so i've never had an american express card before, but i hear they have a great platnuim card that gives me 1.5 air miles for every canadian dollar spent - so i figgure I'll use it and within 2 months with my bandwidth bills be at the top of air canada's points reward program allowing for free upgrades from coach to first class... good idea right??

so i wana charge my bandwidth bill on it, and knowing that the amount in question is more than your typical charge at a hotel or restruant, i call them to verify that i can do this. They tell me i have to prove that i have the funds first - no biggie - hell i'll even pre-pay but they so no, just prove you have the ability to pay this. ok. so i give them my banking info and they contact my bank and my bank responds that it's no problem. ok, so i go ahead and make the charges - DECLINED.

what the fuck?

I call amex and they tell me that was an unusuallly large charge amount and they always decline charges of that size on a new account. grrrr - i quietly and politly remind her that i pre-arranged this with amex 2 days ago. i get every excuse under the sun. finnally a supervisor tells me that they need 48 hours to process info received from my bank which was FAXED in yesterday. so i have to patiently wait till tomorrow to see if i can infact do this. in the mean time i'm left looking like i dont pay my bills!!!!!!! grrrrrrr
