Nov-26-15  cormier: Nov-25-15 <mahmoudkubba: Dear ChG.Com: Greetings. I tried to be a premium member of your site first for one year by following the registration procedures. However, I made a mistake of putting Canadian Dollars card. I tried twice so that will be approximately more than two years. The sign twice gave me that an error happened. Yet when I return to my card I found that the site took about 80 Canadian dollars from it. I also sent you message(s) through e-mail for that matter. Please tell me if it is possible for what happened to be a member for two years or more, or if you are going to refund me the whole amount to my card again or what is your esteemed decision(s) for the whole matter. with respect, mahmoudkubba>

  WannaBe: <offramp> Thanksgiving is where we (Americans) eat, watch TV (Football) and go spend money shopping.

Exactly the same things Pilgrims did.

First thanks to some participants who helped me coming to this page. My difficulty and what happened:

I checked our credit card records and I see three attempted charges around Nov 24 18:26:42 (server time). All three charges were made with the same card, and all three were declined. I don't believe there is anything to refund; I believe if you examine your statement carefully you'll see these were declined charges.

I can't really tell why they were declined from the information I have, although part of it might make me guess the it was an incorrect CVV code (the 3 digits on the back).

So here are two suggestions. First, just try again and try to enter the CC information very carefully, especially when it comes to the 3-digits on the back of the card.

Failing that, my I suggest that you establish a PayPal account? If so, you'll find PayPal very useful and safe for many internet purposes, and it is guaranteed to work when you check out using our PayPal page.

Nov-26-15  mahmoudkubba: To ChG.Com: I want that what you are saying is correct. My card still has the amount charged on it. I just want that the money is only pending and will return to me. Because on checking my card status it says it clear: there are two draws each with 39.77 CD.
Nov-27-15  MarkFinan: Just a question about forum bios. Ive just tried adding to mine and whenever I press 'Update profile' then go back to my profile, he hasn't added what I typed out, it's deleted about 300 words as well. This is the 2nd time this has happened. How many characters can our bios have, and why does your system sometimes allow more, sometimes it just deletes when I try to update?

Nov-27-15  TheFocus: <seven trillion stotinki>

There's something a little stinky about this "stotinki" offer.

  chessgames.com: <mahmoudkubba> The card was declined and we don't have your money. From our perspective, it looks like you entered a card with almost-right information but something was a little off (e.g. the 3 digits on the back) — and when that happens the system approved the charge then a few seconds later it voids it. Sometimes this causes people to believe they've been charged, because they see the charge on their statement, but in fact their balance hasn't changed.

I find it surprising that your money is apparently locked up but that might be an issue with your local bank policy.

If you'd be willing to send me a copy of your credit card/bank statement perhaps I can help you make sense of it. In any case, please rest assured that no matter what's going on here, we'll make things right.
