Fight against the MasterCard



I really wanna a Master Card, but my wish just like a dream that hardly come true. First of all, I tell you my bank is BMO.

Actually I have applied it six weeks ago but the bank just keep delaying the process. At first, I went to my bank and ask the service people if I can apply a Master Card. They said absolutely no problem and gave a application to fill. After that, they told me your card will be sent to you three weeks later. WOW! That's so easy!! However, things were not going so well as I thought because there was no mail sent to me after three weeks, so I went back to the bank and asked them what happened----the result drove me crazy: they have made a mistake so that I have to apply again. But they kept saying sorry and promised me I can get the card for sure if I could wait another three weeks. So I totally have no method but wait; however, I still haven't received my card after another three weeks. OMG! I rushed to the bank and asked them angrily. They dialed the BMO service number and then told me my card has already been sent! I said are u kidding me. I received nothing! They said only one thing we can do now is to block the card and ask for a new card---it would take five business days.....
After my room-mates knew about it, they tried to comfort me. My room-mates were super nice and they gave me three options to choose. First, go to my bank with a chopper and force them to give me the card. I said no way. I can go any where with a chopper except banks otherwise I will be considered as a bank rubber. Then, they told me to change the bank. I said probably not because everything was well organized and I have to do something like open saving account if I had changed my bank. Finally, they said:" Well, Allen, you have enough reason to suicide...."
By the time I felt extremely terrible, one thing made me really balanced: Mark told me he has applied the Master Card as well in the same bank, but he has been waiting for three months without any results...

Unfortunatelly, such things are happening sometimes. Actually, it reminded me the time when I was waiting for my visa card , also really long. Hope you'll get it very soon!

I have no idea what the hell are they doing in the bank. When I asked the stuff of the BMO about my card's status, they told me no record......It was really nice.

Probably you shouldn't consult your roommates for advice anymore, they don't seem to have solutions that work. I know how annoying such delays can be, but I guess patience is the only way...

Gosh, it sounds like a really frustrating experience. I heard that the Royal Bank always gives out Visa cards to students without any problem.
