing by the ATM. Suddenly I discover that I can 't take out more than $240 bucks. So I call Chase to find out what the fuck their fucking problem is. Apparently, I was fucking identified as an At Risk Customer because I bought shit from fucking Target with my goddamn debit card. So Chase fucking lowered my goddamn ATM limit to $250.
I don't know whether I am pissed at Chase, Target, the fucking piece of shit hackers trying to steal my goddamn money or all three! Alls I know is that I can 't have my fucking money now because some jerkoff with a computer thought he was going to fucking score. I knew these goddamn debit cards were bad fucking news! I refuse to get one until they flat eliminated the ATM card and forced their bullshit on everyone. Fucking bankers! Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

You are lucky Chase just didn't cancel your card and make you wait for a new one.

should've read your email
$100 cash withdraws and $300 on purchases, they're sending everyone new cards |
|
OP: why don't you have a Chase credit card?
Their rewards are awesome Speed |

Chase banks around me will print a new debit card on the spot...
TX doesn't have card printers? |

Great for points and we don't have to worry about the debit card restrictions. Why do you feel Chase screwed you over, it was target and the criminals that caused this. Chase is just trying to mitigate damage to their customers. |

4/10- Not enough expletives, and rant was initiated by shopping at target

Of all the people you could be pissed at, I'd be pissed at the hackers but that's just me.

Debit cards dont suck. Big banks suck.

Thats what you get for using a debit card. Why would you put your money at risk when you can put the bank's money at risk?
|

It sucks but make it a learning experience. That's why I withdraw my cash before the holidays and put it in the safe. A hacked card, bank breach or power outage is very likely from Dec- Feb. Keep cash on hand. The 1/2% it gets in your savings account doesn't do shit for you.

They're trying to make an attempt to protect your ass...
...be thankful... |

Fraud is covered the same as a credit card. He can walk into any chase branch during regular business hours and withdraw all the money he has. His mistake is relying on any card, and not having cash on hand. |

Isn't this the second time this has happened with Target? Fuck them.

Was going through the checkout at Costco yesterday. Our total was $299.99, this was after we bought some stuff earlier. You guessed it, transaction came up denied. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with the fine folks at Chase. Their fraud protection dept. eventually raised my daily limit to $1000 so we could finish our shopping, which expired last night at midnight.
The thing that rally pissed me off was, she said I was notified of this fiasco. I politely disagreed with her, and she said, "that's fine". WTF? I didn't receive any notification email 'til 4:52pm yesterday afternoon. I guess "in the coming weeks" we'll get our new cards. |

The hackers caused this - and Target could have protected their systems better.
When you know you shopped at Target during the stated risk dates - did you call your bank? I don't see Chase as doing anything wrong. |
|
I use cash. Hasn`t let me down yet in local stores.
Plastic.... don`t use it much unless I am buying from a website or am forced to use it because the place I am purchasing from, won`t take anything else. When I do, it is a credit card and paid off by the end of the month. I feel for you OP. Seems like more and more events are leading to our loss of freedom. |

He can walk into any chase branch during regular business hours and withdraw all the money he has. His mistake is relying on any card, and not having cash on hand. His point was banks have 10 business days to return the funds used for fraud. So say your bank account was emptied because you used a debit card for purchases rather than a credit card you could in theory wait 10 business days before your money is returned. With credit cards they give a provisional credit until they confirm fraud and apply the creditor reverse the provisional credit depending on whether or not it was fraud. <Used for work in debit/credit card fraud for a top 5 bank. ETA: Chase is covering their ass considering their exposure I would say they had tens of thousands of cards exploited. |

View Quote The stripped down timeline is this: Target finds exploit Narrows the date down and reports the cards to their merchant processor/Credit Card Processor Credit Card Processor gives the banks a list of their effected card numbers Banks manually look at each card and/or depending on size setup a monitoring strategy by throwing on strict purchase limits until they can vet, close, and reissue new cards Don't blame the bank blame the bad guys. |

I did shop and Target during those dates, but with my Target store credit card. I've been checking that account periodically and so far nothing has shown up on it.
|
|
the fucking piece of shit hackers View Quote Yes. Target and Chase were trying to help you and cover their arses. |
|
|
Did you not get the email from Chase regarding this?
I did, yesterday. And I am quite pleased. I had no idea, they did, and they let me know. I have cash in reserve, so I am not worried about it. You shouldn't depend solely on your debit card to buy stuff. I've been meaning to get a new card, so this works out perfect for me. |
|
This is also one of the reasons it's a good idea to keep a fund of emergency cash at home, just in case you can't access your accounts for a while.

View Quote Understood, but I would've liked to have been notified of this BEFORE they reduced my limit and left me standing at the register with no way to pay for my stuff. I do appreciate them taking proactive measures to try to reduce fraudulent activity, however. It was just frustrating since I was unable to get cash from the ATM, and I didn't have my checkbook with me. |

May be a State by State deal but the wife and I have ATM only cards at Chase in NV.
The day they change it is the day I get a different bank. 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. |

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. |

I just got my new one from Chase. $500 ATM limit, $3,000 daily purchase limit.
A few years ago, I was at a gun show and needed $1,000 cash (wasn't planning on buying anything originally, but couldn't pass this up). Knowing that I wouldn't be able to pull that much cash out of the ATM on-site, I called the Chase number on the back of my card. "Hey, I need to pull $1,000 out. Can you authorize that one time?" "Let me check over your account history...Okay, sure. Are you standing at the ATM now?" "Sure am". "Okay, you're authorized for a one-time ATM withdrawal of $1,000. You're still subject to the machine's max per transaction (and their fees), but you'll be able to do it." "Thanks!" "Anything else we can help you with?" "Nope!" Chase rocks, as far as I'm concerned.
