I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s some kind of Halloween thing or what, but I have noticed this month has shown many more Email Players subscribers being plagued with stolen, hacked, and compromised credit card issues than ever before.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll always see a handful each month when selling subscription offers.<\/p>\n
But this month there\u2019s been at least twice as many.<\/p>\n
Including some up to this very day.<\/p>\n
And each time, it can be very frustrating for the customer. I can read the frustration in their \u201cplease don\u2019t cancel my subscription, a new card is on the way!\u201d pleas for their lord & master elBenbo to stay his itchy trigger finger that is always so quick & eager to cancel & curate out those he deems unworthy, and eject them into the emptiness of the Outer Void, never to be allowed to return.<\/p>\n
But, here\u2019s the thing.<\/p>\n
And a lot of people are probably going to shriek at me like a banshee at this.<\/p>\n
\u201cBen that\u2019s so unfaaaaaiiiirr!\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And maybe they will be right.<\/p>\n
But, I have decided to double down on the brilliant Dan Kennedy policy of:<\/p>\n
\u201cYour crisis does not become my crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fact is, it\u2019s a pain in the ass to keep up with peoples\u2019 overdue credit cards problems after I\u2019ve sent the Email Players list in \u2014 which I will be doing later today for the November issue.<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t go into all the reasons why.<\/p>\n
Because they aren\u2019t important.<\/p>\n
What is important is, my policy for bad credit cards at the end of the month:<\/p>\n
I will no longer be making \u201cexceptions\u201d and waiting for people to get their new card in the mail after being hacked. All accounts not current at the time I send the list to the printer will be deleted, with the customer blocked in the shopping cart for wasting my time having to go through and do so. That means, if you want to get the next issue, you will have to temporarily use a different card for now, then switch to whatever card you are waiting for later when it arrives.<\/p>\n
It’s very simple, as I can send you a secure link to change it at any time.<\/p>\n
But anyone not current by the time I send the list in will be canceled.<\/p>\n
And before some sob sister or mush cookie holds a candlelight vigil about this:<\/p>\n
If you are an adult, with a real business, the only kind of subscribers I want and care to have\u2026 and if you (1) don\u2019t have a second credit card or (2) a personal credit card you can use temporarily while you await your new card, then you have no place amongst us in the Email Players of the Horde.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t give me those silly excuses, Maynard.<\/p>\n
Your long suffering taskmaster elBenbo knows.<\/p>\n
Oh, yes, he knows indeed that if your precious cell phone account, internet account, cable TV account, Netflix account, Amazon Prime account, Spotify account, iTunes account, or any other entertainment-related account was being paid for with a defrauded card, you\u2019d somehow find and use a different card to keep services going unencumbered.<\/p>\n
True story:<\/p>\n
Last year when I had an office in the Old Town section of the town I lived in, I had my high speed internet on my American Express business card. And, something went kablooey with their system, where it couldn\u2019t work with American Express for some reason.<\/p>\n
I kept foolishly ignoring their warnings.<\/p>\n
And, it got to the point where they were about to shut it off the next day.<\/p>\n
So what did I do?<\/p>\n
I simply used my personal credit card until they got their shyt together.<\/p>\n
This ain\u2019t rocket science.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s simply a matter of priorities.<\/p>\n
And, thus, henceforth, for anyone whose credit card has been compromised, hacked, stolen\u2026 if you want the next month\u2019s issue \u2014 in this case, the November issue \u2014 you need only let me know you want to use a different card, I\u2019ll send you a secure link to change it, and when your shiny new card arrives, simply let me know again and I\u2019ll send you another secure link.<\/p>\n
But I won\u2019t be \u201cholding off.\u201d<\/p>\n
And I won\u2019t be making any exceptions.<\/p>\n
Whatever the case, the deadline for the November 100th \u201cEmail Players\u201d issue is almost here.<\/p>\n
If you want in on time to get it, use the link below.<\/p>\n
If you need to swap out your credit card, best let me know.<\/p>\n
And if you couldn\u2019t care less, either way, you\u2019re a trooper for reading this far\u2026<\/p>\n
Whatever the case, here is the link to subscribe:<\/p>\n
