I've seen bad customer service before, but Elan takes the cake. It's pretty impressive how consistently bad they are. I had already contacted Apple about adding my Fidelity Visa card to apple wallet so I contacted Elan. I'd rather fight Mike Tyson in his prime than contact Elan, but I had no choice. So we go through all the highly complicated steps of RESTARTING MY APP which of course doesn't work, so the lady at Elan says "sorry bro" contact Apple. Well, I contact apple again and they do every diagnostic in the world and explain how their system works that this error is not even possible to be on their side. I wait a week to recover before contacting Elan again and then the same "restart the app". The lady asked me FIVE times what the error message was. It was "error, contact your card issuer". I thought that was a pretty simple and straightforward message, but Elan once again somehow made it complicated. So the lady says "hey, idk what im doing so im going to transfer you to web services". I wasn't sure how this was related to web services, but who knows? So I get transferred to Shamira, and she cuts me off mid sentence telling me this is a card issue and transfers me back to the original customer service I called... So I tell this lady what happened and she was like "let me get a supervisor", all i thought was "this is gonna be entertaining". The supervisor Steven was more clueless than them (which is pretty impressive). You're better off contacting the chimpanzee at your local zoo than Elan Financial Services. Please Fidelity, choose a new card issuer.
