Credit bureaus are slammed lately due to an incredible amounts of fraud. Unfortunately their automated systems seem to work as poorly as most companies.YES! I had to call credit bureau and it took 25 minutes to get to a human. She asked what help I needed and when I told her she directed me back to automated system after I just told her it did not work!
I totally agree!!! I feel like an idiot when I can’t figure it out and have to get one of the kids to find the right source and put the show on.
You beat me to it. You have to have a smart phone. You have to download an App. You have to make sure your phone is charged. You have to hope the venue is set up so during day events the sun doesn't wash out the screen so the readers the attendants have can read them, and hope the crack in the screen doesn't prevent it from being read. Okay, I am a grumpy 64 year old, but the ticket takers at Spring Training are mostly volunteers, many are snowbirds in their 70's and 80's, standing in the 100 degree sun, trying to get technology they don't understand to work.Buying event tickets. No more box offices or same-day on-site sales. Everything is through Apps now, some of which work better than others. Tickets to sporting events are almost completely controlled by 3rd party re-sellers.I lament for the days of just walking up, paying cash for a paper ducat and keeping the stub for a memento.
I teach at a Title I HS where this is a very common issue, not just with grandparents. We have a very large population who don't have credit cards, that only use cash from cashing in paychecks. CIF apparently either doesn't know that there are people who don't have credit cards or (and I'm guessing this is actually it) they just don't care. They want people to buy tickets through their site (which also charges a fee -_-) for all playoff games so they can get their money automatically. Thankfully our AD knows this is just not realistic for our population and still allows people to get in at the door with cash. He still sends CIF our portion but it's just aggravating!
Just look at what they are doing to the innocent Russian citizens to see what is in store for us. Internet, communications, banking, their cars, all shut down at the click of a mouse.
Oh, I so agree! I bought a new car 18 months ago, and I just don't care to own a radio this complicated. I have no interest in connecting my phone and my car, but I sure do wish I had a CD player.
I'd be willing to take my chances. And the fact that passwords now need to be so convoluted is a major pain. I had to set up an account to run a new app yesterday and this was their protocol: Minimum 10 letters with at least two uppercase and at least two numbers and at least 1 special character and no two letters/numbers/characters repeated in a row (such as aa, 22 or ##).
