Angry at the Bank

GE Money Bank is ripping me off! I've got a Banana Republic card with them and they're not helping.

I have a credit balance on my credit card. It's fairly large since I returned several items that I don't need. It made sense in my head. Don't need it = return it!

Then I called the bank and asked them to write me a check back for the balance. I figured this would be relatively easy since it's my money, and they've got all the information they need to send it to me. Not so! I was told by the schmarmy customer agent on the other end that they'll send me my money in 45 to 60 days.

Really? Must I really wait two months to get my money back? There isn't even an option to have them expedite it. I tried asking. Does anyone else know how I can deal with this? I'd been hoping to get the money back for rent. Argh...
