• Where's My Credit Card?????

    March 6 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F

    I had breakfast this morning, met some more people, then went back to the room to get geared up so I could ride only a few miles away to pick up my brand new eyeglasses and sunglasses. I ordered them a few weeks ago in Cincinnati, and they mailed them down to a store here since I was going to be here for a few days. Too cool.

    There was a nails place in the same shopping center, so I got a pedicure. When I went to pay, my credit card didn't work. I used my debit card, but after I paid I immediately went to my credit card app to see if something was wrong. I had recently paid the balance, so it wasn't maxed out. It didn't appear to be locked or suspended. Confused as to why it would not work, I asked the chatbot why my transaction was declined. The bot told me to call the number on the back of the card about that issue. So I turned the card over looked at the back and said, "That's not my name. If I have this guy's card, he must have gotten mine at the hotel bar last night. So I called the hotel and asked them to connect me to his room. They did, which meant he was still in the hotel and not checked out and traveling somewhere, but he didn't answer. When it sent me back to the front desk, I explained to the representative that I had his credit card and she told me that he had dropped off a card earlier that morning. Yay!!!! So I high-tailed it back to the hotel gave them his card and picked up mine. Disaster averted. Note to self: always check the card they give back to you 🤦.

    The rest of the day I just hung out at the hotel talking to people, including that guy 🤣🤣🤣. Around 1600 we did some award presentations, then they served dinner at about 1730.

    One of my friends wanted to sign my bike (and make a donation), which drummed up some other interest. It was a really neat evening and another great day!

    Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
