This sounded like a no brainer. A card that always pays 2.5%, just keep some money with them. Here is my story:
First, I unfroze my credit. (no big deal)
I filled out their paperwork and they pulled my credit. (Again, normal)
Then they called to verify the phone number matched the account along with the last 4 of my social( Starting to get annoyed but still OK)
Then things went south fast:
They required a color copy of my drivers license. That wasn’t enough so they asked for the following:
Please provide a color copy “signed” social security card for the primary applicant, along with proof of address. Any one of the following documents can be accepted:
(My SS card is 50 years old. Does anyone think the signatures will match? And at what point is too much information being shared? Remember, they already pulled my credit and asked me to confirm last 4 of Social)
I did send it 2 of the below but with the color copy “Signed” social security card, we ended at an impasse.
Utility bill showing service address (gas, water, electricity, cable, internet, home phone, trash, sewer)3
Bank mortgage statement (must show property address)3
Lease agreement3
Credit card/bank statements3
Car title3
Vehicle insurance bill/policy3
Vehicle registration3
Homeowners property tax bill3
Property Insurance bill3
Voter’s registration card
Phone bills (landline or mobile)
Now I am in the process of getting the savings/checking account closed and my money refunded.
