Amazon

Here we go, Banks are inherently poor at CS, its not in the DNA.

For a very long time I have enjoyed a bit of solace and safe harborage here at usaa.

That sadly has slipped to the point where I now actively believe that there is certainly better out there.

I have been having recurrent dificulty with USAA computers flagging amazon monthly subs, and declining them.

You call, go thru the new really obstructive  voice prompts (just punch in 30-40 numbers,  you get a slag on the line)

Now its flagging single item purchases from amazon, so I call, they deflag, I go back into amazon, re re authorize.

I was told that if I "don't want the strong fraud protection, I should try another bank"

I guess I will,...

Mebbe some distraught deplorable has reprogramed the flagging algorythms in a stab at Bezos

Mebbe the tipping point of Nophuqzgived millenials has been reached.

Mebbe the pretense of being a huge one stop shop for the financial needs of a veteran,

While in fact being a general con-tractor to a horde of poorly vetted private companies,

became to much to sustain.

like the stations on  "The 100"  it is intentionally breaking apart as it deorbits

Don't buy USAA's comment about their fraud protection. They don't have any. Google "USAA and fines" and you'll hear a different story. They're just feeding you a line. You can also read the countless complaints on this website and Consumer Affairs. They can't even manage to post a pending charge (the moment your card is scanned) on their website. Unfortunately, USAA Bank lost its touch several years back and decided to do more business with my credit union. I left three years ago and I have USAA to thank for that. Don't let them treat you like adolescent like they did me, a retire Lt Col with over 22yrs. Good luck.
