I called today to cancel a preorder. The preorder was for a single card at $240. I checked with my bank and no charges had been posted yet. The EVGA rep I spoke to assured me there would be no charge or hold placed on my account, so about an hour later I went ahead and ordered a card from newegg.
Sure enough, charge declined. I went back to my banking site, and EVGA has placed not one, not two, not even three holds on my account.... But *four* holds for $240 each. I had about $310 in the account. This means I can't even buy food or gas until they fix it, since I never keep cash on hand. If the single legitimate hold had been placed on my account, I still would have had access to the rest of my money, and I could deal with waiting for my bank to release the hold, even though when I called EVGA, I was told there would be no charge or hold. Four though?
Nice one, EVGA.
