I went to activate the card online (normally I use the phone) and they wanted:
-- card number
-- 3 digit security code
-- my FULL social security number
-- date of birth
-- account type
-- account number
-- old card number (the visa it's replacing)
-- expiration date of old card
Fuck all that. I'm not giving them my full social security number.
I called the 800 number where they wanted:
-- card number
-- 3 digit security code
And then the robot happily informed me that my card was activated.
Can we get a LOL out there?
