For several years I've been using the GPS overlay maps and software from onX Maps for varmint hunting in New Mexico. Last year they automatically renewed the subscription on my Cabela's "World's Foremost Bank" credit card. That was OK. Since then we have bought a house in Texas and I will no longer be varmint hunting in New Mexico. With the purchase of Cabela's by Bass Pro, Bass Pro changed the Cabela's card from a World's Foremost Bank Visa card to a Capital One MasterCard. Yesterday I got a receipt from onX Maps for a renewal charge to my new Cabela's/Capital One card. Problem is, I have never given the Capital One card information to onX Maps.
I have been unhappy with the card service and website for paying the bill since Bass Pro took over and issued the Capital One card. I was told in a Cabela's store that I was not alone. I'm even more unhappy that somewhere in the chain, either Cabela's/Bass Pro, Capital One or MasterCard had to have provided the vendor with the new credit card number. I suppose this was "as a service to me." I have been on the phone with all three and of course they all say it wasn't them that provided the updated information. The Cabela's representative did admit that updated information was sometimes provided to vendors for automatic billing but he said that it would have had to come from Capital One. Capital One says it wan't them; only Cabela's could give that info to the vendor. MasterCard claims they don't have the information to give out in the first place (yet they were able to confirm my identity against the credit card number).
Just had to share this. My divorce from this credit card is coming fast.
