It is probably a new "feature" of the website to keep everyone honest. Out of curiosity, when you logged back in, did you notice if the ones you had already printed were still showing?
I had to call 5 minutes ago about my account. I know I had a $13 ECB that would expire tomorrow, and rather than hunt for the CRT copy, I was going to just print it and use it. I couldn't find it, or 3 others that are set to expire on April 1st.
I had them researched, and was told they had all been printed but not used. I still have a list of other ECB ready to print, and they show up in my account fine - I am so glad I keep a spreadsheet with my ECB!
Anyway, it looks like they are trying to deal with people who print multiple times and try to use the ECB multiple times. I would guess there are those who take advantage of managers who push through ECB - once your ECB prints, then go and print it out at home too. Use the home printed one first, so it goes through on its own, then use the CRT one, which the manager pushes through because it "must be good." Even if they called it in, if you used it the same day it wouldn't show as "used." It might also explain why they've gone to the "real time" system where the ECB print immediately. If the used ones show in their system immediately as well, then any manager who calls in won't be pushing through any that were just used down the street.
I just wish they would go to a paperless system where all your ECB get credited to a single money card. I'm tired of keeping up with the "scraps" of paper.
