Well, if I had thought the unsubscribed issue was an isolated incident, it wasn't. But, I did find out what was happening that was causing this phenomenon, a new banking system at my bank!
I was busy on Wednesday and didn't sign in to WA at all. Imagine my surprise yesterday morning when I tried to sign in and get on WA, I received the same message, "You are unsubscribed", and I was figuring it was no big deal. Boy, was I wrong!
I tried multiple credit cards with plenty of money on them and none of them worked, whether I was going through PayPal or just the credit card. I spent the entire day talking to PayPal and was told "nothing is wrong with your account and things should be going through." I wish that had been the case because I would have been on WA and not spending my entire day stressed out over what was going on with everything!
PayPal told me yesterday it was a problem with Wealthy Affiliate and gave me a customer service phone number to call. Need I say that it was of no help whatsever? I even waited till my husband came in from work late yesterday afternoon and used his cards, and once again, none of them would go through. I cannot recall ever having been so frustrated in my life and unable to find a reason for the problem. I went so far as to cancel my PayPal account!
I must say I did get two emails from Kyle and Carson so I guess they really do care if you unsubscribe, but I never did unsubscribe. I was so exhausted after the day's events I went to bed at 9:30 p.m. EST and when I woke up this morning I was in the exact same position and place as when I went to sleep! Every hair was in place, so I must have just passed out from sheer exhaustion!
This morning I activated a new credit card and tried it to "Resubscribe" to WA. It didn't work either! At this point I was mad enough to eat railroad spikes, at the very least! I had just signed back up to PayPal and I called them and asked them what their problem was. The young lady, Becka, I spoke with said it was not a PayPal problem, nor was it a WA problem. She said my bank had refused to send the payment through. Had nothing to do with lack of money or limits or anything.
I finally spoke to my bank manager and she checked on the problem and it is the new banking system my bank has went to and they will not process regular monthly payments, or any payments for that matter, that go out of the U.S.! Nice to know after the fact! The bank manager arranged for me to have 'an opening in the system' so I could pay my subscription a year in advance.
So, I am back and I guess it is true that the third time is charm, as it took three tries to get things straightened out. However, I signed in and my rank has went back up as a result of this stupid issue and instead of being ranked at 85, I am now at 253! Lovely! All because of a stupid banking system not allowing my payment to be sent out of the country! But, at least I am back at WA, I will be able to see the WAbinar this evening that Jay is doing Live and can get back to learning and enjoying myself in a wonderful place.
Just watch out if you suddenly find yourself Unsubscribed, check your bank and see if they too have changed banking systems! What a nightmare!
