Hi guys ,
Please I have a situation . I have been making purchases on Amazon for the past two months with my stanbic card. I always chose the option to pay in naira equivalent when checking out. Amazon actually coverts one dollar at 208. I checked out in naira and stanbic sends me the exact deduction from my account .

So I woke up to find all my money gone on my stanbic account . After two months of purchases on Amazon . I called customer care n I was told that Amazon billed me lower than the banks exchange rate . Am so furious , don't know what to do. I also used diamond debit card to buy stuffs on Amazon and the amount debited was exactly what Amazon charged .
What if I did not have more money on my stanbic card? Would they put my savings account to minus .
Please has anyone experienced this ? What should I do about this ? The difference taken from my account is a of money .
Thanks for your help

hello everyone ,
In the spirit of giving back .
Pardon my long post .

I flew emirates to dubai at 32 weeks , no fit to fly was asked for (after paying my doctor 10k for this).
Stayed over in dubai for two weeks with my sister. Two days to my departure to New York , I started having painful contractions , was really bad . Called my naija doctor , told me to use ventolin tabs , no relieve A night before I left the pain intensified with more frequent contractions , my doctor told me to check into a hospital in dubai to check if am dilated , told me if I was 4cm dilated I had to choice but to give birth in dubai ( I said never , I ain't giving birth to an Arab baby )
Held on to my faith , got to the airport with a smile covering up my pains . Got on the flight , flight was smooth , no legs swollen .
Getting to jfk , got on the wheel chair , was wheeled to the immigration .
Officer ; hi
Me ; good afternoon
Officer; why you here
Me ; vacation and to have my baby
Officer ; punches on his system then took my finger prints . Then ask what do you do in Nigeria
Me ; I am a ****
Officer ; how are you paying your bills ,cheque or cash
Me ; I have some cash with me and the rest in my card , which ever works .
Officer ; how did u hear about the doctor
Me ; he came highly recommended and I have read reviews about him
Officer ; stamps me in for 6months . This took less than 5 mins .
I was happy , got my luggage n moved to customes.
Then one stern looking black officer asked for my pp n landing card . Saw my visa and started questioning me .
Off; how long are you here for
Me ; 3 months
Off; can I see ur return ticket
Off ; u mean you would stay in a hotel for 3months ?
Me ; yes
Off; is it already paid for ?
Me ; not yet but I already booked it
Off; collected the booking , asked me if I had family or friends in the U.S. ( I said no) asked me again (I said no)
Off; asked me what I do in Nigeria ? Told him n said so am off work for 3 months
Me ; yes I am maternity leave
Officer , so you are having your baby here
Am like oh yes !!
Gives me my pp , he just wasted my time . Told me to move on , no agriculture with all the food I brought .
I got out , headed to Maryland to check into a hospital , I was monitored for about an hour , doctor told me everything was fine that I was just 1.5cm dilated . Recommended pain killer n I was released.
Heading back to New Jersey for my doctors appointment on Monday .
Ps ; I actually have family n friends in the U.S. But I used a hotel reservation for my visa application , needed to stick with it.

So sorry for the long post o , I even tried to cut the story short . My hands are aching sef ....

kaakaa:
So i went to my acc officer for PTA and she said they don't give but that I can get from the blackmarket now, that the price has dropped.....
I hurriedly went to the mallams to confirm and they told me 210 but eventually agreed to sell the dollars for 200........ I hope it keeps coming down o....lol

OMG !!!! Where's this mallam please . I was still told 220 some minutes ago. . Please help!!!

Lol, you people should stop laughing at me o, America is too far , incase I crave something and can't find it (esp my milo n milk ) . I believe I am on the right track , no contraband .
Thanks for your replies , hoping to share my favoured POE experience soon.

Hi dear,
I just read your post, as no one else has spoken about having a baby in philly . I have chosen to have my baby in Philly later this year as it is close to New Jersey where I would be accommodated.
I would like you to please enlighten me on the best hospital to use, bills and if you have contact of any good doctor.
Thank you.
