    I will absolutely employ a 0 tolerance policy on forced ads.

    If I have paid for a service to be ad free and you throw me an ad, I won’t pay for your service.

    Hell, I’ll back-charge through my creditor and say I paid for a service that was not delivered.

      Careful of backcharging large companies. They’ll remove your account from all their services. Looking at you Google.

        Where do you see businesses accepting debit but not credit cards? I’ve only ever seen it accepting both or neither (in the case of neither, you have to physically mail in a check or link up ACH information). And the only time I see ACH or physical payment accepted but not debit/credit is with governmental agencies in the US, because credit/debit costs them money to process while ACH/physical money does not.

          Really? I’ve seen literally thousands, of cash only businesses lol.

          I’ve never seen anything like a debit card only or whatever, but cash only businesses are fucking everywhere my dude.

            Wild. Maybe it’s a regional thing, but I’ve only been to one or two places in the last many years where I had to use my card instead of Apple Pay.

            Cash is strictly for drugs.

        not really. it’s that credit cards usually cost a lot more per transaction in fees to the merchant.

        People, or businesses?

        For the rare business where it’s (unfortunately) standard practice e.g. gyms, I just setup a new (free) checking account with my existing bank.

        Other than those rare, and “standarized” cases, they’d have to be critical to my ability to keep breathing for me to even consider using a check, or another payment method linked directly to bank, including a debit transaction that requires my PIN, or ever using my debit card online.

      I’d look through the fine print if it says that they won’t serve ads. Cause I doubt that.

          I’d try to get a refund first unless you never plan to shop on Amazon again.

            I meant it as a counterpoint, not something I’d actually do. Especially considering I don’t shop in such places in the first place. But yes, you’re obviously correct.
