TLDR: I knew WestJet was notorious for delays but I hoped for the best. First leg of my trip got delayed which meant I would miss my connecting flight. Had to reschedule everything, which was a major headache and messed with the rest of my trip plans. Next time, I'm paying more to go with a more reputable airline.
---
I'd heard all the terrible things about WestJet, especially about frequent delays, cancellations, and even strikes due to them not paying employees well---but I was hoping for the best and took a gamble.
I had a 4-leg round trip, 3 of which I would've been fine with delays. But of course, the first leg, the one that I absolutely needed to leave and arrive on time ended up getting delayed by 3 hours the morning of due to "unscheduled maintenance" which meant we would miss our connecting flight.
I fly from a small airport (it's technically international, but the only international destination is Canada from the US) so there aren't any other earlier WestJet flights scheduled for the day. There was one with another airline but we wouldn't have made it to the airport and through security in time. Besides that, there were no other flights from other nearby airports or other airlines that would've made it before the connecting flight.
So I quickly got on the phone with WestJet and they did help us reschedule with other airlines, but now we have a full day of flights from 7am to noon the following day, 2 longer layovers, we're stuck with leftover seats, and we can't check in online, which probably means we're going to have to check our bags at the gate. Same thing for the return flights. We also can't get a refund on our hotel so we have to pay for the first night even though we won't be there.
It's not the end of the world, but it's frustrating how that one leg of the flight being randomly delayed messed up almost everything else. I know this technically could've happened with another airline, but it hasn't happened to me yet and based on their history, the chances were higher with WestJet.
I only went with WestJet because it was cheaper by a lot but that should've been at least an orange flag. At this point, if I could go back and tell myself from months ago to pay more with a reputable airline, I would. It wasn't worth the stress.

This will most likely be a long post so buckle down if you're interested in reading it.
​
My GF and I met sophomore year of college and very quickly hit it off. This transformed into my first serious relationship. I had one prior short relationship in high school and prior to meeting my gf was a virgin as well. Overall just very inexperienced in the world of dating and relationships. Our relationship was incredibly strong for close to two years but as with any it had its ups and downs. The downs, at least for me, seemed to slowly begin heavily outweighing the ups and the anxiety and stress of the relationship began crippling me. The constant criticism and silent treatments from my gf when I would do something that would upset her absolutely killed me inside. Seeing someone who was supposed to love me act like I didn't exist killed me to no end. Along with the silence caused by her being upset, she also began shunning and ignoring me anytime I took part in school/club activities or when I would hang out with friends so I began to pretty much become a hermit to avoid upsetting her. My confidence in myself was absolutely shot towards the end, it genuinely felt like I could not make her happy. The unhappiness took place both in private and in public. Friends and family of mine could visibly tell she was upset with me when we would all be together and she would criticize me for the smallest things around others. Eventually it became too much so I decided to break up with her after a little over two years of dating.
​
We were separated for about 6 months with no contact when I decided to break it by asking her a question. From there conversation started flowing with both of us living in new cities for work. We talked through text and phone calls for a couple months before meeting in person for the first time in about 9 months. The months texting and calling her made me miss her immensely and idolize the good moments of our relationship. We agreed to get back together in a long distance relationship. With me still being in college and taking mostly zoom courses and her working full time I took the majority of trips to visit her and we developed a solid system for the first couple months. However, the topic of the breakup and time apart was a constant sticking point for the first couple months. She knew I had hooked up with a couple different girls during the time apart and I knew she hooked up with a couple guys. In my mind, ignorance was bliss so I never pressed information about it but she wanted to know EVERYTHING. Going as far as dming girls that she knew I slept with, taking their word entirely over mine. This topic was incredibly difficult for us but with time it faded. After I graduated I began working full time as well, we both still lived in different states so we continued long distance. However, even with me working full time as well, the burden of travel still felt like it fell on me. I was visiting her probably twice as much as she was visiting me and as a result I was stressed from long hours at work and little time to recharge. This would be over soon though as her job would be relocating to the city I lived in. This first job I had out of college was brutal and honestly awful. It broke me emotionally and I ended up applying and getting a remote job in a completely different field. With this job being remote I moved to her city to work for the last month or so before we moved back to my old city and into an apartment together. Things were going very well but we both struggled with mental health issues, and for me the anxiety of the relationship was increasing again. With us now living together and both of us working from home, we spent almost all of our time together and it felt like the criticizing and stonewalling from her was becoming very common. We fought often, almost daily for stretches of time and neither of us really had any where to go. Similar to the first time, it felt like I had to walk on egg shells. She had to know everything I was doing, it felt like she constantly found something to be upset about, especially if we were out with friends or family. A new developing aspect was the constant double standards in the relationship. She would attack me for having to go on work trips and not being able to be on my phone during the day or at night very often while she would also go on work trips and completely ignore me while she went out drinking with coworkers, often not even sending a text throughout the whole night. She would criticize my work around the apartment while it felt like she bore close to none of the chores and left them all on me. I was the primary cook for us and at times she would get upset and angry if I struggled on a new recipe or took much longer than expected. Like before I felt like I could not make her happy and my confidence was destroyed. I made the decision to break up with her AGAIN. After this breakup I was given a new job opportunity in a new state so I took it hoping to have a fresh start.
​
This brings us to now pretty much. I was set to move two months after the breakup. The first month was no contact unless it had to do with the apartment we were previously sharing. In the month prior to me moving I ended up visiting her twice, the first to grab some things but we ended up watching a movie together and catching up as friends. Nothing happened. The second time we ended up being intimate and similar to before all the feelings of the relationship came rushing back and we both wanted to be back in each others lives. We texted constantly during my move and eventually she came to visit me. We talked and got back together in another long distance relationship. Things were again great at the start, we were both very open with our feelings and emotions regarding the past. She asked if I had been with anyone in the months we were broken up this time and I told her I had been with two girls, this obviously upset her but we talked through it and things seemed fine. The toxic aspects have since popped up again, frankly this time the worst that they ever have. More infrequent because of the long distance, but more severe. It started with her searching through my phone when I drank too much one night and passed out. There she saw that when were broken up I had talked to some girls casually on tinder, she herself also talked to guys from tinder. She again went as far as texting these girls from my phone without me knowing. It had been months at this point so none even responded. I didn't know she had seen these texts until the afternoon the next day. She had been quiet and off most the day and broke the silence by telling me about the "size" of the partners she had when we were first broken up. This crushed me, she continued telling me details about them being together, how long, and how they made her feel. Frankly this broke me for a while, it was constantly on my mind but she managed to convince me that what I had done in the past warranted her telling and using this against me. Time passed and we moved on but later she found a girl I had followed on insta when we were broken up and that I had followed her sister. I honestly remember viewing this girl's profile but never followed her and this mystery sister actually did not exist to my knowledge. I'm still baffled about what girl she saw that I was following. Then came the next verbal attack, she berated my about my standards, calling me disgusting and the girls I had talked to disgusting. She followed this up with attacks about how she could get any guy she wants, and at one point, using my insecurities around my finances, work, and her previous partners against me by saying "maybe I should just leave you for a guy with more money and a better career" and comparing me again to her past partners. I didn't sleep that night, she had drank that night and the next morning did not remember the fight, I brought it up and she apologized and looked appalled at what she had said. Again, this shook me for a while but I moved past it. Now for the event that has stuck with me for awhile and frankly has made me feel nothing but disdain for her. I was a groomsmen in my best friends wedding. His bachelor party weekend started off well communication wise between my gf and I until I noticed it started getting cold from her. We eventually had a disagreement over text about me not caring about what we were talking about. I did care but I really didn't show it, I made the conversation around it much shorter than it should've been when I should've asked her to speak about it after the weekend. The next day she said I didn't actually care when I asked her to keep me updated on a work project she had. This really upset me and I told her it felt like she thinks very lowly of me. She got very upset from this and flipped it onto me claiming that I had developed a sense of "entitlement" when in my mind it felt like I was standing up for myself, something I struggled with before. The next major event came on the actual wedding weekend. The wedding rehearsal went fine with me texting her throughout about the plan and what time she needed to get there for the dinner. She showed up close to an hour late, and immediately upon meeting her at her car to walk her up it was evident she was in a bad mood. She flattly ignored me the entire dinner, causing multiple of my friends to ask if her and our relationship were okay. I played it off like nothing was wrong. At the end of the night we were talking with some friends who asked if we were going out for drinks. I had already told my girlfriend that we wouldn't since we needed to take care of my parents dogs. My friends and us were the last ones at the venue. My girlfriend said she was going to run to restroom, she was there for quite awhile so we went looking for her. When someone checked and saw that the bathroom was empty I checked her location and there I saw her, 20 miles away on the highway driving to her apartment. I had flown in for the wedding so she was my ride for the weekend. I was left alone in the middle of downtown, carless and needing to get home to feed my parents dogs. I absolutely lost it and shamefully my temper lost it too and I got into a shouting match with her. I forgave her that night. We reconciled and the next day I left early to get ready for my friends wedding. Again she showed up 40 minutes late, missing most of the ceremony. Things seemed fine though and the night was going well. My anxiety was incredibly high that day and adding some drinks into the mix made a bit of a stressed mess. She consoled and helped calm me down so that I could have fun. At the end of the conversation I mentioned that before we left we needed to grab my bag from a friends car parked across the street. She lost it, calling me selfish and inconsiderate and plotting to go out with friends that night even though I told her we couldn't. I felt belittled and demeaned and ended up walking away to a different part of the venue to calm down. I went out to the front for the send off where some people talked to me about after party plans. I told them I couldn't because I had to take care of my parents dogs. I waited for my girlfriend around the front till I saw her getting her car from valet, looking fully prepared to abandon me again. When I caught up with her we talked for a second before one of the bridesmaids I knew came up making sure I knew what bar everyone was going to. Again my girlfriend lost it, this time yelling at both me and the bridesmaid. When my gf stormed away the bridesmaid told me I shouldn't be with her. I ended up driving my girlfriend and I home and we fought the whole way. It became one sided about halfway through when I asked her if she thought I was beneath her and without hesitation said yes. I sat there silently till we got home. When we did she began crying and got into the drivers seat and drove away, incredibly intoxicated but eventually came back. The next day I asked her if she actually that I was beneath her and she said no.
​
I haven't felt love for her since. I've felt frankly numb to her most of the time and when I replay the ways she's treated me I just feel anger. But I hate the idea of hurting her. I kept it bottled up for about a month until I brought it up a week ago. I asked her if she really did think I was beneath her, she said we had already talked about it but I told her I was more upset that she never apologized. It felt like in that moment she tried to deflect by asking if I was going break up with her since I like to bottle up things that upset me till I hit my breaking point. I told her no but it didn't feel like she truly grasped how much her actions had been hurting me. I let it all out and talked about everything with her. She seemed genuinely remorseful and talked about how she didn't know how hurtful she'd been and that she had been trying to work on herself and make her better. I felt better in that moment, but the next couple days I kept thinking about it. In this conversation she said that she didn't know the wedding weekend was awful for me and that she thought it went great. I honestly cannot wrap my head around thinking that weekend went great. I've been putting on a "brave" face and acting like I'm fine but inside, nothing has changed, I don't love this relationship. She's currently in a stressful period with moving apartments, her family is helping and all of us are going on a week long vacation next week. This brings me to my question, with us being long distance how do I end it and when should I?
​
Thanks if you've read this far!
​
TLDR: I'm in a toxic on and off again relationship that's long distance, how do I end it with her currently stressed from moving and us supposed to be going on vacation next week?

Hello, I'm a Male (21), currently in college. I have been an introverted kind of guy since the beginning. In my school, I rejected a girl who I used to like in the first place because I was not in a state of relationship. In college, after the lockdown went off, I again rejected a girl I met online. But then, I met someone, she is my classmate (21F). I met her on February 28th, 2022, I met her when a then-friend of mine took me to see some people, and she was with them. Gradually, I became a part of their group. And we did a lot of fun, except, she always used to stay away from the majority of fun activities. At the end of the semester, before the summer break, we went on a group trip, where I catch feelings for her, and I thought she does too. During the summer break, we barely talked because first, we were both introverts and second, I had some family emergency. After the summer break, our group which was of 8 people, got sub-divided. Me, she, and one other person got together. Other people in the group used to tell me that I'm breaking the group, but I tried but things were just so smooth. Then, that 3rd person went on to find his own venture, and so, only me and her remained. At this point, people started to think that I like her, but even I was not sure.
Eventually, everything was just perfect between me and her. Everything. We became the bestest of the best friends, we used to spend time together all day and talk on calls all night. One thing I forgot to tell you, our college is in her hometown. So she used to show things about the city.
During this, our group completely broke out because of so many conflicts, I not giving them proper time was one of the reasons, they used to blame her, and for that, I decided to leave them. She told me to stay, but I never told her about what they said, so it was hard convening her to stay. Look, I thought that we were in a situation ship. I used to help her with her sister's assignments, and I loved doing them. She used to share everything with me.
After my winter break started, I left after one day, because we planned to go to the city, it got late, so I thought I should leave her at her home, the date was December 27th, when I reached her home, her mother grabbed me and told me that I can't leave without dinner, and her father talked incredibly nice to me. That was the best day of my life. Then I left for my hometown on the summer break.
At the new year, we promised each other to always stay in our life.
I came back for the new semester, and we were going well, but then, I started to feel I might lose her, and so on February 18th, 2023, we were just talking and I just somehow told her that “I think that I'm starting to like you..”, she left, in the evening, she texted me that there is a boy who likes her and whom she likes too. And well, I was shattered, how can I never know about that person, when she spent all her time with me? Then, eventually, I tried to move on, but we still remained best friends because of the promise of the new year. There was a fest in our college, we went there together, and god, trust me, she was looking so good, someone worth a broken heart, I thought that day. In March and April, many bad things happen, I felt her drift away from me, but we stuck together. I felt so powerless then, I knew I loved her, but I had to pretend that I don't. In May, during the semester's end examination, I got stuck in a road accident, and I only told her, she immediately gave the phone to her mother, and I talked with her mom for so long, she was really nice. Her mom even sent stuff for pain relief, she sent me homemade food and all. Now came the last day of the semester, and I gave her a letter, in which I told her that I love her, and that will she be with me. I did this because I still don't know about that boy, he never appeared, no trace of him on her phone and laptop. So I thought, maybe I should ask her out one last time. I knew she will say no and it will be the end of our story. She did, she told me how can I even ask her out knowing full well that she loves someone else. That day (May 25th), at night, I told her to talk to me one last time, she said no, so I just called her, but her phone was busy for the first time. Her call came after 2 hours, and she told me that it was him. That night, she told me to still be friends and that nothing is changed. I told her that's what she said after February, and she still drifted away, and she said she did that so that I lose my feelings. The next day I came back to my hometown. She sent back all the money I spent on her during our time. Now, till then, we just had some dry conversations, that too about work and study. That too over texts or minute-long phone calls.
The thing is, in the last one year, I lost everything, I lost friends because of her, and now I lost her. I even miss our friendship, I miss everything. I hope she would have told me that she loves someone before I fell for her. I wish I would have been the one.
So now, what should I do now? Because now I'm starting to think that I will never find someone, someone like her. Because I like no one else whatsoever. I really thought that she loved me, after everything she did for me, after everything we did together. From now on, how can I trust someone else? That she won't do the same to me?

Everything is worse due to it being online. Rubberbanding horses riding by ruining immersion on server lines/zones.
Worthless large group content that is a loot pinata and the game has to be scaled down due to having to support this worthless feature, just like towns have to be scaled down so we can stare at MT skins of whales.
Mind numbing zombie level "WoW daily" events that shouldn't even be in the game when you over level them with all the quests available that you don't even need to do. The red missions than open up towns and more quests are all you should have.
Worthless PvP that no one will play because it's impossible to balance and because classes lack complexity because they have to work on a console controller.
Should have had optional coop and that's it. Can't have that though when you have the greediest goblin CEO of all time. A CEO now downplaying workplace abuse when he threatened to have someone killed in the past, settled a sexual abuse case himself and whose in Epstein's little black book as a contact.
The art is great, the music is great, the storytelling is great. All ruined and made less due to one CEO's greed.
Don't worry though Blizzard. You will make the money back because you made WoW look like a wannabe PIXAR movie threw up on a furry convention. So the people leaving your failed MMO will try this out. Maybe they will do the braindead zombie events for years on end and buy MT's. They should be used to it from WoW.

I was involved in a hit and run where a car came into the cycle lane and knocked me off my bike. Luckily it was relatively low speed, roughly 20mph, and I’m okay apart from a sprained wrist and relatively severe gravel rash up my left side. My bike, watch, phone are not damaged severely but my kit and bike computer are. Bike can probably still be ridden after some tweaks of the groupset but will most likely need replacing. Luckily, a women in a car behind me managed to get the number number plate. I have told the police and they said they will look into it but nothing since then on Tuesday. I’ve tried to contact the insurer of the hit and run driver but I got left on hold for two hours and then my phone auto hung up.
Tl;dr - I was hit and I’m okay, bike is not completely ruined, I have the number plate. I have called the police and tried insurance company.
Does anyone have an experience/ advice on what to do now? Time frame for police to contact me (UK)? What I should do about the insurance? I would at least like to be compensated for the cosmetic damaged to my bike and the groupset. Perhaps also compensated for my injury if that’s a thing. Any advice/ experience with this is very welcome.

It’s come to our attention that a longtime poster on this sub is not who they were consistently claiming to be. Typically, I wouldn’t really care enough to make a post on this. People do weird things online, and I don’t have interest in policing and publicizing strange personal decisions on a fun subreddit.
But in this case, given it’s a privacy violation on many levels to the women this user impersonated - and anyone from this sub or other places online who he has manipulated - I am posting.
The person behind u/Feelthe_newthunder03 came to Regards quite early on, posting many twerking videos and other social media content, mainly featuring a woman who I won’t name to preserve some sense of privacy (unfortunately feels like her privacy has been invaded enough as is).
Beyond posting her content, this user also deeply role-played as the woman in the videos and photos in his comments and posts. It has also come to our attention that this user directed many other users from this sub to converse directly with them on a TikTok account they run (@sswagger17). This is where they “verified” they were in fact the woman in the posts.
Not only did this person use deleted photos and videos from the woman’s past social media history (which he had saved and then altered to post from his own fake social media impersonation account), but he also used quite a few videos from a different woman on TikTok.
This included a private video said woman shared either with him - or with someone who shared the video with him - when she had an OnlyFans account in the past. This is obviously not ok to be sharing in the first place, let alone sharing and then vigorously claiming and defending that he is the half-dressed woman featured.
We have verified all of this, but again will not be sharing her username or info to hopefully not further any privacy violations the person behind the feelthethunder account may have caused.
u/feelthe_newthunder03 on Reddit u/BobJeff69DTF on Reddit u/HalfTruthHero on Reddit @spookymattj on TikTok @sswager17 on TikTok
I’m not going to make any accusation on the above usernames. Just sharing them.
Guess this can be a good reminder to always be cautious online while engaging with other users. I apologize to any users here who have been talking with that account for many months now, it was on us for not looking into this further and addressing it until now. It’s unfortunate that we can’t always trust people at their word, but even more unfortunate that people out there are in such a twisted headspace to even want to manipulate people like this in the first place. Disregarded on the highest level.
Stay safe out there and hope you have a great weekend Regards.

I looked online and I can’t find anything to apply for the Laax freestyle raking job. Is there a contact email or phone number I can use to talk to an employee at Laax and try and get me a job there.
I was wondering if they have employee housing too.

Looking to replace the screen reliably but at less of a cost than Apple ($300+). iPhone pro max 256gb
Also what do you think a fair price would be to sell it online once it’s fixed?

Hey, looking for some advice for the situation me and my partner are in. Mainly, whether we should go for proper marriage or common law, and how difficult the process might be.
I’m a 30 yo American woman, and my partner is a 30 yo Canadian woman.
We met almost 10 years ago now, and started dating 6 years ago. We met online, on Tumblr back in the day, and I ended up moving in with a mutual friend in the states I met through her, who now is no longer a friend to either of us. This person turned out to be a manipulative hoarder and compulsive liar, as well as verbally and sometimes physically abusive toward me. Due to my childhood I have difficulty making friends in the first place so she had been really my last and only friend in the states at the time and I now have no one who knew us when we met and started dating.
We’re both very private and fairly antisocial people so we have a small friend group now, made up of two of her childhood friends and five new friends we’ve met since we moved provinces. The new friends we’ve only know for the year we’ve been here. We haven’t and can’t tell her parents that we’re in a relationship due to their homophobia and likelihood they would disown her. I’m no contact with my parents. Our first concern is that we won’t have enough people to vouch for the relationship’s legitimacy.
I was living in America at the time we met, and visited her in Canada several times, staying a couple weeks at a time. She visited me the states for four months (the longest they would allow her to). I’ve since been living in Canada for the past three years on extended visitation, this past year being actually living in the same address as my partner. Prior to that I was staying with a mutual friend and we were going back and forth to each other’s homes. I currently have no home, no family, and no friends in the US to return to.
The home we live in was bought by her parents for her and she is paying them back the loan they took out to do so. I’m renting from my partner, though often rent has been in the form of being a cleaner and personal assistant around the home (cleaning, cooking, scheduling appointments) since it’s been near impossible to find steady American jobs that I can do from home. Because of the lack of steady income, my name is not on any of the bills. I have some pieces of mail that have come in my name, but most of my personal ‘mail’ is paperless. I do, however, have a few government documents from the US and Canada that have come in my name, from my visitation extension and from extending my US driver’s license. We live in Alberta, which doesn’t allow an American to get a license unless they have a more permanent status (work visa, study visa, permanent residency), so I don’t have any ID with my current address on, either. Our second biggest concern is not having enough paperwork showing I live here with her. The third is that this process would somehow cause her parents to find out about the relationship.
We’ve seen some people discussing this recent and saying common law is the way to go, since marriages of less than two years have the same paperwork requirements anyway. We’ve also seen some conflicting advice about whether or not we should higher a lawyer or some other representative to file the paperwork for us, but my partner has been almost exclusively sponsoring me financially and we don’t make a ton of money. How expensive can we expect the process to be? It’s my understanding that once we file I can also immediately file for an open work license, and I already have a friend ready to give me a job the moment I have legal working status, but it’s been really hard up until now. Our biggest fear is being rejected and me having to go back and tear up the life we’ve built together.
Any advice at all would be appreciated.

So the TL;DR I sent them a letter with my Statutory Declaration in it (Scottish) 2 *months* ago - and have heard nothing back. Last week I sent them an email - asking if they received my written letter and also included a scan of my name change documents etc - still haven't heard anything back either.
Can't use the online form because deadname also had a middle name I no longer use, and there's no option to get rid of it there - can only change an existing one not remove it - and I'm still marked as my previous name on the government gateway so for sure nothing has been done yet.
I guess I'll try phoning them if I don't hear anything back in another week - but has anyone else tried to change their name and title with the HMRC recently and been ignored like this?

me and my adhd bf been together for little less than 3 months. my bf and i had a conversation on what are our concerns and expectations in the relationship before we made it official. ive seen some adhd signs on him after the second date (hes hyper and fidgety) so i jokingly said do you have adhd and he said yes in a serious way. but my knowledge on ADHD was limited to hyper personality, get distracted easier, have a hard time focusing.
as we go on in our relationship, i have been noticing some problems like updates. now people might think updates means im controlling him but its just a thoughtful act. he can go out with his friends, all i wanted is to get an idea that hes out with them. ive reached out but none was changed. so then i went to study his ADHD and i asked if is it difficult to update me because of his ADHD. he said yes but its not an excuse. i apologized for being selfish and be a little more understanding towards him. we made up an agreement that he will try his best to update me but i shouldnt get mad if he didnt.
but my issue is, i overthink alot. maybe its not his ADHD, maybe he is ignoring me, maybe hes mad, maybe i did something wrong. i try to understand him but i cant avoid the fact that i dont feel important not getting any messages from him for 2-4 hours. i also dont like him to be stuck on his phone while hes out with his friends but i also would love to get some updates from him. asking to share his location (on snap) seems controlling and its also the only way i could find out if hes online and if he is ignoring me.
Is this the reality of having a partner of ADHD? Is there anything i/we can do to help each other make this work?

Hi!
I've looked online and I'm not up for prying my phone open. Anyone have any suggestions for stores that swap a battery on the spot, or where I don't have to leave the phone with them for days? Apple seems to show it as being $69, but that is in the US.

Bought a SecureSpend prepaid Mastercard from Metro worth $500 yesterday and waited for 24 hours before trying to use it.
I tried using it today and it does not work - declined. I looked up my balance through securespend.com, it’s invalid. I tried contacting the phone number behind the physical card, the number doesn’t exist.
To my surprise, there are spelling errors behind the card - for example, “buying” was spelled “buing”. Further looking into the card, it seems fake.
However, the card was sealed and the receipt’s activation code matches the last 4 digits of the numbers below the barcode of the card.
I also noticed there was a different phone number listed behind the casing of the card compared to the number printed on the actual card. I called that phone number and was able to connect with a securespend customer service agent. Unfortunately, from their end, the number on the card does not exist / is invalid and they kept telling me to call the number that’s printed behind the card - which does not exist when I try calling.
Is this something Metro can help me out with? I have the original receipt.
Or did I just lose $500?
