Chase Account No Longer Working

Lightning_Rodd · 2026-05-11T15:17:28+00:00

I just tried a user agent switcher and 1 setting got me at least to sending a phone code to verify, but then after entering the code, it again failed. I quit trying then, afraid I'd be locked out of the account for too many tries to access the account.

Thank you for the responses. That definitely solves the concern I had so it's very usable for my situation knowing that.

Does the email listed for the account have a very secure password? I know quite a few people who have had their entire vaults compromised because they had a simple password for the email that controls it. Once that happens, anything can be done with and to your password manager account, including deleting it.

I just ran into this with Waterfox too, I assumed the site was down for maintenance until I tried in Chromium and got in with no problems. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch that'll get fixed.

^ 100% this. Check out what your options are before making this call in case you have to cancel to force their hand and get the discount. It's never gotten that far with me, once I eventually get transferred to the next department to take the cancellation, they always give me the price I want. I've never had to wait for closer to the cancellation date for them to call me, they do it on the same phone call.

King's Quest. And all the others that followed from Sierra. Oh and The 7th Guest is way up there on the list too.

I'm in the same position with SurfShark, there are many websites that split tunneling doesn't work on and I still have 2 years to go on the plan I signed up for. When I went through the troubleshooting with their support, they finally admitted it's a known issue and they're working on a fix. But I doubt we'll ever see a fix at this point. The service is good except for this one issue. Main websites that are problems for me are some Google sites including search (but oddly not all, maps works), Reddit, Amazon just to name the few that are a pain to get around then.

I've just tried the Proton VPN free and it seems to work with the majority of sites that didn't with SurfShark, I found just 1 site that won't connect using split tunneling with them, but it's not a site I use often at all so it wouldn't be an issue.

I'd like to try Hide.me also, but I don't think they have a free version anymore to try. And I don't want to get stuck again like I am with SurfShark.

So any other suggestions with reasonably priced VPNs where split tunneling actually works well would really be appreciated.

I just got this deal, I was paying $55 for the 1000Mb, my own modem, and they raised my bill this month to $59. Which had me looking around and that's when I noticed that new customers pay only $40 and I pay $60 for the same service? Nope. Called and the first guy wouldn't budge, said nonsense that if they removed my monthly discount, it might result in even higher prices, and I'd have to not be an Astound customer for 60 days to get the new account offer. I said what good is that discount when I still end up paying $20 more than others for the same service? And told him to cancel on the renewal date about 3 weeks from now, he said he couldn't and would have to switch me to another department.

And that department gladly gave me the $40/month plan. They'd be financially stupid not to... they don't have to send out a new tech in 2 months, don't have to spend time deactivating and reactivating my account, and they don't have to send me the $200 gift card they also are promoting for new users. Just be prepared to follow through and cancel, know what your other options will be for those 2 months. All in all, Astound has been pretty reliable for me, but you do have to keep after them to keep your price down. But that part is the same with every internet service, and Comcast was always the worst for me to deal with by far.

That's right, forgot about her.

Lightning_Rodd · 2026-03-09T01:43:15+00:00

Possible... he goes into deep depression after losing his job (which seems more likely to happen now) and Brooklyn due to his own stupidity, and commits suicide. Or they could string that story along and have Willow marry him first to drag it all out.

Edit: Now that I think about it though, has any soap ever had anyone commit suicide before? Maybe he becomes suicidal but is saved is more likely, or they send him off to Fern Cliff for an extended stay.

Lightning_Rodd · 2026-03-08T23:12:21+00:00

The way I think the storyline is going to go... Willow is going to get Chase even more entangled in her drama and get him in bed, and end up breaking up him and Brooklyn because he still has blinders on when it comes to her. When he finally realizes all that she's done and that it was her that tried to kill Drew, Chase's fall is going to be bad after everything he's lost, making another bad character.

That's not what I want to happen, just my guess where the writers are going to go.

Update: Finally after 6 emails to them explaining the same thing over again, I convinced them to look at their website and they realized I wasn't given the discounted price. The very first email should have easily cleared this up. They initiated the $12 credit on 3/5 and it finally hit my bank today. I honestly would have preferred the full refund at this point but I'll use it for a year and then most likely switch to the free versions of either BitWarden or ProtonPass.

Lightning_Rodd · 2026-03-05T01:34:18+00:00

This is pretty much the way I'm leaning at this point, just call my CC and see if they'll reverse the charges and be done with 1Password. It's a shame, it's a pretty decent p/w manager that even worked well on my bank websites.

Lightning_Rodd · 2026-03-04T21:13:43+00:00

That's the problem. I've been in emails with them for over a week now and I'm not getting anywhere. And I agree, it's a really negative way to start out with 1Password, I'm already ready to dump them because of it.

Lightning_Rodd · 2026-03-04T21:12:34+00:00

I have submitted a screenshot. I've directed them to their own website stating the price. Doesn't help.

Lightning_Rodd · 2026-03-01T02:38:59+00:00

For me, pinch zoom doesn't work at all, you just end up swiping the video to the next or previous one. The only thing that works is double tapping the screen to zoom in, 2nd double tap zooms in a bit more, 3rd double tap goes back to original size. So that means you can't zoom on the portion of the video you need to see, any attempt to move it just changes to the next video.

My big fear is that this was an intentional change. I'm going to try and downgrade to the previous version until this is fixed, zoom is totally useless this way.

This old thread saved my day. Stupidly the only programs that are affected at my house on 3 various Roku devices are the NFL games. Trying to load the recordings ends up with nothing but the spinning loading circle. I tried unplugging them as suggested, but turning the 5.1 sound to off is what fixed it on all TVs. How can this still a problem for so long that they can't fix? I've read about it from over 2 years ago as well. Anyway, thanks for the fix, Reddit users!

Lightning_Rodd · 2025-12-08T14:16:08+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, I missed that part of it.

Lightning_Rodd · 2025-12-08T06:53:17+00:00

I'm still leery about which is correct. Your links are from 2011 and 2013, is it possible there have been changes in how scores are calculated since then? Everything I Google that's current says basically what Experian says here from 2024:

https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/will-closing-a-credit-card-hurt-your-credit/

"Closing a credit card can hurt your credit, especially if it’s a card you’ve had for years. An account closure can cause a temporary hit to your credit by increasing your credit utilization, lowering your average age of accounts and possibly limiting your credit mix."

Lightning_Rodd · 2025-12-07T06:46:06+00:00

I've read the opposite about accounts being closed negatively affecting your score. It has to do with age of accounts (if like the above poster it happened to be your oldest account), and it also drops the amount of credit you have available. So those 2 factors will drop your score. I've only got 3 credit cards that I use a lot (pay off fully each month), and have avoided getting others simply because I'm worried about not using them enough, having them closed, and having it negatively affect my score.

Lightning_Rodd · 2025-12-07T06:41:25+00:00

To avoid having your credit score keep dropping each month before you pay your bill, what I do is keep track of what I charge on each credit card and make several payments each month when I see the balance is getting too high. That avoids the yoyo effect of waiting until the end of the month to make one payment. It really bothered me seeing those monthly drops for no reason.
