What expiry date?
26Oct2007 Filed under: Ramblings Author: Awangku Yusli 387 views“Kak.. could you enter the expiry date, please?” the cashier asked my colleague who wanted to pay for lunch using her Maybankard.
“Expiry date?” asked my astonished colleague. “Dik.. that’s an ATM card. It doesn’t have an expiry date.”
“But the machine is asking for an expiry date,” the cashier insisted.
“Really? That’s odd. I’ve used the card a number of times before but this is the first time I was asked for an expiry date.” She then took her ATM card back and paid lunch using her credit card.
How odd indeed! When she told us about the incident, I immediately took out my own Maybankard just to double check that there is no expiry date printed on the card. Yup, no expiry date. In fact, no date at all anywhere on the card. We had a good laugh, at any rate. Expiry date for an ATM card? That’d be a first.
“Kak.. your credit card is not valid,” the cashier told the next customer.
“What?! But I just used it to buy stuff at Guardian!” said the amazed lady.
So we made a conclusion that the machine was actually faulty. Hahahahaha…

when you buy stuff over the internet using Mastercard, you will be asked to enter a 3 digit secured code at the back of your credit card. Please check if u have one. SOunds odd to secure your online transaction with a set of numbers that are so easily replicated and seen umpteen times by store clerk, front desk people and the like. What has the world come in order to secure online payments? Perhaps a sample of my DNA and retinal check? Dunia tension..

Hahahaha.. it’s true, isn’t it? For these so-called secure online transactions, they do leave a few holes here and there.
