Complaint Rating:

Beware of the Sams Club Discovercard issued by GE Moneybank. I have no complaint of Sam's Club except that they associate with such a corrupt organization like GE Moneybank. I was set with a low ($6, 800) credit limit when I opened my account. I knew I would need more than that during a monthly billing cycle. So, I made advance payments from my Wells Fargo bank debit card at the club store to ensure that I did not go over my available credit. Now, GE says that those payments from my bank account are not available for 20 days, and the account is locked until they clear. So, I have prepaid GE $5, 000 of my money and cannot use it because they claim they are waiting the payment to clear. The money was debited from my account the day I paid them, yet they claim they do not get the money for 20 days. Who has the money for those 19 days. So, not only can I not use the prepaid credit, I cannot use any of the $6, 800 credit limit. What kind of third world financial system are they using that would take 20 days to get a electronic payment from one bank to another. When you call, you are talking to people in Asia that say you can fax a copy of your bank statement or have the clerk at sam’s Club call them. What a joke, neither of those got the issue resolved. They say something different each time you call. They just want the use of your money for 3 weeks.
