A bit of an annoyance today as it turns out my credit card has been blocked and the only way to unblock it is by calling the bank. What is particularly annoying is that I didn’t know there was a block at all, I thought it was an internet issue so kept trying to use it and then checking the app which didn’t say anything, including on the page where you can block the card yourself if you want. What’s the point of an app if it won’t tell you the card is blocked? Leave alone the point of an app which asks you to verify a payment and then blocks the card anyway.
Well, I’ll be back in the UK in a bit so can unblock it then, but it is very frustrating.
Meanwhile one of our joint cards was also blocked, meaning that the Spotify subscription has lapsed and it turns out the reason is that someone had tried to do a bunch of fraudulent transactions on it so they blocked it, as usual without telling anyone. At least that card has a personal banker attached to it, so she should be able to sort it out.
Meals were also unsatisfying as I shopped poorly. And I didn’t finish any of the work I had planned to, and it’s now piling up, all this in my last week in Bangkok.
Hmph.
