Sooo... I was able to pay my Credit Card bill with very little wait time, which impressed me.

But I am still annoyed with the bank:
1) Their call centre representative NEVER called me bank, which forced me to call their call centre AGAIN, and re-tell my ordeal with their 🏧 machine... AGAIN. After much talking, answering security questions and being put on hold, the call centre representative reaffirmed what I was fearing, NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS AND I JUST HAVE TO WAIT. 😤 So, I have to wait till 08-DEC-2023, call back the bank's call centre and find out if my credit card is ready.

2) This puts a dent in my spending as I already made purchases with said credit card, which are now being declined as my credit card was cancelled suddenly on me. So I either have to find an alternate credit card to use in the interim OR.... loose out on my purchases. 😑

Also, my credit card was tied to my Patreon payments and with it being cancelled, am I going to loose out on my rewards? Can any one answer this for me?

Anyways, on a side note, please send good vibes my way as I'm still feeling anxious about this experience and don't feel safe walking around with cash but now am forced to do so.
