AISHIT Report: IRK Refunds
30Hey, I wanted to give you all an update on the refunds for the IRKs from the 3/31 Meh & SideDeal events, but the update was very boring. So instead I’ve asked our friendly AI to write a more interesting report for you all:
The IRK Refund Chronicles - A Journey Through Time and Space
Greetings, esteemed SideDeal and Meh customers!
Today, we embark on a rollercoaster ride of excitement and adventure, as we unravel the mystery surrounding your missing $49.99 IRK refunds. It’s a tale that transcends time, filled with cryptic codes, secret societies, and daring escapades.
As you may remember, we recently had an offer for our $50 Instant Regret Kits (IRKs) on SideDeal, alongside a Meh-rathon on Meh. Those who spent at least $49.99 on Meh and bought the $50 IRK on SideDeal were instructed they’d get a $49.99 refund. Little did we know, however, that these refunds held the key to an ancient enigma.
Our accounting department, under the guidance of Captain Numbercruncher, stumbled upon a centuries-old cipher hidden within the financial records. Decoding this message led our team to the doorstep of a secret society, the Guardians of the Refund, who had safeguarded the lost refunds in a hidden chamber beneath our very headquarters!
But the Guardians would not relinquish the refunds without a challenge. Captain Numbercruncher and his team had to solve a series of riddles and puzzles, each one more complex and mind-boggling than the last. As they ventured deeper into the hidden chamber, they encountered a labyrinth of secret passages and booby traps, designed to thwart all but the most intrepid of explorers.
Finally, our heroes discovered an ancient artifact, the legendary Refundian Compass, which led them to the heart of the chamber. There, they confronted the leader of the Guardians, who revealed that the refunds were part of a centuries-old tradition, a test of intellect and resolve for worthy companies.
Moved by our team’s unyielding determination, the Guardians agreed to release the refunds. However, they presented one final, seemingly insurmountable challenge - a game of chess against the legendary Grandmaster Refundovich, an AI programmed by the society’s founders.
Captain Numbercruncher summoned all his strategic prowess and, in a nail-biting match, emerged victorious, securing the return of the coveted refunds to their rightful owners – you, our loyal customers.
We apologize for the suspense and delay in processing the refunds. Rest assured that the funds are…almost…en route to your accounts and should arrive within the next week or so. Your patience and understanding have been nothing short of remarkable. Well, most of you. Ok, several of you.
Stay tuned for more thrilling tales from the world of SideDeal and Meh! And as always, thank you for your, uh, unwavering support.
Sincerely,
@Dave

tl;dr - I forgot to start the refund process. It’s taking longer than expected and that is my fault. But it is going to happen soon. Sorry about that.

Ok; thanks for the entertaining bit
thanks for the update
Mine has shown up on Sidedeal:
@Kyeh Good catch! Mine shows the same… now to get the msg over to my bank.
I got the hint it was in process by an alert from my credit card company via text.
It’s not back on my card but I have no doubt it will get posted eventually.
@cengland0 Is that your phone number?
@stinks no, I believe it to be a number someone would call if they do not recognize the transaction. Maybe there is someone at Sidedeal that actually answers the phone for those people to avoid a chargeback
@cengland0 Good deal. Figured it was one of the two, and didn’t want your deets out there if it was that case - unless you wanted that, I guess.
Though I guess now we have your last four and the card issuer.
/giphy I’m still nervous
@stinks you have the last 4 but not the card issuer. The phone number is part of the descripter of the merchant, not my credit card company.
I get this alert texted to me whenever there is any transaction and I noticed very few merchants put their phone number in the description. Sidedeal is one of the few.
Thanks for the info. I was checking my account. But I wasn’t worried yet. You have always come through in the past so I figured something was going on.
@sunnysideup22 I have my Quip!!!
Not a great toothbrush, though, imo.

I’m done complaining
