Yes, but that dosn't mean anythng (it was an observation, not a flame). "Piece of geek" isn't something a native speaker would say, and Janis Joplin recorded a song called "Piece of My Heart". |

Where did you find anything about a $1500/day spending limit?
I guess my eyes are giving me trouble again, I can't find it. "Sparky" wrote in message ... Irene wrote: "Linebacker" wrote in message newsQnSd.28393$ya6.13774@trndny01... BWAHAHA you have a limit!

I don't see any problem in expressing my
opinion with the only will of helping others not to be through the same torture of a DELL no-service ... are you Taliban or what? Thanks to this thread, I decided to check up on my particular credit cards. I have AMEX and Mastercard. What I found out was I have no daily limit. I can charge up to the maximum allowed on my cards in one day if I desire. HOWEVER, there is a catch and I think it is what caused the OP problems. I was told that the CC computers know what type of purchases we usually charge and if a large charge suddenly comes in, the CC company will reflag it and block the charge until they can get in touch with us and acknowledge that is really our charge. It is a protective device they use. Not too long ago Mastercard cancelled my card because I charged medications from a Mail Pharmacy out of town and they said it was not a normal charge for me. I insisted it was and the next day they had to Fedex me a new card. They told me to avoid these problems card holders are encouraged to call them "before" they make a large purchase or anything unusual. Anytime we take a trip, I always advise them to prevent the card being cancelled when out of town charges appear. This thread can be a learning experience for anyone who does not know CC companies have these rules. Unless the OP has a card with special rules provided in his case, one call to AMEX could have prevented all the hassle with Dell, IMO. I, am grateful to him that he shared his problem with us so that I can know what to do to avoid such a problem if I ever get around to purchasing a computer from any company. Thanks! Bea |

I have NEVER had a charge "blocked". We have been called or emailed a
couple of times because it was a charge to a merchant that we had not bought from before. The last was a new HiDef Plasma TV. The bank called us and asked us to "confirm" the purchase. I thought it a little unusual at the time because the TV had already been delivered and installed before the email was dated. .. "Bea Xxxx" wrote in message ...
