PSA: Chase will kill your debit card if you buy an iPad.

[amdhunter]

Happened again. I just bought a Macbook Air and it was declined (Chase Credit Card this time), they had to call them to get authorization. Racist bastards did it again. Oh and they asked me to answer no less than 10 questions, half of which I had no idea how to answer. (When did I last register my Mitsubishi Galant? - WTF, I don't know that???)

After about 20 minutes - Apple had to use an old school swipe machine to authorize my credit card purchase. I was like what the hell. Stupid Apple. Oh, and I asked for the Thunderbolt Gigabit adapter, and he gave me a normal USB Ethernet one. *sigh*

--- OLD OP Below.

I've bought tons of shit with my debit card ranging from cheap $5 items to over $3k and never had an issue.

I bought an iPad and all of a sudden Chase decides to put a fraud alert on my debit card. Fuck Chase, I guess they think that minorities can't afford iPads.

Can you imagine how poor I looked trying to buy lunch with my debit card in a place I go to every other day, and get denied? (They let me eat for free though!)

Minorites should never use Chase. Racist ass bank.

This thread was a stupid troll thread when first posted and time has not improved it.

how does chase know you are a minority?

 

[Gibson486]

that has to be the dumbest thing i read all year.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

Ban, stop trying to play the race card. Im sure they have a check box in their system that reads "Minority" :rolleyes"

Pretty easy to tell from my last name.

 

[Deeko]

I REALLY hope you're joking about the race thing. Seriously.

Then again, given who the OP is, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[gaidensensei]

I bet it was the tilaka, they based it on that.

 

[SunnyD]

Stop using stolen debit cards and then Chase won't be locking them out on you.

Wow, you guys are thick.

See that's the thing. I use my debit card all the time, but the one question they asked was about a purchase made at Apple...lol

Do banks check signatures? Apple uses this stupid modified iPod touch that they make you sign with your finger. I clumsily signed it and said whatever. Could that have set it off?

so the denial/approval algorithm in chase's software checks the account holder's last name?

this is your hypothesis?

 

[pcgeek11]

It's because in your credit application you said you were straight male so buying an iPad through up tons of red flags

 

[her209]

Free iPad?

[amdhunter]

I don't like you guys that much.

I haven't whined about something here for months. (I think.)

 

[ViviTheMage]

Maybe you should get a promotion from the "Black Man iPod Factory" and get up to the "Black Man iPad Factory" and help us all out.

[AMDZen]

If you were asian, yea you can tell by the last name. How can you tell a black man by his last name?

This is why people don't like black people, including other black people
