Same! I broke down and filled out the PAPER direct deposit change form that my behind the times Fortune 100 company still uses, and FAXED it in. Surprisingly the change occurred for the very next paycheck so I’ve now met the DD requirement with an actual payroll DD. First time I’ve ever changed my actual DD for a bank bonus. Then I immediately faxed in a new form to update it back to my usual bank.
Here’s a fun status match story. My Amex Plat gives Gold status with Hilton. I didn’t think much of it but when we were in Vegas at the Waldorf Astoria we received upgraded rooms as well as $50 resort credit per night. Definitely worth it!
I then used that gold status to do a temporary gold match with AA. It will expire before we fly but it allowed me to pick elite member economy seats for no charge on our award booking for next July.
I keep seeing all these Stacey posts and do a double take as it’s my real first name (spelled the same and all!!). I thought I was just really popular this morning!
