WARNING : Is everyone getting billed at the double rate of 29.90 per month !?

CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD!
==================
 
in 2001 the price per month got cut in half to $14.95 per month, paid in advance. No longer that price, and now double?

Now I WAS BILLED DOUBLE on Nov 22 than I was on Oct 22 2020.

It was $14.95 on Oct 22 2020 credit card as always, but jumped to new $29.90 via a charge on 11/22

PRICE DOUBLED for Aces High? How many here are suddenly being billed at double the rate? ($30 a month instead of $14.95 per month)?

This link says they can charge people any price, if they claim they send you an email, but I got no emails:

https://www.hitechcreations.com/company-info/support-policies/billing

> 3. Billing/Pricing Changes - HiTech Creations reserves the right to change its rates and prices at any time, effective upon a 30-day written or electronic notice to current HiTech Creations members.

The price dropped in half in 2001, and now 20 years later, HiTech is doubling it back?

It would not be such a big issue if when you cancel you get our remaining time, but I think if you cancel you lose the 30 dollars immediately. The written terms on site still claim most people only pay $14.95 still.

CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD for Nov 2020 bill cycle

The game is amazing and is worth every cent at $15 a month, but for very casual players like me who go a couple months between logins, its not worth $30 a month for me as a casual player.

Have you talked to HTC to determine if it was a mistake?

Doubt it.



OP, you should check with HTC first before going on a crusade.  FYI: I checked, and so far this whole year, I've been charged normally.  No "double taps".

KillyJim,

I think can have confidence in HitechCreations billing practices.  I just double-checked my credit card statements; my billing date is the 10th, and I went back 3 months - Dec, Nov, and Oct - all the HitechCreations billings were the correct amount of $14.95.   I have come and gone from this game several times since 2000, and I have never had a problem with billing.

I think a call to your credit card company would be a good first step - it may have been a problem on their end.   A customer service rep should be able to identify it is a recurring monthly billing for a single amount, and offer some insight as to what happened.

Its a charge to a major visa card in a total single sum of $29.90, not two charges. Its obviously spurious and affecting me, and perhaps affecting others here if their bill date is the 22nd of the month.

Visa cant split or alter a charge, only deny it in full, a 90 day process back and forth. And I dont want to get visa involved for something clearly on the end of HiTech.

Ill update when I get email reply.

I pay for 2 accounts, mine and my grandson's. Both are correct, $14.95. Call Hitech, he'll fix it, if it's his problem. :cheers:

Same here.  No double charge.  Call and/or email and this will get straightened out.

On a side note, a few years ago when I was paying for two accounts, mine and my brother's, it was a single bill of 29.90.  I'm going to bet you signed up for another account and forgot about it, or didn't realize it at the time.

You can also PM Hitech on this BB in case he didn't get your email. If you don't hear anything on Monday call the office.

After over 20 years here I can't believe Hitech would ever scam anybody. He's not that guy.

Its all Good Now! Resolved

HiTech credited my account internally, and then some. Thanks HiTech.

November issue was caused by a status tricking HiTech for October making them think October did not post.

Its probably not widespread unless it affects that specific date (Oct 22).

All good!

One wonders what this ‘status’ was and how it was so confusing to be-fuddle Mr. Addink.
I just checked my credit card and I have not been billed this year.  :headscratch:
He has to make up for that somehow. :aok
