No credit. No problem

There is no better time to not have a credit card than when you are getting ready to move cross country. Yesterday morning as I was at Acura dropping my car off for an oil change I got a call from Visa alerting me there has been suspicious activity on my card. I immediately called D to see what she had been buying and it turns out it wasn't her. Visa cancels my card and is in the process of sending me a new card. No big deal, right? Also yesterday I was scheduling the auto transporter to move our cars from AZ to FL. It's all well and good until she asks for the credit card number for the deposit. I told Nicky Hilton I would call her back today with the cc # because I had another one at home. Paris' sister isn't helping us move our cars, it turns out the girl's name is Nicole and she works for Hilton Auto transport. So we call her Nicky Hilton.

Nicky Hilton called this morning looking for the credit card info to process the transaction and I decided to give her the number to the Visa card that had been turned off. So right out of the shoot I look like a dead beat trying to pull one over on the hotel heiress. Then I go to the secret stash with the other credit cards are that I don't carry on my person. It turns out those have expired. I have to call Nicky back after I call American Express asking for a new card. AMEX will be sending it overnight which I kind of think Visa should have done.

You know you're getting more than your scheduled $29.99 oil change when you go home in the dealer loner car and your service advisor tells you to bring it back tomorrow when you get a chance. I think I got car jacked. I went in for the scheduled oil change and $650 later I ended up with two new tires along with a fancy wheel alignment. Now only if I had a working credit card I would have spent enough money to get a free airline ticket to lessen the blow. Instead I had to use my debit card and watch the money walk out of my account with a single swipe of the card. As I'm making small talk with the advisor she's telling me all the hours she's been working. I asked her if she gets paid salary or hourly. She tells me she's on commission. Thanks for the two new tires!!! I did make sure I went back and loaded up on the complimentary cookies, soda and coffee to make myself feel better.
