Do you still call responding to a poll "voting" even if it is not an opinion poll? What if it is just a statistical recording of factual data?

#RandomThoughts #MyMistake? #JustHabit?

🤗 Learn from my mistakes:

Yesterday, I rushed into purchasing a MyPrepaidCenter Prepaid Card (MasterCard) without realizing that MyPrepaidCenter was the provider. My haste caused me to overlook important details.

Later, I attempted to use the card on Namesilo, which resulted in my account being temporarily disabled. Thankfully, Namesilo quickly reinstated my account after I contacted them and explained the issue.

Subsequently, I tried to buy a domain from Porkbun, but the card was not accepted by Stripe.

I later discovered on Reddit that MyPrepaidCenter's fraud detection system is overly sensitive and often doesn't work reliably. The workaround, as many users have suggested, is to purchase Amazon gift cards with MyPrepaidCenter prepaid cards.

Fortunately, my card had a balance of only $5, and Namesilo understood the situation, reinstating my account promptly. Otherwise, I could have lost $20 and access to our Pixelfed instance, NixOrigin's domain (nixorigin.one), which could have seriously damaged my reputation.

Learn from my mistakes, and please be cautious when dealing with prepaid cards from providers like MyPrepaidCenter. Share this information within the fediverse communities to help others avoid similar issues.
