Hi there! I come with a rather funny and at the same time disturbing tale, lol. I've been having weird issues with my JP account lately.
My credit card doesn't work with JP billing site, but my bank has a feature that allows me to create a "cyber-card", which is some kind of virtual prepaid card number to be used in online transactions. This card does work with JP PSU, the fact is that I've been paying my acount and GC with it without problems... Or so I though.
The thing is, I stopped playing for the summer, like for 4 months because I don't have a good computer in my hometown. This "cyber-card" expires when you keep it empty for a couple months (couldn't say the correct date because I didn't check till 5 months from the last payment and it was deactivated at that point). BUT, when I logged in the game, I still had a premium account. I can't explain the reason, since I was never billed again from SEGA site, and as I said, the card used for the payment wasn't even activated at that point, so if you were going to suggest that it was the monthly recurring payment and that I had been paying for the 4 months I was inactive, the answer is no, I checked (believe me, I did MANY times, lol).
So, I was a bit mindfucked, as you can expect, and as I resumed playing like a week before the date my new "free-premium" account would expire, I waited for it to expire and see if SEGA would give me another free month of premium account, lol. But it didn't happen, the account went into free course again.
Then, like 2~3 weeks ago I paid for my girlfriend's Guardian license, to get her the free 10 premium days so we could build her a nice equipement before she returned to free course again, and I decided to pick also some GC points, and some more a couple days later, so in the end I paid like 5000 yens. I always check my "cyber-card to see if the payment was done, because as I use Euros, there's always a bit that I don't use, and I saw it was all done correctly. BUT, Yesterday night, for some reason I checked my bank account, and my mindfuck level went over nine-thousand when I found that my cyber-card had it's 50€ back. My GF still have her premiun account, I still have the 30M I earned selling what I got in the GC gacha, and everything points that nothing was cancelled or undone, it's just that I actually got the money back.
Recalling previous GC payments, I didn't control too much the amount of money I used till now, but I might have had the money back more than once, and I don't know what to think. It seems cool that I can play for "free" but I don't want to be sued, lol.
So, isn't this really weird? I wonder if this had happened to someone else, because as I said, I find the issue a bit disturbing.
