Patreon pledge declines
🕑 Added 2018-08-02 19:35:38 +0000 UTC Hey y'all, apparently, a LOT of patron pledges are declining this month due to Patreon's error. They switched to a new global bank and thats flagging a lot of people's payments as "suspicious" and getting them locked and declined. So if your pledge didn't go through this month, please try any of the following to fix things;1) Update your credit card to a different card
2) Use PayPal if you aren't already
3) Probably the easiest solution, contact your bank to let them know the Patreon charges aren't fraudulent; this should be a one time thing
Once you've done any of those, just re-pledge at the same amount this month (if the pledge goes through successfully, you won't be double charged, don't worry, and if you are somehow, contact me and I'll refund you).
Apparently this was caused by patreon moving their banking to the UK. I'm really sorry this happened, but thank you for your patience and your support, it means a lot to me!

This is a really good writeup of this bull hockey. Do you mind if I lift some of your language to post about this issue elsewhere?

If I got a patreon receipt, does that mean everything is hunky-dory or?

I don't have patrons, not a patron either, yet. Should I go ahead and just see if everything checks out for me?
