It’s not terrible – just going to be time-consuming.  So no “Friday Fun”.

On January 2nd I got a notification from one of my credit cards that there was activity on my account that they didn’t recognize & looked suspicious.

On review, I didn’t recognize it either – so I called. They decided that “out of an abundance of caution” they would terminate that card & send me a new one.

The next day when I logged in, it was clear that the unrecognized action was an online donation on 12/31 to an organization I had previously always written a check.

But the die was cast!

I got my new card the other day and activated it today. And I decided that since it’s been a while, I would go ahead and change my User & Password.

Unfortunately this created a HUGE snafu requiring three f/u (the medical “follow-up” … NOT the other f/u) phone calls and over 2 hours to straighten out. (*sigh*)

But now I have to contact 15 “Merchants” who I setup as automatic payments and notify them of my new card number, expiration date & CVV/CVC number.

My weekend beginning tomorrow is shot.

Like I said – not terrible, just time-consuming.
