My VMP was canceled even though I updated my info

@Barney Feels that way. Was going to order 3 speaker sets today and then found out I was just ordinary. Oh the pain!!

@Bayamonprieto77

You look so much better now.

@CaptAmehrican I sent one through support, but think its just a generic support account. How do I address one directly to @galmaegi?

@Bayamonprieto77
i think they are running a few days behind, so you may not hear anything until Mon or Tues.

@Bayamonprieto77 I will look into it on Monday and get back to you!

@craigthom you’re tempting fate.

@PantHeist In the meantime, we have to watch them do the Full Monty.

@PantHeist Then all of us will lose it when our cards update or we change cards. If this is the case I hope they fix that glitch soon or they will be busy @shawn??? Is this why (see post I am replying to)?

@Kidsandliz your membership will not be canceled when you update your default payment settings.

@shawn Thank you for that info as I will be doing that sometime this month (when the new card finally comes) as the expiration date on my credit card is April.

@shawn
Having a few probs. Got an email that my card wouldn’t charge for VMP. Went to VMP to look at the history of payments. Uh oh. Error terribly wrong page. Tried to save a new card JIC. Card would not save.

Also my VMP card does not appear to be the same as my default payment card. So what’s going on?

@Barney
Fuck you @Barney, now i have to watch that movie again.

@f00l Glad I could make your day a little sunnier.
/giphy go ahead make my day

@f00l

Your VMP payment failed on 3/9.

It worked fine when we retried on 3/10. Looks like same card you’ve been using since July 2015.

Working on a fix for your VMP payment history page. Thanks for making me work the weekend.

@shawn
So sorry. Rather frustrating when I couldn’t see the payment history. If you wanna fix this Monday, cool.

@f00l how’s you VMP payment history page now?

@shawn I think she’s practicing driving drunk.

@Barney
You are evil.
Note about that drunk driving 1 block ordeal. I was under 21. So there. Thanks for punishing me for telling about how it still bothers me that I did it so many decades later.

@shawn
Seems to work. Thanks.

Can you take away @Barney’s K since she’s being evil?

@f00l Yes, I am evil and I’m sorry.

@Barney
Yes you are evil today.

But are you really sorry, or is that just purple deception?

/giphy "purple deception"

@f00l Have I ever lied to you?

@fjp999 see @shawn’s response, just above. Sounds like you should be safe.

@RedOak Thanks. I found his response (happy, happy) and will test it out later today.

First time to have a chip in one of these cards and hear they are a pain in the ass!

@fjp999 It’s a bit surprising you haven’t run into smartchip cards previously. I think all of ours have been converted for at least 6+ months.

Their payment approval process can be painfully slow. Processors are getting better tho.

Amazing to us - that Costco still does not require them in their terminals since they improve security. (Another advantage to SAMs - not sharing the germs of everyone who interacted with the cashier since Costco also requires you to hand over your card… and of course the SAMs Scan & Go app means you don’t even have to wait in checkout lines!)

…BTW, have you noticed some folks hold their cards in their mouths when their arms are full?

@fjp999 exactly

@RedOak I am more of a cash/debit card person & only have 1 CC card which is getting the chip now. Not sure about the timing.

I have noticed people being very odd about what they consider full of germs. I had a friend stay over. She uses her phone all the time & everywhere. You can see it is filthy! I use a clean dish towel to dry dishes & my friend was in shock about me spreading germs. Later I went on a gov page to find I was correct. When one has too many dishes to let them air dry it is OK to towel dry with a fresh towel.

I also read that most smart phones carry more germs than a toilet door handle (those door handles are usually cleaned more often than phones)!

@fjp999 I got a new debit card with a chip last year.

I only use cash when I have to. I use my Amazon credit card most of the time, but I use Discover if I’m shopping wherever their 5% cash back is that quarter. Since I can’t imagine Discover could get away with charging any merchant 5% on a transaction, I think that means they are losing money when I use my card. Poor them.

My new Amazon Visa is odd in that all it’s got on the front are my name, the name of the card, and the chip. No card number, no expiration date, not date I got the card. So it won’t work with a manual imprinter, but I can’t remember the last time I saw one, and I can always use another card for that.

The most annoying thing about chip readers is that they keep saying “do not remove” card, until it’s time to removed the card, and then they start making a loud “removed your damned card” beeping noise.

I understand that they don’t want people to forget and leave their cards in the things, but how about a nice “ding” and five or ten seconds before the annoying “beep beep beep”?

@shawn Meh. still has a heart, yay!

@shawn
/giphy busted

@shawn so cool of you to do that! … Or not, as @unixrab would say.

Note to self: don’t take a 2-day vacation from monitoring my commercial email account.

@RedOak the hooks are in deep

@shawn I never received an email about out of date info. Never thought to check being that my card info never changed but the chip stuff did. Thanks for the help!
