I also had to "account" for every recent purchase I have made. Now I don't mind them being on top of this BUT they could notify me! They send out letters telling me about this change and that change, that its going to cost me $3 a month for a paper statement, another telling that their checking is no longer free and will be $10 a month, but they cannot send me a letter telling me my card is being cancelled? I had to go to the bank, get cash, and go back and get my groceries all over again. Needless to say we are NOT happy bankers and are now looking for a new bank.
had this happen with hobby lobby too!
can't blame the bank..won't do any good to change either..they ALL do it...and if they had NOT and your info was stolen they would have gotten the blame anyway....
there are banks ready to do away with debit cards...too costly for them to keep doing all of this...cash will be king again soon!
