Tremont Credit Union sucks
Sigh. Hotel reservations are open for Arisia, and I want to make sure we don't end up stuck in the overflow hotel; that would almost make it pointless to attend the con in the first place!
So I went to the Arisia website and tried to make a reservation. Unfortunately, my debit card expires before Arisia takes place, and I can't make the reservation unless my card will be good through the date of the con. I'll get a new card sent to me in November...but by the the odds are good that the hotel will be full.
So I called my credit union to see if I could find out what the new expiration date will be. With that info, I could have booked the room.
But they say they don't have that information, and I'll just have to wait until November.
I'll use Teri's card tonight, of course, but it still sucks. And I haven't forgotten that when Tremont CU took over the old Plan Credit Union, they assured us that they wouldn't close the branch inside our building...and then did close it within six months.
The next nearest branch is far enough away that getting there and back would take more time than we're alloted for lunch.
And we had only one ATM that we could use without getting surcharged to death - a little machine in a secure area of the building. It's frequently either broken or out of cash when I need it most (particularly on Fridays and before holidays). It's usually out of service for days.
So, as I said before, the Tremont Credit Union sucks.
