Patreon Payment Issues this month
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure how many of you may be affected by this (hopefully not many), but I think this would be a good PSA.
It appears Patreon is having issues processing some payments as they're getting flagged as suspicious by some banks. From what I've gathered this may be due to Patreon having switched their credit processing company recently, although I can't confirm/deny this.
If you are affected, there's a few things you can do to minimize issues on your end, and hopefully this smooths out moving forward. Please see the tweet below:

Same CARD,change to paypal is OK
I got an emailed warning for possible fraud but I clicked "yes this was me"
Yes, apparently this is due to Patreon changing their payment processor to a UK based entity, which is basically pissing off all US based banks and making them flag transactions in this way
