I have funds stuck now for 31 days with no replies and no resolutions.
I withdrew 1354.75 USD to my credit card on December 19, still nothing has arrived.
The transaction details are:
2017-12-19 04:28:41 1354.75 USD Credit card: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-3670 Completed
I have tickets with ZERO replies from 14 days ago
ticket: #549834 - started December 22, 2017 17:44
ticket: #600164 - started January 05, 2018 15:52 - no reply at all.
I need some serious help with this.
I am fully verified. Have 2FA. Everything is in order. But no funds, and there is ZERO response from CEX.
At this stage, even a cancellation of transfer and place back into my CEX account would be helpful.
We have escalated the case to the Finance department. Please wait for the updates.
Well my ticket just got marked as solved. Well Done!
And I just got sent a reply which is the most useless copy/paste I have ever seen!!!! Clearly no one even read my ticket.
Here the copy paste:
Dear XXXXX
Now we actively solve your tickets in several streams.
=You can help us very much if you carefully read the following information=
If you have a problem with withdrawals to VISA cards, this information is for you. Especially if you get the error "initial transaction was not found".
1. If after 29 December 2017 you failed to make a successful withdrawal, you need to make at least one minimum deposit in the currency you want to withdraw (EUR, USD, GBP). In such a way, an initial transaction is generated, which allows you to withdraw to a card.
This is due to the recent change in the MCC code for transactions on 29 December 2017. The previous MCC code caused additional charges in some banks during transactions. Therefore, this step will improve the user experience.
2. We remind you that a withdrawal to the card can go up to 3 banking days (!) for VISA and Mastercard.
3. On 2 January 2018 our payment provider had a problem that was resolved the same day. Therefore, if you have successfully done deposits from 29 Dec 2017 to 2 Jan 2018, please try again, without the need for a second minimum deposit.
4. If you have a VISA card and you made a successful deposit, but you can not make a withdrawal in the same currency contact the bank and make sure that your bank understands such transactions and you do not have any limits on your card.
Also please check if we support card withdrawals in your region
https://cex.io/limits-commissions#/direction/withdrawal For example,
- US citizens can't make card withdrawals, but are authorized to make card deposit
- Indian customers are not allowed to withdraw via VISA
If the problem persists, create a separate ticket through
https://support.cex.io. Describe the steps in details, add screenshots and add the following text "visa_withdrawal_mcc" in your message.
5. If you have a Master Card and you can not make withdrawal, contact your bank and make sure that your bank accepts such card withdrawals and you do not have any limits on this card.
If the problem is not solved, create a new ticket with a description of the steps that you implement, attach screenshots and add "mastercard_withdrawal_01" to the text. Such a combination will allow us to promptly escalate such cases.
If your situation does not concern the above issues, please accept our deepest apologies for the inconvenience and resubmit the ticket with a detailed description of your problem.
Please do not create multiple tickets on the same requests. This takes only extra time for our team for requests processing like merging dozens tickets on the same request.
We reserve the right to lower the priority of tickets, which are created for the same request.
We work hard 24/7, the whole department is concentrated on speed and resolution. We will solve your issue for sure.
Thank you for understanding.
CEX.IO Team
NONE of that reply applies to me at all. NONE. ZERO. ZIP. NOTHING applies. The ticket clearly mentions my withdrawal was on Dec 19. You copy/paste about dates after that time.
Even the ticket clearly mentions Mastercard in the subject, yet you copy/paste rubbish including VISA card related stuff.
This is utterly abhorrent.
31 Days I have been waiting and my money has not arrived - and your point Number 2 in the email says "We remind you that a withdrawal to the card can go up to 3 banking days (!) for VISA and Mastercard."
31 days I am waiting, but you remind me it takes 3 days. Very helpful.
Whoever answered my ticket with that reply and then marked it as solved needs to be sacked.
Or else, CEX truly is a SCAM!!!
Please, can someone who actually cares take a look at my tickets:
ticket: #549834 - started December 22, 2017 17:44
ticket: #600164 - started January 05, 2018 15:52 - no reply at all.
