  Careful of backcharging large companies. They’ll remove your account from all their services. Looking at you Google.

    That product tying is reason #3821 we need to start enforcing anti-trust law again.

    They don’t delete anything, though. They just deny YOU access to it.

      Not your computer, not your data. The cloud is just a buzzword for someone else’s computer.

    You get banned retrospectively too. I got banned from Adsense in 2003 and magically got demonetised from YouTube in 2006.

  And that’s the exact reason that less and less people are taking credit cards and only taking debit and ACH.

    Where do you see businesses accepting debit but not credit cards? I’ve only ever seen it accepting both or neither (in the case of neither, you have to physically mail in a check or link up ACH information). And the only time I see ACH or physical payment accepted is with governmental agencies in the US, because credit/debit costs them money to process while ACH/physical money does not.

      I haven’t experienced not taking credit cards, but T-Mobile just got rid of my ten dollar auto pay unless I switch from credit card to debit card.

      My barber won’t take credit, only debit or cash.

        Credit card fee’s most likely.

    I’ve never seen a merchant that doesn’t take a credit card. wtf are you talking about

    source

    • foggy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Really? I’ve seen literally thousands, of cash only businesses lol.

      I’ve never seen anything like a debit card only or whatever, but cash only businesses are fucking everywhere my dude.

        Wild. Maybe it’s a regional thing, but I’ve only been to one or two places in the last many years where I had to use my card instead of Apple Pay.

        Cash is strictly for drugs.

    not really. it's that credit cards usually cost a lot more per transaction in fees to the merchant.

    People, or businesses?

    For the rare business where it’s (unfortunately) standard practice e.g. gyms, I just setup a new (free) checking account with my existing bank.

    Other than those rare, and “standarized” cases, they’d have to be critical to my ability to keep breathing for me to even consider using a check, or another payment method linked directly to bank, including a debit transaction that requires my PIN, or ever using my debit card online.

  I’d look through the fine print if it says that they won’t serve ads. Cause I doubt that.

    The fine print didn't say I won't do a chargeback either. Two can play this game.

      I’d try to get a refund first unless you never plan to shop on Amazon again.

      • TheEntity@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I meant it as a counterpoint, not something I'd actually do. Especially considering I don't shop in such places in the first place. But yes, you're obviously correct.
