What the hell is up with Mastercard

I figured I would update you guys on this. I found out yesterday that my bank put a "warm" on my mastercard December 6th for unusual spending at Amazon. I went to a bank branch a month ago and they told me there was nothing wrong with the card.

So, after accidentally giving my wife the card for gas in her bike, she came back and said it was declined. Yesterday I received a bill from FedEx. I usually just put the cc number on the shipping label. And still, I thought the swipe strip was bad and FedEx could not read my writing. I then tried to send Sue-fl a Buddy Christ and she never received it. Finally, I called the bank and was told about the unusual spending they saw. I spend just as much at Amazon that very same time every year...just before Christmas

Anyway, my bank said they would reinstate it but when I tested it this morning at my bank's ATM, it said unauthorized use. I had to actually sign a notarized statement saying that I had in fact used the card at Amazon. I just love my small town bank...fuckers. No call from them letting me know, no letter...nothing.

So, it seems Mastercard is fine and my bank sucks.
