So I signed up for FedEx account...
And by a chance of luck, my Visa card got stopped because I put the Dell transaction on my Visa and apparently because of the higher amount and physical distance of Dell to my regular purchasing area they stopped by card thinking it was stolen or something. I of course found this out at 7:15AM at Staples trying to purchase a the LCD monitor. So I spent about 1 hr on my cell in the phone working this out so I could use my Visa.
Anyway the intersting part is that apparently FedEx has put in a $10 request for money. Now before you get all excited it is possible they just did this to verify the account exists and perhaps FedEx will not actually take this amount out. (For those of you who do not know, when you take a CC transaction there are 2 processes, 1 request for money, and 2 actual transfer of money). And if FedEx does not do the second step you will not be charged. Just thought you guys might want to watch your statments just in case.
