I guess "purchase" is the same as activation in thier eyes? oiy-vay- iam telling every-one I know- the easy way is not the easy way these days.

Marketing/solicitations feel pushy, underhanded and too frequent. My suggestion... deliver the VALUE first, then maybe I'll pay to subscribe. Unfortunately, the only benefit I've seen so far is the SEO. The "someone visited your profile" emails are EXTREMELY annoying. Already set the spam filter to disregard. --Dr. B.

Holy crap it's been a long 20 minutes. I asked the tele-guy if his night consists of registering mac users visa cards, and he laughed and said yes. What a joke, I hate the digital age. Nothing is ever easily compatible! OK, now it is October of 2009, and this has been going on forever! Just call it in, and refuse to give your soc-sec #! Holy crap it’s been a long 20 minutes.

The remaining money on my card was rejected at every store where I tried to use it. After you deducted an actavation fee and my one purchase I should have $10.88 left. Now I read from the complaints that you deduct $2.00 per month during the time I cannot use it. This may be the reason I cannot bring up a balance at your balance site. It says only no record of card, when I submit my gift card number. This was a gift and, after this experience, I shall never buy your card.

WTH? Is there anything I can do? So, I bought a gift card for myself so I could buy things online easier – I used a friend’s PC to ‘register’ it, and it is rejected at every site I try.

What is this 1997 all over again by making your website exclusive to one browser? Their phone thing was quite terrible, asking me for the security code before it ever asked for the card number. Then of course it couldn't find my card number. Bush league! Yup, never buying one of these cards again. What is this 1997 all over again by making your website exclusive to one browser?
