@StrawDog @donni And the troubles were cemented when the capitalists failed to add a practical way for visitors to pay a website operator an amount between 0.10 and 1.00 USD for access to an Internet resource. (Each credit card transaction has a fee close to 0.30 USD on top of the 3% of the total.) This gap in financial services led directly to normalizing abusive ad practices to avoid the loss of reach that comes with requiring a monthly subscription.

The Business Behind The News
Google Wallet updates expiry date of debit card or credit card before physical card is issued and activated so Google gets paid quicker than any other supplier which is unfair and greedy and usurps power away from the customer in favour of the supplier but saves having to use a second debit card or credit card to survive till late debit card or credit card arrives in post and is activated. This is through special arrangement between Google and certain banks including Auswide Bank. #googlewallet #debitcard #creditcard #expiry #auswidebank #digital
Auswide Bank is delivering new credit cards and debit cards 2 weeks late after expiry so I have to use another bank's debit card to tide me over till they arrive then swap back or internet and hosting will drop out and food will run out. Bank accounts won't close in Auswide Bank only debit cards will be late to use at ATM or shops. #finance #auswidebank #debitcard #creditcard #expiry #late #internet #hosting #food #cash

@pastelfluffyfox it's also a trap at best and can be used to frame the user of said details as #carding #fraudster!

  • Not to mention since carding #fraud is only getting more rampant since the days of #Boseak, it won't work either because #FraudDetection will simply flag said transactions as fraudulent and preemptively block any charges.
    • And if you think that's extreme: No, that's so old I knew this even before I worked at a payment processor.

NEVER EVER use someone elses' card without authorization and having that being allowed by the card issuer.

  • This is usually not the case NOR would any non-business card issuer agree to it!
    • And OFC they will demand all the #KYC stuff beforehand...

So at best someone violated #PCIDSS and their card issuer's ToS'es but most likely they either want to track you and/or frame you for #CreditCard fraud!

Last december I quitted my account at Revolut, because I can do everything they do with the account I have with my other bank (for years). There was no reason to keep it, so off it went.
Today I was reading a message on the #Betterbird weblog and I am more than glad that I did what I did.

If everyone's deeper in debt personally than ever before, & fewer able to afford a simple emergency…

& China's dumping bonds in a quiet flood.

& day-to-day inflation, not counting subsidized Big Oil, continues upward, eating any wage increases.

& you need a wheelbarrow for deposits when this depression is finally outed – because authoritarians just print money –

than why not put a #Senate26 candidate on your #creditcard while it still has value?
