IJP Morgan Chase Debit Card Does Not Work
 

Went to the grocery store and at the Check Out I tried to use my Chase Debit card. DIDN'T" WORK, kept on reading "Chip Malfunction." Tried it at the Customer Service Desk same thing. The Customer Service Supervisor said, "That they are having a lot of Chase Debit cards not work." It was working fine the last time I used it on Sunday???

Called Chase and complained about it..they are sending a new card in 7 to 10 days.

Went to Sams Club and tried to use the Chase Card (to see if it was the grocery stores problem)..same thing DOESN"T WORK. Is this Chase's way of finagling hanging on to the cash for a bit longer????

Remember in 1933 FDR CLOSED THE BANKS where a lot of people lost all their money. To instill confidence in the banking system FDIC was instituted that the government would make good on bank deposits Remember at the same time FDR made it illegal for American citizens to own Gold, this was to force people to use the paper currency. People had to turn in their Gold coins for paper money.

The RUMOR out on Wall Street is that JP MORGAN CHASE is potentially the bank that the FED is accomodating at the REPO Window to keep them afloat...others on that list are possibly Deutsche Bank Credit Swiss or some other European Bank??? We just don't know and won't know for 2 years...it is a secret...

I don't think they'd do something like this on purpose but I've been wrong many times before.

Maybe they had a batch of faulty short lived cards or your card got bent and the chip is damaged.

I have had this card for quite some time...not bent, not damaged..Worked fine on Sunday at Sams Club, sat in my wallet on the counter since..So WHAT CHANGED?

Do the Chips just fail overnight????

Sorry no idea but can they manually input the numbers on the front of the card at the point of sale?

Ya can't double dip yer chip! Mebbe they ran out of salsa or something....wtf knows? Did you try using the magnetic strip or as posted, manually entering the info, etc. I've used 'em where after the chip fails to read 3 times, you use the strip? Makes ya go hmmm???

I'd barter in spoons and rugs if I were you!

Oh yeah....JP ain't got yer dough....Fred does ;)

What to worry about then, they can just print up a bunch to cover it...

the Mag strip on the card DID NOT WORK.. the Store did not or could not input the number manually. Sams Club I didn't even try to get them to manually input the data.

If they take away yer Gold (like in 1933) and Silver then what is left....I plan on using my rugs to fly round on...

That wasn't a "chip" issue if the other ways failed aldo. The "computer" failed....no humans will be held accountable....

Print $$$? How quaint....just flip some bits instead ;)

If that is what you want to call it..fine by me...

So I guess I wouldn't be able to buy food if the computers failed....that is a good case for having a stash of cash..just in case...

Tabs, the selfie that you posted on instagram (or is that snapchat) this morning was great!

They are out to get you, Tabs. They know you are the only person in the world that is on to them and they are after you. It is just the start. They won't stop until they bankrupt you!

LOL...when they snatch the rug right out from under Tabby....he's got more :)!

I've got a Chase card, no issues. The new touchless card has been flawless

Now my Wells Fargo card.

Works when it feels like it which is around 80% of the time.

Sometimes it does take an extra coupla tries.

I love my Apple Card.

Great product. The card is solid metal, not that plasticized metal that some premium cards use but solid as zero flex and you can't bend it.

Within seconds of using it you'll get notification on your phone and the account can be managed straight from the phone, you get a read out of all purchases and can pay the card straight from your digital wallet.

The one thing that does give me pause about the heftiness of it, it will take an edge and I can see some whack job doing just that and using it as a weapon. Makes me wonder if it may become a TSA issue at some point.

I had a Chase card that stopped working. Chip was gone. Sent me a replacement overnight.

Maybe the fraud department saw the large purchase of food and thought it was a fraudulent purchase for your card. ;)

My credit cards are all working fine.

I think they have had server issues recently. My amazon card is thru Chase and went through a period a week ago where it was declined everywhere, including Amazon, despite the balance being well below the card's limit. Suspect its an it issue.

That Tin Foil hat won't do me any good, cause they have already implanted the micro chip inn my brain that controls my every thought and action...:eek:

The tech is really great cause they can beam a TV signal straight into my brain where I actually think I am watching TV...

The craziest program that they beam in on me is that Donald Turmp is President...isn't that wild, that some blowhard like Trump could be President...who thinks these stories up?

I forget to pay my bill sometimes too.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat6.gif

That Tabs guy is OK in my book.

Lots of hot air

But he lives in Vegas. It's hot there.

Whenever and however it fails tabs, one day it will work and the next it will not, kind of the nature of failure. Smart guy like you should know that, and stow the tinfoil hat. What nefarious plot is afoot when you go out in the AM and your car won't start? Not everything is an indicator of your predicted financial collapse friend.

Then WHY SHOULD I USE SOMETHING THAT IS PRONE TO SPORADIC FAILURE if I depend upon it to pay for potentially life sustaining things. Such as gasoline on a trip, or food, or medical services. ... How can you TRUST it, when it might fail when you really need it?If I use CASH instead no problemo.........

The only thing that SPARKED my reptailain thought process was when the store supervisor said, "That there were A LOT of Chase cards that were not working." Hmm that is more than myself that is having a problem with their cards..so that precludes a plot that they are out to get me...but then there are a host of possible reasons for it happening on a wider spread basis??????

Your reptailain thought process could probably think of a few logical explanations.

It took this for it to occur to you an ATM card is less than guaranteed access to your money? Ever heard of a power failure? And don't you constantly warn of the day cash will be worthless? So how is that safer?

Think your tinfoil hat is a little tight today.

You are in middle America hearing hooves and looking for zebras. For a guy that purports to be smart, that is odd behaviour....DP rubbing off on you?

If you ever fly Spirit Airlines don't bother printing out their boarding pass at home.

Their bar codes have a high failure to scan rate, to the point that TSA will make a face when they see one it's that prevalent.

I don't think it's a mass conspiracy to control our travel, simply apathy on Spirits part.

Here is the Hot Air thought of the day...

If you only have a short term memory a set of happen stances and or events will appear to be coincidental to you. If you have a long term memory those happenstances will fit a ongoing pattern or process. Secondly knowing history you can see the historical trajectory of that pattern and offer a prognosis as to outcome.

What I can not get around and avoid are the consequences of a massive Global debt building regime...Global civilization has progressed to the point where that civilization NEEDS it's debt fix (and monetary facilitator) in order to get up and function in the morning. It needs it's Mothers little helper to get by, otherwise the system starts to go into cardiac arrest. All I have done for the past 10 years is repeat that central truth and state the ongoing prognosis of that trajectory.

The latest development in the progress of the need for the Debt fix is the FED offering the fix daily OVER THE COUNTER at the REPO window... That is a very stark and unsettling development/reality. The next step in the progress of the debt regime is for the institutions to start finagling with their cash flow in order to make ends meet (it will start small a few here a few there so as to be unnoticeable). Of course they will make excuses (plausible deniability) as to why it is happening..has that started yet, I just do not know??? It is possible???

Note my question marks. I do not idly put them there.

In life I find it best to keep your ears into the wind..to remain wary...especially of Greeks bearing gifts...

Most likely a tech failure of some sort..chip failure or computer failure...who knows????

For whatever reason it failed TRUST has diminished...that is a inescapable reality...

Cheapness...cost control.. they can limp by using chewing gum and duct tape...it speaks to the state of their finances.

I have already spoken to you about this in Post #20. "Then WHY SHOULD I USE SOMETHING THAT IS PRONE TO SPORADIC FAILURE if I depend upon it to pay for potentially life sustaining things."

One might think that the Chase server is located in Northern California and is subject to PG&E BLACKOUTS? Our world would come crashing down if the power suddenly went out..one EMP and here comes the Dark Age..that thought is nothing new and something I don't dwell upon..but it remains a real possibility. The real danger is the complacency built into the illusion that tech/science is an unstoppable progressive force. There is a very real fragility to our civilization that has become evermore tech dependent.

Nothing is ever really "safe," it is a complacent illusion...I have long preached that we control virtually nothing, everything is always out of control. We only have the illusion of control as the pendulum usually swings in short arcs..but there is nothing to say that those pendulum swings can't suddenly become wild and unpredictable.

The credit card chip failed. I knew it. I knew it. The sky is falling. Proof positive that the economy is going to crash. :rolleyes:

because you ain’t too bright.

Someone that rants about the failure of the banking system and the descent into anarchy that will follow is now whining because his debit card - and I thought only one pelicanite used those things - isn’t working.

If you don’t have enough cash on your person to cover all your expenses and to get home to where the rest of your cash, food and weaponry is then I’m not going to be kind.

I’m from an age when your card could be swallowed by a machine. Now I always have enough to tide me over. And it doesn’t live in my wallet.

LOL when my debit fails....I just use my homeless sign. Sure beats workin' fer a bank or gettin' tossed out of salsa bars fer dippin' yer chips once to often...just sayin' ;)

Dont say that too loud some homeboys might follow you home and ask for a redistibution of the wealth.

Mother in Tuson told me during a previous crisis that it wont matter if you have plastic or a wheelbarrel full of cash we will all be in a breadline. It was that close of a run thing.

The fragility of the system is increasing..

A note. My chase cards work just fine.

It is rather sad that we are dependent on a piece of plastic, working or not, to make a simple transaction. That much control over our lives may prove to be societies undoing. God forbid the EBT cards stop working cause than Wal-Mart will just let you leave with baskets full of stuff no matter what... https://www.naturalnews.com/042479_EBT_cards_Walmart_looting.html

This may not be what happened in your case, but, if your card has been compromised, rather than call and tell you, most bank fraud departments just disable you chip.

Some readers display not approved
Others display chip failure.

(causing your to contact them to get a new on)
Often they don't share much about the fraud so yo may never know how where or when it was compromised)

Or, perhaps someone’s irrational paranoia is escalating.

Probably because you aren't over-drawn.

This kinda comes under what I said ....Hacking or compromise..

I used the card again at Trader Joes...the chip did not work BUT THE SWIPING DID...30 minutes later at a Grocery store it was a no go either way...

nope.. I called and checked the balance to make sure.
