TARGET STORES UNKNOWN BEWARE OF USING CREDIT CARDS OR CHECKS FOR PURCHASES AT TARGET!! Nationwide
As everyone knows, Target was the target of a major computer hacking that reaped millions of credit card numbers. First, Target pretended to provide a one-year FREE ID Protection for everyone who applied. I applied. I received no response whatsoever nor did I receive a free anything. So, I started only writing checks for purchases at Target. I had been living in another city within the same state for the past 8 years and I started writing checks at the Target store in Glenwood Springs. No problem. However, I recently moved and wrote a check at the local Target store in my new town and THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT MY CHECK!! I provided my driver's license. The honchos at the headquarters refused to accept my check. I had to pay with a credit card, which I may now need to delete and reapply for a new credit card number so I don't get hacked via Target. So, Target gets hacked, promises ID Theft Protection but never provides it, and refuses to take anything except credit cards or (maybe??) CASH!! As much as I have resisted going to walmart, it looks as if that is now my alternative. GOOD RIDDANCE TO TARGET!!!
