Well I mean I'm not really a fan of change at all, which I know is kind of futile with change literally being the only constant and all that....
If you live out this way and bank with the same bank I do, you'll know what I'm talking about here, but my bank is forcing those of us who have a V-named credit card through the bank and a sister company (?) to change to a M-named credit card through the bank and a different company that I have found out is a subsidiary of the first company so like WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS????
Which, honestly, like most things... it most likely comes down to money, you know? Someone wants to make more of it or spend less of it or both. Sigh.
So they're switching us to a different card and that means going through all the places I have auto payments and updating them.
In a good news-bad news kind of thing, when I lost my VISA a while back I made a list at the time of all the places I had to contact (or who contacted me once I cancelled the lost... or let's be honest, possibly stolen? card) so I have that list to work from but I'm quite irritated and put out by the whole not having a choice about it part.
And some of that is for weird reasons. Like... I'm so used to saying V-name when I'm asked how I'm going to pay and now I'm going to have to either say Credit or the triple syllabled M-card name!!!! I know, TERRIBLE right? But jokes aside, this is the kind of thing that the anxious part of my brain loves to pick at. "You will say it wrong, you're going to screw up! You might confuse someone!" Like please, give me a break brain.
I had a note on my calendar yesterday to read through the last batch of info they sent us but I didn't feel like I had the energy or brainpower to do that so I pushed that calendar note forward another few days. I'm trying to make the upcoming transition a bit easier for myself but there's not really much I can do. There's a cut off - new start date and nothing can be done until then and then I think the old card will be dead (have to read that part again) but the new card will need to be initiated... I don't know. Just... how about we not and say we did and I'll just not have to deal with any of this at all ok? OK thanks!

A short cut would be to just say "Credit Card", since I think stores just need to know if its debit or credit.
And I'm wondering if its that the V is taking a bigger fee chunk right now than M.
Yeah I think I'll end up just saying "credit" and probably will forget a few times! And yeah, I would fully bet it's a money saving thing on their end. Le sigh.
