Update on Rewards
🕑 Added 2015-05-05 16:58:32 +0000 UTC An update on the April rewards... As of today (the 5th), there are still over 30 people who have pending or declined payments. This is a large number. I'm going to wait until the 6th and hope the pending payments will go through. I'll probably send out rewards, including the comic, on the 6th or 7th. It is pretty distressing to see such a high number of declined pledges. I contacted all of them several days ago and didn't hear back from any until I posted my query yesterday about messages not getting through. Still, I'd say 3/4 of them have not responded. So if you have a declined pledge, you will want to get that fixed up as soon as you can. I'm going to give you a few more days, and if no progress is made, I will be dropping declined pledgers from the patron list, as they are artificially bumping up the milestones at that point. I wanted to write a post about how the patreon is going so far and what I have in store for it later, but I want to wait for April's rewards to be sent out first before I move onto the next topic. I'm also waiting until rewards are sent out before I post new content, so it doesn't look like I'm ignoring this and moving on. For those that got processed and are awaiting your rewards, I'm sorry for the prolonged wait. This is the messiest payment period I've experienced on here, and it's giving me a lot of headaches :/Comments

I've been using Paypal up to this point. It's shown as having been sent on my account.
Kadath
Actually, I wonder if anyone has been able to use paypal on this patreon before? I don't think it would be an option, but now I'm wondering.
Kadath
Well this is an adult content patreon, so I didn't think paypal was even an option for it. I think it may be what James said above, and debit cards are getting declined.
Kadath
Hmmm, that may well be a big part of it.

Thank goodness :)

Was mine reclined as well? Because I didnt get a message from you about either the rewards or declined payment, and Patreon is acting weird these days. Like, I just wanted to support someone, but as soon as I wanna checkout it doesnt list Paypal as an option, despite my Paypal being listed among my payment options. So I doublechecked on other patreons I already subscribed to and they dont list paypal there either? Yet Patreon subtracted the amount of last month from my paypal.
I hope this gets resolved soon, you need to get paid for what you do!

I hope mine went through.

Besides the Paypal issue, I've heard that banks tend to flag Patreon charges on debit cards and reject them. That sure matches up with my experience. This is the first month after I moved everything to a regular credit card, and it went through just fine.

Pledges try to renew every 48 hours after they are declined. I just had mine go through this morning, so it'll be another 2 days before any others are cleared.

Huh, kinda strange that it says that this was posted 19 hours, and just an hour ago got the email..weird O.o. Still, kinda sucks to about all the decline pledges, Even talented artists like yourself has gotta pay the Bills, Groceries, and Jumbo Size Bags of Coffee grounds. They ain't cheap y'know. >.>
Kadath
Hm, my patreon is set to adult, so I don't think people can even pledge with paypal. At least, I hope not!
Silvador
Well, I know mine went through, since I'm $148 down in my debit account. XD
Silvador
Here's hoping a lot of people aren't trying to use Paypal for their pledges. afaik, Paypal just declines payments to NSFW Patreons without any kind of notifications. That is what I've read, anyway. I could be wrong.
Kadath
Really? I just posted it an hour ago O.o And I just checked and your pledge is cleared. I kinda wonder if Patreon is having credit card processing issues this month, b/c there's been a lot of problems.
Kadath
You're cleared! :3

Well this message took 17 hours to reach my e-mails. Also it says my pledge went though fine, yet no charge was made to my account for the month when I checked this morning.
Gelnak
Am i one of the pending/declined? My end says it's gone through but the charge may not go out till the 12th for me >.>
