Woman Accidentally Tips $7K at Subway, Struggles with Bank for Refund

After a month-long dispute with Bank of America, Vera Conner finally receives a temporary credit for the accidental tip she left at a Subway outlet.

  • Vera Conner, a Georgia woman, accidentally tipped $7,105.44 on a $7.54 Subway sandwich, mistaking the tip amount for her phone number while trying to earn loyalty points.
  • Conner noticed the mistake when she checked her credit card statement and immediately contacted her bank, Bank of America, to dispute the charge.
  • Bank of America initially denied her refund request, stating that she still had to pay for the sandwich and the claim had to be resubmitted with only the tip under dispute.
  • After a month-long struggle, Conner was finally issued a 'temporary credit' for the charge.
  • Following the incident, Conner has decided to stop using loyalty programs.
