TD Bank screwed up my replacement card THREE times and now I’m stuck without access to my money. Teller literally hijacked my phone and didn’t even check my address

[u/HoldMines_15]

So I went into my local TD branch a month ago because my debit card was expiring and I needed a new one. Walk in, tell the teller what I need, and she hits me with “oh we don’t print cards at branches anymore.” Fine, whatever. I ask her to walk me through ordering it online because I’m not super techy with the app

Instead of showing me, this impatient lady just SNATCHES my phone out of my hand, does the whole thing herself without explaining a single step, hands it back, and says “you’re all set, 5-7 business days.” Didn’t confirm my address, didn’t ask me to double-check anything, nothing. Just “next customer please” and I’m dismissed like an idiot

Two weeks go by… no card. I call customer service. Rep tells me they had my address wrong. So they cancel the first card and order a second one with the “correct” address

Another week and a half… still nothing. Call again. This time they say “oh we updated your home address but not your mailing address.” So they cancel the second card and order a THIRD one

Now I’m on my third wait and I’m losing my mind. On top of that, I was able to add the first two (ghost) cards to Apple Wallet right away, but the third one won’t add. Called support and they basically shrugged and said “sorry, just keep waiting lol.”

I’m literally stuck. Can’t use Apple Pay, can’t get cash easily, and every time I call it feels like they’re playing hot potato with my card orders. Has anyone else dealt with this level of incompetence at TD? Is there a better way to escalate this or am I just doomed to keep refreshing my mailbox for another month?

This is ridiculous

That version keeps all the important details but makes it flow like a classic Reddit vent/rant post — conversational, frustrated, with some emphasis and relatable language. You can tweak the title or add/remove details depending on which subreddit you're posting in (r/TD, r/personalfinance, r/rant, etc.). Good luck, that situation sounds maddening.

What is that supposed to mean?

“A month ago I went into my local branch to replace my bank card. To my surprise the teller recently changed their policy and stopped printing out bank cards at all branches. Then the teller told me to order a new bank card online. And because I was so lost I asked the teller (who was impatient with me) to show me how it’s done then the teller just took my phone and did all the work without even showing me how. Afterwards she gave me my phone back, told me she ordered the card for me and to wait “five to seven business days” for my card to come in. She didn’t even at least verify with me that my mailing address was correct in their system. The teller just told me “you’re all set” then immediately lached onto the next customer while completely disregarded me

Two weeks went by and I haven’t received my new card yet. I called TD customer service and tell them I haven’t gotten anything. The representative I spoke to them tells me they got my address incorrect. After the representative updated my address she canceled the card that was supposed to be delivered to me and ordered me a new one

Another week and a half went by and I called TD Bank once again. I tell the representative I still haven’t received my new card. The representative tells me they updated my home address but not my mailing address. So after they updated both my home address and my mailing address they cancelled the second card that was supposed to come to me and ordered me a third card

So now I have to wait longer to get a new bank card. To add salt to my wounds I can’t even use apple wallet. I was able to use the first two cards (which never came in) on apple wallet. But not the third. I even called customer service and the representative told me unfortunately there’s nothing they can do and I have to just wait for my new card to come in. Now I’m stuck “

This was my original version. I just thought I’d polish it a lil. Tell me. Where’s the crime in that 😒
