Hội thoại
CSR: Hello, Premier Bank. How can I help you?
Customer (Vivian): My card was declined at a coffee shop just now, and I know I had money.
CSR: I'm sorry to hear that. Let me check the transaction.
Vivian: It was a USD 15 charge at Brewed Awakening Café.
CSR: Let me look... I see the issue. There were two pending charges from yesterday that brought your balance close to zero. The USD 15 charge this morning exceeded your available balance.
Vivian: Oh, I forgot about those pending charges.
CSR: You have several options: you can transfer funds from your savings account, or we can authorize an overdraft protection fee.
Vivian: I'd like to transfer USD 200 from savings, please.
CSR: Done. Your balance is now updated.

Traps
Bẫy 1: Decline reason
- Không phải card hết hạn - chỉ insufficient funds do pending charges.
Bẫy 2: Solution preference
- "I'd like to transfer" = customer preference, không phải bank's offer đầu tiên.
Bẫy 3: Pending charges
- Pending charges "close to zero" balance - thường xảy ra khi forget.
Topic: Card declined vì pending charges đầy balance, solution transfer từ savings.
