Re: Admob refunded all my payments
#2I noticed a bunch of debits and credits to my credit card yesterday relating to admob. I never initiated these so I feared that my credit card was stolen.
I searched around and saw this link that described my issue. Apparently google has authorization to credit and debit our credit cards at will. They also do not bother to email you to let you know what is going on. And of course, no google customer service.
It also turns out that my debits and credits are not identical as the exchange rates vary and perhaps credit card fees occured. So I am either a bit up or down. Merry fucking christmas google.

#4I'm unaffected by this as I have never used Admob but I wonder which imbecile at Google thought it was a good idea to mess with payments and push/pull money out of people's bank/Paypal accounts around Christmas holidays?
I feel bad for all those affected knowing that there's virtually no way to get any kind of customer service from Google.

#5Few days ago Google emailed me saying they have credited all my advertiser balance on admob. But yesterday I noticed a debit of $50 on my credit card from them. I never ever used Admob for advertising but only as a publisher on some of my apps long ago. I can't wait to speak someone to resolve this after holidays. Something is surely messed up with admob.

#6I remember calling my bank one day and hearing that not only was my balance over a billion dollars, but I had a "two day float" of several million dollars. I called back to make sure I had the right number. I did--the amounts were increasing. Unfortunately, by the end of the day whatever it was corrected itself, and I was no longer a Forbes billionaire.

Hmm... do you lose miles for refunds that are not linked with the original transaction?

#9Does anybody have a good explanation of how credit card charge limits actually work? I once had Jet Airways mistakenly charge me $30,000 (in two installments of $15,000) on a card that had a limit of $14,000, and while I was unable to use the card afterwards, the original charge should not have been possible in the first place. When I called the bank to complain, all they could say is that it was an "offline" transaction and thus apparently unlimited.
(And yes, I got it reversed eventually, and then had to pick another fight to get them to credit me the difference in exchange rates in the meantime. All this because Jet's shiny new booking engine apparently didn't multithread too well and replaced my $300 tickets with somebody else's... longer version of story here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/other-asian-australian-south-...)
