My strange experience with Imprint
Imprint put my Booking.com credit card on suspension as an employee at a clinic tried to charge on it with my permission during my travel to Japan. I don’t usually use this card, but I decided to use it since it had zero balance on it. I called the credit card company to let them know the charge was valid. Imprint said they won’t be able to let me use the card without investigation. I didn’t understand why, but I did what they asked me to do anyway. Imprint told me to send them my ID and a selfie, so I did right away. Then Imprint said I must provide the itemized invoice from the clinic with all the requested information. They said if I failed to send them the invoice right away, they must close my account. The clinic gave me the invoice prior to this incident, so I sent Imprint a copy as directed. Then Imprint denied the invoice because it was written in Japanese and they didn’t understand what was written. Imprint said since it was not written in English, it was not a valid invoice. They told me to send them the invoice written in English right away, and if I failed to do so, they must close my account. I let them know I was at a clinic in Japan, so the invoice was written in Japanese and I can’t change that. They still said the valid invoice must be written in English, and they must close my account if I failed to provide it. People use Japanese language in Japan. My family used Google translate and read almost anything written in Japanese while we were traveling. It is a valid language. I didn’t think what Imprint demanded was fair, but there was not much else I could do. I’m not going to submit a translated version as it won’t be authentic. At this point, I didn’t want to work with Imprint. I used a different card. I wish the credit card company hires better company than Imprint to handle the matter like this.
