  1. If I have a problem with most companies, I always go to self service information on the internet. I never call “customer service” numbers unless I have a problem so complex that it requires a Real Person.

    I’m just trying to do the right thing and report the lost card, but Citibank made it. So. Very. Difficult.

    End thread.

  2. Eventually I got an agent and told her that I found a lost credit card. She took the card number and took care of it in only a few seconds, as opposed to the 5 minutes it took me to get a Real Person™. #phonetreehell #ivr

  3. Next, I shouted “Agent” and pressed 0 on the keypad. I repeated this maybe a dozen times. It said that it would connect me to an agent but I needed to give the card number. I think I dropped an F-bomb at the computer. 🤬

  4. A short thread about phone tree hell.

    On a walk today, I found a lost Citibank credit card. I wanted to call them to report the lost card.

    The automated system first asked me to enter the card number. I refused because it’s not my card. Next, it told me to enter my social security number. Again, I don’t have that info.
