Ugh, we contacted Chase since we were going on an 'out-of-the-ordinary' road trip.spoke with fraud dept and gave them our travel itinerary, hoping to prevent cards from being frozen while we were in questionable cell coverage areas.
Everything went fine until the last gas stop before arriving to our destination... only to find our cards frozen anyhow.
It took about 25 mins to get cleared up, but these big corps are so heavily dependent on automation, they can't deviate because the system will take its own actions anyhow.
I, for one, am tired of living in a society that somehow isn't able to routinely think/behave proactively rather than reacting only once "the system will let you".
