rclouse79 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I was reading over new posts and my stomach just sank. Last Thursday I called because my credit card had been canceled for some stupid security breach reason. Yup you guessed it, same card I put in for the elk draw. I want to break something right now so bad. I went on the site to update my info, but I know it is too late. Time to go sell something and buy and out of state tag.

123456 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 Happened to me a few years ago too. Talk about a bad feeling. I love it when B of A cancels a card and just sends you a new one. Thank god my card was only being used for the skunk pigs. I wasn't nearly as bent as I would be if it was for deer, elk or antelope. Good luck in other states.

aggiejake Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I know what your feeling. Just found out this morning my card had been hacked friday and therefore shut off. Only reason I knew was cause the Bass Pro order I tried doing Tuesday night didn't go through. When it hadn't gone through this morning, cause I checked my account for G&F charges as soon as I woke up, I knew something was wrong. Called the bank and they told me the bad news. The one thing I am worried about is that I lost my bonus point for this year if my app got drawn and then my card was rejected. I am just hoping right now that I didn't get drawn at all and that way I will just get my point this year for my $7.50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted March 21, 2013 Same thing happened here. First B of A considered some of my applications to be "duplicate charges" and rejected them because they came from the same vendor for the same amount in under 15 minutes (Thanks to G&F contractors for that), they then suspended the card, and issued a new one. I updated my info with G&F and wouldn't you know it, for the first time in years, not a single hit. So my boys all lost whatever antelope tag apps I've put them in for over the years just to build loyalty points, plus they didn't even get a chance to draw for the rejected apps & lost loyalty points - I don't know why I'm still with B of A. They are rabidly anti Second Amendment, now they are hosing up my kids' apps. Not to mention what a loser the new online draw process is - in this day and age, to have such a P.O.S. online application system is beyond belief, especially given the revenues that G&F gets from having such a system. Coming from a software engineer with around 2 decades of experience, the online draw experience is a case study in everything you could possibly do wrong. I truly hope some undergrad is writing his or her thesis on how government subsidized software blows chunks, and uses the current online app system employed by G&F as the crown jewel of their findings. 2 or 3 freelance developers could build a better system over a long weekend. 3 - 8 monkeys with proper training could fair as well. OK - rant over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector Report post Posted March 21, 2013 What banks are you guys using that doesnt notify you of shutting down of your card? I know mine calls right away if they deem something fraudulent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted March 21, 2013 B of A was diligent about noting that they saw what they deemed to be fraudulent activity with my card before shutting it down. However, the confirmation from G&F came before B of A became involved. I'll just say, this is a very new thing - I have applied using that card many times, even given the shortcomings of the vendor G&F is using, and had never had a problem. In defense of B of A, there have been several occasions that they successfully recognized purchases that were suspect, and notified me immediately to either verify or decline the charges. LOL, guess I answered my own question there. The real fault lies in the vendor G&F is working with, as we all can surmise, isn't their first choice either.

Elkhunter1 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I have a Cabela's card, they called me over a $1.50 transaction they thought was not right. They are definitely on the ball! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aggiejake Report post Posted March 21, 2013 I am with chase. The crazy thing is some of my family had fraud stuff and were notified right away. Don't know if I just fell through the cracks or something. I am not putting any blame on them, I am glad they shut my card off so I don't lose any money. It just stinks that it had to happen this week of all weeks.I am just hoping I can still get a bonus point this year so its not a total loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1uglydude Report post Posted March 21, 2013 From now on I will be hand delivering a money order to the Game and Fish Department. At the last Commission meeting there was talk of going to only online with no paper whatsoever by the 2014 elk draw. That would be next year. The Department is also committing itself to investing in a better online system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it that hard or doesn't it cost that much to use the vendors/systems that other states use any modify them to our states laws and guidelines? I've applied in other states for 8 yrs now and NEVER had any problems. Maybe I don't hear about them, I don't know. For example, NM IMO has the best system. It's user friendly and simple. The draw back, they pull the full tag amount. But the draw is complete around 30 days. I'll pay the interest for thirty days so I don't get axed on the draw. No goat rope like we have every time! I would love to brag about how great our system is here in Az. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues79 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 Would it be too much to ask to have a backup card to use as a feature incase the primary card has problems such as this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
