Weird banking experience. very strange.

i was buying some tickets thru Orbitz. I entered my CC info. a few minutes later, it came back saying bank denied transaction. i tried it agian with a different CC and voila no problems.

i called the bank and they said, they never denied the transaction and i had more than enough funds to cover.

WTF?

also, orbitz charged me $1.00 (usually do this to verify CC) and a $30 fee. 🙁

they better refund that money or i'll be a very unhappy customer.

OTOH, i did snag 5 tickets from Philly Airport to LAX for $966.00. pretty good price, altho it does have 1 stop over, in chicago.

both were debit cards.

this is the 2nd time this has happened to me with that debit card in the last 2 weeks.

i asked them to send me a new card. we'll see. it's part of the fleet to bankofamerica bugaboo i bet.
 
most debit card have a daily spending limit.
so even if you have a million bucks in the bank, you can only 'charge' $600-900 a day
i run into this problem all the time at work.
 
yeah, I bought off orbitz once with a check card and had the foresight to call into my bank and have the daily spending limit lifted.

sorry dude, but them's the breaks. bitch like hell.

that's what's weird. i called the bank and they said, they didn't deny the charge. they saw the verification come thru and they were waiting for the final charge to come thru but nothing.

weird. this is the 2nd time this type of thing has happened to me in the last 10 days, i asked them to send me a new card as if i had lost mine. they agreed to do that.

weird.

I thought this only applied to cash withdrawls from an atm? Isn't the limit like $2000 a day? Because my bro once drew $1000 from his account from a BofA atm no problems.

my Debit card spending limit is $3000.00 and it's flexible. you can call them and ask them to change it.

i don't know how anyone could stand having a $600 limit. what would be the point?

i called orbitz and they said that the $30.00 charge is just a soft charge, they just did it to verify funds but won't actually put the charge thru.
