Patreon Payment Glitch
Added 2018-08-02 16:21:47 +0000 UTCHeyo! So last night Patreon Support on Twitter posted that they were having problems.
"Patreon is under maintenance while we investigate connectivity issues. Thank you for your patience as our team works to resolve."
I woke up this morning to a bunch of people freaking out online about it and turns out about 41 of my Patrons either had their payments "declined" or themselves falsely flagged as a "fraud"
As of right now Patreon hasn't said anything about this problem but it looks like it primarily affected folks who use a credit card as their method of payment. I've also heard it's triggering fraud alerts with some peoples banks!
Just wanted to keep you guys updated (since Patreon hasn't) and you may want to double check that you're still supporting your favorite creators and haven't been removed due to this bug. Also triple check with your bank for fraud alerts!
A lot of folks are shitting their pants right now since some creators are reporting up to a 50% drop in revenue this month so bear with everyone please and hopefully this will get sorted out soon!
