Cha-Ching

Hi! I'm a complete twit. Pleased to meet you!

Got an email from the lovely folks in the billing department at Linden Lab today letting me know they were unable to bill my tier to my credit card and thus my account is on hold. :P Ooops. The credit card on file expired in August. Should you consult a calendar, you'll notice it's now September. I've updated the info now and sent them an embarrassed apology. :)

Still... the gas company and my ISP, both of whom also bill direct to the credit card, emailed me a notice before the end of August to remind me that I needed to supply a new card - I don't remember seeing a similar message from Linden Lab. :( Happily, I'm able to log in, so whether it automatically went off-hold when I supplied the new info or if they hadn't got around to putting it on hold yet (the email was only a few hours old), no reisdents were harmed during the course of this experiment.

Same thing happened to me for August's billing cycle. I kept reminding myself to feed the new card details in, and just hadn't.

Is that why I was unable to buy things over the 'Net with the numbers I stole from your card?

I mean -- uh, you -- that is, I --

*runs away*

That's why I use PayPal. :-)
