I realized something today

January 31st, 2009 at 02:44 am

This morning when I did my usual check-in of my various financial places, I noticed that Yodlee wasn't able to log in to my MyPoints Visa account.

I wanted to figure out why, so I went to the actual site. MyPoints Visa is a WAMU branded card, so Chase is taking over it. The problem was that they were forcing me to change my username! I couldn't use the same one I was using - I HAD to change it!

I tried about 6 different variations, and they wouldn't accept any of them. So I finally had to go and make a really long that will be a PAIN to type in.

Once I got on to my account, I noticed a big button saying something about learning about the changes. After reading that, I came to the realization that my easy way of earning lots of points will soon be a way of the past.

After March 1, I'll only be able to earn points by reading emails or buying stuff from linked websites. Le sigh.

It wss good while it lasted.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow night. I'm going to be attending a meetup at a vegetarian restaurant. They have quite a good selection. Their prices are pretty good too.

    that sucks, I have BoA and I love the idea that I earn points by simply using the cash especially if I pay the balance off right away

    Ooo, I'm getting the same must-change-username warning on my checking and savings account. Thanks for the warning! :P

    Amber,

    Yeah, it does stink. I don't know for sure that they're not going to convert it into one of their style of rewards programs, but as far as I could tell, they aren't going to. I guess time will tell.

    baselle,

    What was even more annoying was that I tried using the same user name I have for my Chase bank account, and they wouldn't accept it!

    I hate usernames...I forget mine all the time because there are different rules about them regarding each site.
