Bank error in your favor, collect $200

My recent credit card statement has a credit from Amazon.com for $42.96. The strange thing is I haven't bought anything from Amazon since January. Fraudulent credit card credits? Mastercard told me to contact Amazon but they would investigate the matter.* Amazon was thoroughly confused as well. I was on hold for more than 20 minutes before they discovered that I had been overcharged for my purchase in January. They sent me an email but when I saw the title of the email referring to a purchase, I figured it was junk mail.





* The lady was very confused why I'd report an unknown credit to my account. As much as I enjoy an undeserved credit to my account, I don't want that amount charged to my account if an error was found.

  1. You're a better woman than I would have been! Not to mention more conscientious. I have to steel myself for days to look at my bank statements, if I even try.
