I live 3 blocks from a 7-11 store that sells the Zen card. However I was at the credit union and the teller told me I can get VISA gift cards at no additional cost, much safer to use for online purchases. I had my credit union flag the bank card once and when I talked to them about it, they said someone was trying to put money into my account. I said, "And you stopped them!?" LoL

My Perfect World account is so secure that I am utterly unable to access it or buy any zen. Maybe the criminals will have better luck.

The bank my company uses also has stupid stuff like this. I walk in there with a deposit book for the account, intending to deposit 5 digits worth of cheques like we normally do, like the other 30 pages in the deposit book shows.

They wanted me to use a (non-existent) bank card and PIN to verify. Seriously? "We have to make sure nobody's handing out $50k worth of cheques!"

Well said.
