I don't understand it. The other day, I went to put some gasoline (a nice $3.39/gal here) into my vehicle, and it was prepay only. No prob, I like this anyway. However, they took cash or debit only. Well, I am not a cash person, so I attempted to use my TCF card. Unbeknown to me, TCF is set up as a credit only, not debit...even though it works in the cash machine. So, there I was, feeling like a retard with no money trying to fill my tank. I went into the store, and the attendant stated the same, and pointed me to an ATM machine. GRRR. If I wasn't going to be late for work, I would have just left, however I had to get some gas in to get there. So, after paying my $2.50 ATM fee for my $3.39 a gallon gas, I managed to fill up.
I didn't think this was too strange, until I went to the grocery store...SAME THING. Why doesn't my TCF work?!? I did open an account here, but I did not take the time to remember the damn PIN. I had cash this time, but still...seriously? Matt did a little research and said that his card doesn't work either, as it was set up in Minnesota, even though it is an US Bank account. Frustration!!!
So, now I learned where to go and where not to go. When I went to Target today, I paid with my Seattle account, and it prompted for my PIN. Why can't things just be easy, and take my money!??! At least I know my PIN now, but really? Why!? Besides all these frustrations, they all prompt you for your zip code...fine, I can deal with that...added security, right? But my PIN is meant for my ATM for me to get cash. That is it, how I see it.
This combined with the weird milk that I can't figure out are just causing so much frustration!!! I even found a LONG gray hair today....of course, I freaked out; Matt just laughed. Argh.

Before you know it, you'll be talking with your hands too!!!! I LOVE IT...just wait till Pebbles starts telling you that you are just like grandma Kirchner!
Don't worry Bambie my TCF card gives me the same grief here in MN. Luckily every where I go I can use it as a credit card. The Debit feature does not work with TCF. Oh and yes my dear cousin it gets better. Not only do you get to pay the $2.50 fee for useing a non TCF machiene You friends at TCF will also chare you another $3.00 for useing a non TCF ATM.
grr! TCF be gone!!! no more of them---oh, but wait---it is nearly impossible to close the account from out of state....have to wait unitl Matt and I are both back in MN to do it!
