Open a new credit card and receive free ********** activities before it is even active

<p>I opened a new FNB Premier Credit Card account last week, on Friday. They mailed my card to me and received it on the Monday. I followed the instructions to activate the card. At first I was impressed. Until I went to the ATM to test if the card is working. It showed a message that the card is deactivated. So much for first impressions. I phoned the premier group of bankers, who told me I must go to a branch for the activation of the card. Which I did on the Friday afternoon.</p> <p> </p> <p>After finally getting tge card activated I tested it once again, and guess what? It said insufficient funds, on a new credit card that hasn't been used with R50 000 available. So I went back to the branch. They put me on the phone with the group of bankers and the conclusion: suspected ********** activities on my account, therefore it is blocked! </p> <p> </p> <p>They could not help me in the branch, and put me on the phone, again! This time to the credit card ***** department. And they couldn't even tell me why the account is blocked. And to top it off, it's Friday afternoon and they can't help me over the weekend. I must call them again on Monday. </p> <p> </p> <p>So if you'd like to open a credit card account and not be able to use it and struggle with people not being able to help you, FNB is the place to go</p>
