Original Comment So....crazy story today.....<br /> <br /> I have been looking to upgrade my phone for a while. I like the prepaid plans cause they are cheaper. For example....with Virgin Mobile I can get unlimited EVERYTHING for $55 a month.<br /> <br /> So...My wife has had boost for a while, and I have had Virgin. Only reason I didn't switch was the cost of the phone.<br /> <br /> Step in Cyber Monday. Boost had a sale on the EVO V Design for $187 and I had a coupon for $50 off....so $137...great deal, so I decide to pull the trigger. Boost also has Shrinkage...for every 6 months you pay on time, your bill goes down $5 till your are down to $40 (Android). My wife is at $45 right now.<br /> <br /> So I go on their site and order the phone. When I hit Confirm Order, I get an error screen. Go to check my bank account to see if it went through and IT DID....THREE TIMES....with tax, etc...it is holding $145.74 x 3.<br /> <br /> I call Boost....they say my card was declined because IP address did not match the area of the cardholder address....but I am like....well you are HOLDING my money. They said automatic reversals go through immediately.<br /> <br /> So I call PNC....they say that the reversal will match up with the holds during overnight processing and I will not see that charge tomorrow.<br /> <br /> All good.....<br /> <br /> So armed with this info....I decide to CALL boost to make sure their are no problems placing the order. Figure I will try one more time since the money will come back tomorrow and I have enough to cover it. SO I place the order....and the chick comes back and says I was declined....I am like WTF! I go to PNC online banking....and sure enough....$145.74 AGAIN!!!! If anyone is doing the math....we are up to almost $600 on hold in my account. Again, call boost, they issue a reversal....PNC says it will clear overnight....so ALL $600 will come back tomorrow.<br /> <br /> So....all these ****ing issues...and I just so happen to be holding some cash. SO my wife says....go get a prepaid VISA....if they are not working well with PNC...you can bypass it getting a prepaid VISA and put it in HER name so I have nothing to do with the order.<br /> <br /> Mind you...only jumping through hoops to save $120 on the phone which is a CYBER MONDAY deal so has to be done today.<br /> <br /> So...I go to Walmart. I get the prepaid card for $160....I come home, we order it online, put it in my WIFES name.....voila....****ING ERROR on the website again, and go to the prepaid site...and...guess what? Charge $145.74....<br /> <br /> Keeping up with the math?<br /> <br /> Boost now has a hold on a total of almost $750 dollars of mine for a $137 ****ing phone.<br /> <br /> I started this fiasco at 2:30PM it is now 9:30PM....it became a matter of **** YOU I want my phone. They won this battle.<br /> <br /> I give up....short of giving me a free phone for this cluster ****, boost will never get my business. EVER.<br /> <br /> <br /> They have a hold on $750 and I still have no phone.
