I have to say, Bob, that Chase reversed the charges within 10 minutes, credited the account while they did their investigation I should say, they were actually very good about that, I was more upset with their devil may care attitude and with Direct TV. That being said I use my debt card less and less and cash more and more now, why leave yourself open for no reason.
