If I could give a half a star
If I could give a half a star, I would, especially after finding out how the pre-authorization charges on gas pumps work. Because I went to get food and had $125 hold on my card. It is now been four days and with Shell, well Shell sends a finalization within 24 hours of the gas being finished pumping and the charge has occurred to let your bank know that the funds on that pre-authorization need to be released. My Dash solutions or my Dash cares,(they really don’t) the first time this happened. I spent eight days… yes eight days waiting to get my pre-authorization back. I did some more deep diving and the reason why they do this. It is because they get to hold onto your funds for longer and they do what they call night trades or night loans where they will loan out millions of dollars for a single night to make a profit on it also all of those dollars that are held up in a pre-authorization charge gain interest from the US federal government usually. So I was looking into how to get this back and well I got some good information about how you can go and ask for a void or reversal and I called Dash solutions and they literally told me well…. I’m sorry we can’t do any of those things. Not from our end. Well, my kids need to eat and you’ve taken a huge chunk of money from me and it’s the weekend where I can’t get more money till well tomorrow so it’s kind of just a little messed up. Especially when I plan my amount and then all of a sudden that huge chunk of money is gone. Well the whole thing is you try and tell me that it’s the merchant that’s withholding this money they need to verify this. Except that is a freaking lie, as I said earlier, Shell gas station the moment that your gas is pumped there POLICY is to make sure that the bank knows to release those funds within 24 hours. So when you tell me that it’s Shell, that’s holding my funds you are flat lying to my face. Which the one thing over everything I cannot stand.say you told me well we can’t do that from our end I could understand it, that you don’t have the ability to, well I’m gonna ask you well who do I talk to where they’re gonna have the ability to. But you didn’t give me that chance you literally told me and lied to me that oh it’s shell that you’re waiting for. So at that moment, I am finished with my Dash Card. I will start taking checks again even though because of a whole bunch of stupid BS that happened.(not my banks fault) I lost my bank account and it’ll cost me three dollars to cash my check every time. Oh well, it is worth not dealing with a lying company that withhold funds for so long probably just to make a few extra pennies. If you have the option to, I would suggest against using Dash Card because all I have had is problems with them. I still can’t even get into my Dash card after emailing them four separate times everything that I needed to get my account unlocked so I didn’t have to call them to find out this information to be able to actually check for it on an app that they give you. And the funniest thing was the first time I downloaded the app. They let me right into it with the same phone number that they’re trying to text now to get verification codes and all that. Well all of a sudden it changed and they can’t help me out that way anymore and I’ve given them all the information that they’ve needed multiple times and they still have not released or changed my number on the account so I can access the Dash Card app. You know the Card works. But honestly, if you’re gonna use the card, I think the best thing to do is to pull out every single dollar that there is in cash because I would rather lose my money because I drop it of something than keep my money in a place that makes it so I can’t access it and lies to me about it.
