So, I ordered my Eee PC last Tuesday from Amazon.com because I figured that I could save with them by getting free shipping and having no tax charged to me. Now, I think I would have rather paid a little more than be in this not-so amusing nightmare.

I check my email and find out that my order has been delayed because my credit card was declined. So, I go and check the credit card information on Amazon and discover that I had not updated my credit card with the new expiration date. I then quickly fix this and try contact Amazon to retry to charge my card.

In a little while, I get a message that says that my card refuses the charge. Apparently, my Amazon.com card considered Amazon's tries as attempts of fraudulent use. My Amazon.com credit card now doesn't want to take any orders from me at Amazon.com.

After three days of waiting for Amazon.com and Amazon.com credit card (Chase) to resolve the issue, I decided to cancel my order and use a different credit card. I won't get any points for my order and I'll be getting the bloody thing a lot later than I planned.
