I dont have any other accounts with them, and I never did in the past

I was just surprised that they verbally took correct SS after I butchered it on the app, without asking for any documentation 🤷‍♀️

One bit of warning: comparatively speaking their fraud detection algorithms can be fairly aggressive, don't be shocked if you get a text requesting validation or a denial on your first large purchase that is followed in several minutes by a phonecall from a security analyst to confirm it was you.

If I can paraphrase a great explorer, Jinxer no jinxing!  I've been lucky with them and never had an alert.  Fingers crossed.

I somehow ended up with a $200 on my DoubleCash as well. 

It's almost (but not quite) worth taking a HP just to be able to request a specific amount, but with my luck they would be unable to approve my entire request and I would end up with yet another oddball limit.

LOL! 

The last time I used my DoubleCash for a "keep alive" purchase was for a bag of ice in a different state and it went through with no drama.  It had been a while since I had used the card and I was expecting some hassle but there was none.

That was back in the spring... I guess it's time for another bag of ice.

I have stories including when I bought my iPhone7 from the Target in Salem NH.   

think the best one though was the letter addressed to my estate asking what kind of payment arrangements were going to be made to satisfy my account.

Yeah, my last 6 or 7 out-of-state trips I forgot to set travel notifications on my Premier.  No issues.
