Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, I did not buy anything today. I went to the bank to have a money transfer from Norway, and they managed to block my card in the bank. I can not understand that they can never learn. So, I have to wait until 6 or so tomorrow morning and then call VISA in Norway and have them release the card. This has come up I have no idea how many times, but the bank here refuse to tell their tellers that they must not attempt to bypass the pin code on European debit or credit cards, it is considered attempt on fraud, and last I had the issue VISA over there was considering my bank an unsafe bank. So, it might end up with that I have to change bank, if I can find an American bank who do not try to bypass pin codes. So, my day went down the drain fast today.

In addition it ended up being roasting here, over 90, and it happened fast in the morning. So, I have been sitting inside being depressed and sulking. And not been good company for myself even. :)

Why aren’t you doing direct wire transfers to your bank in the US and skipping VISA? I move funds back and forth between Australia and the US that way all the time. PIN codes are not required, just bank to bank.
