[P]You might also ASSUME that your credit union's computer system was down. You might also ASSUME that the network connections for ALL banks were down. You can ASSUME a bunch. Momma told me something about what happens when you ASSUME. [/P]
[P]And since you are such an infrequent shopper, looking only for the bargains and not shopping there unless there is a sale on something you need, then perhaps they do not offer the same services that they do for their premier customers who routinely pay full retail for their purchases. [/P]
[P]Interesting that you will vote with your wallet. I commend you for that. I, too vote with my wallet and will not give business to any company who charges me a hundred bucks to change plans, or who takes all my money if I cannot make a flight for any reason. [/P]
[P]But you know, as a lowlife, scum of the earth low class Walmart shopper and low cost (Walmart of the skies) flyer, I can take back something, even if I lost the receipt and I'll get my money...ALL my money... back (look ma, no voucher). Funny how Dillards won't give me the time of day without my receipt. And I get to use every dollar I spend on my WalMart airline, even if my plans change. [/P]
[P]It's kind of funny how retail and airlines have a lot of similarities. But you learn something every day, based on your post, I won't be seeing many immigrants on USAirways. They most likely couldn't afford it anyways...and who really needs their dollars, even though they spend just as well as Donald Trumps dollars. [/P]
