Right but who has like three grand just sitting in a checking account, that shit in a savings account because I'm not Bill Gates and I need every penny I can get from the interest? If they're not going to tell you at the time that you pre-order when they're going to bill you, then they need to contact you ahead of time or that's going to keep happening.

    I mean, I have that in my account. But I'm also paranoid about bounced checks and don't see the appeal of getting a nickel a month in exchange for worrying about something suddenly eating my float and causing bounced checks.

    The interest rate on the savings account tied to my checking is not great...

    Literally no one does it like that...no one. You place an order for something that's backordered, they also don't charge you until it's shipped, and you won't get notified beforehand either.

    Notify me would literally be an email they couldn't even be bothered to do that.

    You would have thought they actually wanted the three grand, like contacting me cost cost them nothing and they didn't do it they just cancelled the order.

    I cannot express this part enough, the time between the pre-order and them charging me was like 5 months. I'm not going to keep massive amounts of money in a personal account for months on end just so they can randomly charge for it on a arbitrary Wednesday afternoon that's ridiculous.
