This was confirmed by the nice costco lady. If you have a costco mastercard, it is being switched over to the cibc mastercard. blah.
So, all my automatic payments on that card are being turned back. You can't buy anything on the internet with this card. cibc has a system to reactivate the card, but it doesn't work. You only have your landline on the file, and they keep trying to send a text to it for the security code. They claim they can do a voice message, but it doesn't work.
We've got ruskie tanks stuck in the mud, but Canadian computer systems rival that. Good thing I have an amex card as backup. You need two separate cards as backup, because the scammers are always hitting one card or the other.
All giant Canadian computer screw-ups never hit the main news, because it happens all the time. We are immune to cyber-warfare because nothing works. :)
ps. omg, it takes 20 minutes of their effort early in the morning, and they can't do anything. You have to show up at a branch, and who knows if that will work? I'll wait.
