100′s of thousands who can’t cover a $25 annual fee?

Sad.

100′s of thousands who will no longer be supporting a pornography company?

Priceless.

jblack – so if you watch porn you have an “intelligence deficit” – That is the stupidest thing I’ve heard in a while .. You must have watched a lot of porn in your time.

Ok, Mike. Then those customers had not actually wised up. Tragic on this day of “hope”….So besides an intelligence deficit, they have a reduced potential for credit deficit. Fitting I suppose.

Is is told why each transaction did not go through.

And yes we all know the economy is terrible, but everyday we learn more about how terrible it is.

I for one didn’t know that 10% of cardholders don’t even have $25 available to spend.

And I guess your one of the clueless readers because I got a reaction out of you.

Well he would not be told why the credit did not go through so there could be cancellations, what fool in this day and age is paying to watch porn, when there are millions of places to see it for free ? WoW now there are some idiots forget the credit card.

And by the way what person over 10 does not know the economy is that bad, was this story supposed to be a surprise or get a reaction ? because if it was you must be writing to a lot of clueless people.

my best banking story…years ago denied a home loan based on being self employed…in 1989 was making 38k… Was told by banker a person working st 7-11 at $4 an hour had a better chance at a loan than I did even though I made 4x his pay.

Bank are so backward and are paying the piper now.

“”"This is really bad news for your friend!”"

Actually the moral of the story is that its really bad news for all of us.

If 10% of the population who have a credit card in good standing, don’t have $25 of credit available, then its very bad news for anyone in business.

Mr. Black

Just to be clear, these customers cards were no canceled, just didn’t have $25 of credit left on them.

Also he is experiencing the same renewal rate he has for years, around 75%, so these people are not customers that wanted there subscription canceled.
