Vent: My card got declined at a farmers market in Asheville and I was just stuck.

The vendor only took digital payments and my bank had flagged the transaction as suspicious. It made me realize how helpless you are when the system decides you can't spend your own money. Has anyone else had a payment freeze lock them out at a bad time?

Ugh, that's the worst. Happened to me trying to get gas on a road trip once. Felt so stupid just standing there while the bank's robot held my money hostage.

My bank's fraud alert saved me from a gas station skimmer last month, juliarodriguez.

Seriously? It's just a farmers market.
