Comment on MasterCard SecureCode is a Bad Feature; USAA Misleading by Jack Hunter

Google usaa secure code and you will see a usaa webpage that alerts customers about a “USAA Secure Code” pop-up that is a scam. There is a phone number and an email address to report abuse. Report the secure code pop-up as fraud. That’s what I am doing. What a bad idea this was. I’m not sure it is a grand scam – probably just some moron trying to earn a bonus with his lame IT skills. Good luck all.

Right on Todd!
Over the last 45 years USAA has changed from a member centric organization to a “for profit” organization. This has accelerated abruptly as a result of the last 2 years. The BOD and corporate officers increasingly place USAA’s interests before those of the members. Customers are still referred to as “Members” in an effort to gain competitive advantage (the words of a senior VP). The real proof of the pudding is that they deny it vehemently. Pretty F’ing sad, isn’t it.

I have what I belive is a hand pulled silkscreen print from John Van Hamersveld. It is Oceanliners for The Cooper-Hewatt Museum it is dated 1980 and is numbered and signed. Can you tell me more about this peice. I see lots of his work albums,posters,original prints. I have heard mention of this silkscreen.But no more and am courious about it and would love to know more. Was this a private commission? Did he do other works for Cooper Hewatt Museum?
Thank you for your time and attention to this.

I want to add that Todd’s post about newegg is one for the wall. I did enjoy it, from a frustrating, painfully familiar experience way. About the only thing more maddening is trying a similar thing with a call center in India.

This same crap has started happening to me. I tried to make a $5 purchase at Boscov’s, shipping to my billing address, and it pulled the Secure Code page up asking for my date of birth! Since being redirected to some unknown-to-me alternate site, I refused, as this is shady. Now I have had the same problem at Newegg as well. USAA used to be a great company, but my experiences have been terrible in the last 5 years.

WTF is this SecureCode stuff. Tried placing an order today on TigerDirect and got stopped by this. What a stupid ‘feature’ to drop on everyone. This will surely hurt USAA, Mastercard, and TigerDirect in the long run. The CEO in charge of this choice needs to have his head examined.

I somehow signed up for SecureCode. I didn’t even know I had! Since I discovered it, I’ve been unable to make purchases on a couple of websites! I have been trying for 3 days to make a purchase on CircuitCity.com, and have been unable to do so. I discovered they participate in SecureCode. I pulled out my notes and typed in the password that I had chosen. I got a page saying there was a problem and to check my credit card information. So, I went back through it, and once again was told there was a problem. I reset the password, and tried again. I did this 6 different times, to no avail. Not once would it accept my password! So, I began a 4 hour search on the web on how to cancel SecureCode. I emailed USAA and asked them how to cancel. They got back to me and told me there was no way to cancel, and that they had reset my password. I tried the new password, and once again was told there was a problem. I reset the password twice more, and not once would the SecureCode accept my password! I kept searching on the web, and found a PDF file with instructions on how to cancel. It wasn’t hard to find, I searched for “how to cancel SecureCode”. So, I went in and canceled it. I still can’t place the order, but figured I’d give it 24 hours, and try again. If I can’t do it online, I’ll try to order over the phone. And you can bet USAA will hear about this again. This is the biggest bunch of **** I’ve seen in my life. A big step backwards. If MasterCard wants to stop internet orders, they are doing a good job of it.
