⚠️Payment Errors⚠️
I just found out apparently that Patreon did something very stupid, switched their billing from California to Dublin, Ireland and as a result many credit cards flagged it as fraudulent.
I'm posting about this here incase there's confusion around the payment errors. I don't know when it will get fixed and Patreon hasn't acknowledge the error yet. 🙃

Ohhhh that’s why my bank declined the payment
I put in a different card and I've only managed to pay 4 of my subscriptions for this month so far. >_< I'm still trying to do the rest with no more luck yet. Ayme, I hope everyone who supports you is able to resubscribe ASAP! Patreon seriously bungled this, oy.
I had this issue till I had to switch it to Paypal as it refused to take my card.
UGH. I joined the Patreon creators Discord to find out more... Then I found more info here: https://twitter.com/patreonsupport And here: https://status.patreon.com/ I changed my payment info; hopefully that $$ went through.
Mines went through but was charged for Dublin
I had that happen to me, I had to remove my card info, and re-enter it because it changed it for some reason.
My payment went through overnight with no issue, BUT I was charged an exchange fee for the difference from US dollars to UK Pounds. 😐
Same thing to me
Yeah it got me too i didn't get to eat lunch yesterday cause my bank had blocked my card
I literally just had my debit card canceled over this. Well, that's good to know 🙃
Oof, multinationals only use Ireland because it's a tax haven, so looks like Patreon has started doing a bit of the ol' tax dodging 🙄 ISTG, I wish at least one of these companies we use every day showed some moral bladdy backbone...
My card ended up locked and I had to get a replacement
Mine went though with a extra fee </3 Was curious as to why the location changed
I didn’t get a problem. Strange decision moving it to ireland though lol
Navy Federal CU account here, and it's pending. No call, no email. Looks like it's gone thru
Oh well thats crappy! Mine went through paypal fine it looks like. I hope you get your payment
Geez hope the tax dodge (or whatever) was worth it to them, because it must have screwed a lot of people!
I still was able to make my payment support because mine is through my PayPal??? I sure hope it still sent you the payment 🫠
Mine came out as normal, but I'm in the UK, so maybe that makes a difference?!
My bank called me about it as a fraud charge and I ended up having to pay an extra fee, thats so crazy
This is so weird. I got a receipt, but my card was not hit. My payments that happen on the first just didn't happen
I was wondering why after so many years of being a patron to various people that my bank chose now to send a security alert.
Yeah it wasn't taking my monthly payments this month so I had to unsubscribe then re-subscribe to get back on my favorite creators/artists pages. I had to pay more in taxes than I usually do because of it.
That happened to me and while I got back into some creators others still won't work
Yeah my bank marked it as fraudulent and I had to call to correct it
