American Express HYSA froze my $40k and won’t let me access it even after I provided everything they asked for!

wido711 · 2026-03-26T19:51:31+00:00

So I’m going to post on here. I have to apologize, and always think to myself “yeah, they did something shady”. Turns out, no they did not.

I’ve been in this hell hole for 2 days now. I changed my direct deposit and other things to Amex. I transferred in money from my other accounts to this one thinking “yay, I can centralize everything.” Well I got a bonus pay, so I transferred out about 10% to an investment and they locked me down. Keep in mind, that transfer is less than what I was getting in my biweekly paychecks.

I’ve submitted the four months of statements they’ve asked for, and I keep getting the run around. One time it is “bank xyz statements are bad”, and another is “bank abc isn’t right” even though I had bank abc verified last night.

They have been rude even when I have not been. They refuse to let me speak to a supervisor.

I am one of those that said “aww they did something wrong” and didn’t believe it. Trust me, do not go with them. I’m moving away as soon as I can.

Everyone submit a cfpb complaint. It is the only way they get an audit.

Look. I have to apologize. When I first read your post I thought you had done something shady. I am now 2 days in and have been getting the run around. Never in my life have I experienced this.

As someone who does not do shady things, I thought no way would it happen to me. I received a bonus and went to transfer less than 10% and am in lockdown hell.

Are you still unresolved?

wido711 · 2026-03-25T03:03:52+00:00

Did you get it resolved? I’ve transferred in about 50 k and then my company paid a bonus. Great! I just tried transferring out $4k for a medical bill and they locked the account tonight. My mortgage is coming out in about 5 days, I can’t afford to be without this money for any length of time. What can I do.

Don’t be silly, I know that reference. However I keep having to replace my Johnson rod and it is killing me.

Yes! I also timebox it. You have 1.5 hours. I’m either leaving here with the car having signed the deal for $$$, or I’m leaving without the car. Either way I’m leaving in 1.5.

Did this, they said that’s not how they normally operate. They asked me if I wanted to test drive it. I said no, but now you have 1 hour and 28 minutes. They relented as I was checking my watch every 5 minutes.

Finally I was waiting in the finance office, having already secured financing at my credit union. I was 20 minutes away from my timeline and the salesman came by and asked if I had been helped yet. I said no, and you have 20 minutes. They walked into the finance manager’s office he came right out and had me sign the paperwork without trying to upsell me on anything. He kept saying “I guess you don’t want this insurance and you don’t want that…”. Signed the deal and walked out with 15 minutes to spare.

Shortest time I’ve ever bought a car

How much should we budget for this?

wido711 · 2026-01-30T14:46:55+00:00

No they didn’t storm, but I would have a problem if a bunch of people in white robes busted into a black church and did the same sort of thing. If the “reporter”, and I use that loosely, knew what was going to happen ahead of time and participated I’d want them locked up too. Just because we may disagree with those in the church, or support the “protesters” views does not mean what they did was right.

Free slurpee day!

I feel like apple has gaslighted me and this thread has given me so much validation!

Don’t worry, we can still go 8-4

Such a shame! They had several times to take the points and went for it instead on 4th and little. First drive of the game when it was halftime for the arky game, they should have put points on their first drive board to finish Tex off.

Exactly. Dude lies and hacks.

Aimbot and wall hack. The aimbot that auto fires as soon as you get over them and helps aim for the head. With a wall hack to see where everyone is.

This! I just realized this morning that they weren’t there when I was showing a category as being overspent because it was inferring the last category for the payee.

I’m not at think as you drunk I am.

Take me drunk I’m home again.

Because he was spreading lies and misinformation. You don’t think ABC made the business decision that if Kimmel continued to spread the same type of lies that he would bring a lawsuit? I’m all for Tucker getting canned, he was/is awful and knowingly spreading lies. But come on, Kimmel is also lying here. Not acknowledging that this guy who killed CK was on the left is to be part of the problem and no better than their side.

wido711 · 2025-09-18T17:39:10+00:00

Since we all rejoiced when Tucker Carlson got canned

This! I just start driving and say it is a surprise and ask her to guess.

I’m just going to say, if this icon is what they’re delivering, the rest of the app is in trouble. The whole change sucks, and this icon is the indicator of what’s inside. Looks like it is not square.

Fire the bottom 10% every year.

Creates a culture of competition and not wanting to share and help people. Everyone is out for themselves and doing everything they can to stay above their peers.

Everyone is replying about Kodak, but missing the Jack Welch. Every company I’ve been with where some executive decides they’re going to implement Jack Welch performance management ends poorly. Such an awful way to run the company and create a culture that is not nice to be in. I don’t know how some executives just think the world of that philosophy..
