The other day, I went to Office Depot to make a purchase of around $30. The cashier rang me up, and I slid my card in, hit debit, and entered my pin. Declined. But I knew I had a couple hundred dollars on the card. So I tried again. Still Declined. I went home emptyhanded and checked on line. I saw two postings for Office Depot for the same roughly $30 amount listed as "pending" but not declined. I also saw that I had plenty of money to cover the amount, and couldn't understand why it had been declined. So I called customer service, and listening carefully it wasn't to hard to get to a live representative. I asked why the card had been declined. The representative said that Greendot okayed the transaction, but Office Depot "declined" at their end. She apologized for the inconvenience and explained that both "pending" amounts would become available again within 5 days. I was annoyed, but reassured....</p>...
