It will not work when u need it

I applied I got the card. My first problem was that I couldn't activate it. I updated my phone number but still problem I could activated it after many call. I used it for sometimes and everything was okay. Today I couldn't use it it said card declined. I tried to paysomething online so I need approval for the teansaction from Thimbl app but when I tried to log in with the right passcode which is imposible that I will forget it but no way. I press forgod password and it said you have to register again I can't. So this is not acceptable and no excuses for that. Tell me what I will do with your credit card when I can't use it when I need it. I am going to pay you back what I spent and I will give it back to you.

Misleading

I went all through the application with it telling me I was approved when suddenly I get a screen message saying something went wrong when I later went back on the application it then told me I wasn’t eligible!!
