One danger of chargebacks: companies may ban your account or otherwise treat your activity as fraud. It can be extremely difficult to get through to a person to correct the situation.

I know a couple folks who still can't use Lyft, for instance, because they charged back an NYC Citibike subscription. You can allegedly cancel a Citibike subscription by contacting customer support — but after no response, they issued a chargeback and Lyft banned them a couple days later. Since the accounts are tied to the phone number, they simply can't use the service.

Support actually managed to reverse the ban for a few days, but then it was re-triggered (presumably by some automated system).


It is cute to think that a person who was scammed on Airbnb for $950 where Airbnb refused to help resolve a blatant scam would even touch Airbnb again.


I don't think I would want to ever use Airbnb after that experience so charging back would be worth it.


Why would you want to keep using a service that just ripped you off anyway?


Get a new phone number/email/etc. These companies will lie to you when it’s convenient, no reason not to lie back if it becomes convenient for you.

However, in this case I don’t believe the author will ever want to do business with this disgusting company, so nothing of value will be lost.


Ah - so that's why GitHub Actions are unreliable right now.


Glad it wasn't just me. I was waiting over 10 minutes for a hosted runner.


Such a late 2010s / 2020s problem :-(

After most recently working in ads, I switched to working in climate - feels infinitely more meaningful on a daily basis.

We're working on carbon accounting and industrial decarbonization here at Gravity (https://gravityclimate.com). Your background could make for a strong fit.

Hi Ted,

Not OP but would like to get in touch as well.

Check your personal email.


I think https://jam.dev/ should do it!

(not affiliated - just a fan)


Second jam.dev - it’s zippy!

the founders are really responsive to any feedback so add it in the extension store or tweet them @jamdotdev


Tried it, really bad. Don't recommend.


Details?


Just so many bugs in the product and didn't feel right for an organization. Felt more like a toy app.
