More on the declined charges (Patreon)
Content
Basically what is going on is that a lot of pledges are being declined as fraud by your banks. In some cases, peoples’ cards have been temporarily blocked by their own banks because of these fraud alerts. As to why, I am sure we will find out once the Drama Llama has left the building.
If your charge was declined, you may have to contact your bank and let them know that Patreon is not fraud, and to allow the pledges to happen. Or you can try using a different card. Alternatively, you can use PayPal.
Another pothole in the highway to hell that is online content creation.
If you have ended up as one of the unfortunate recipients of this drama, I do much appreciate you going through the effort to stick around!
