Real real real REAL stupid banking rule

I recently got a credit card for the express purpose of not jeopardising my debit card. I've made several larger purchases, one of which was a Ford 9" axle right on here.

The other day, the account came up "refused" and later, when I looked at the website, the account was "frozen."

HERE IS THE TWO STUPID RULES I WAS QUOTED:

Bear in mind I had made some large purchases, then immediately a day or two or three hence had transferred money into the account.

I was NOT late in paying, nor did I go "over" the limit on any charges.

THE EXCUSE IS that

1 You cannot pay more than you owe. (Example) Let's say your balance is zero, and you make a large purchase, then go to your other bank to transfer money to cover it. IF IF IF the payment comes in BEFORE the purchase goes through that is somehow a "violation."

2. You cannot charge more than your credit limit DURING A MONTHLY PAY CYCLE This means that if you make a large purchase right up against the credit limit --and then in a day or two etc, pay it right back to a balance of zero balance YOU ARE DONE using that card for the month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Has anyone heard of this incredible nonsense?


Yes, I am. Looking for a different bank.
