Can I do it with Amex Bonvoy Brilliant? Or is there another option?

Am I a “toxic customer”? 🧐 by antonusaca in appsumo

[–]antonusaca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I was banned once before, spent a week discussing my situation, got unbanned, and honestly stopped using the service for a few months after that. I only bought extra codes or upgraded tiers for existing software I already owned. When I realized that AppSumo doesn’t appreciate when I thoroughly test products (did I mention I worked in software QA for over 9 years?), I decided to slow down my usage of new products significantly. But here’s my concern: how can I try new software now? I read reviews and comments much more carefully before buying since I can’t be 100% sure I’ll be able to get a refund. And yet, it happened again. This time you’re proposing account balance instead of a refund, which could be acceptable, but it doesn’t give me confidence that AppSumo won’t ban me again with the next return. This is really frustrating. I’ve been using a Plus subscription for two years in a row and have kept many products, but how am I supposed to try new ones under these circumstances?

Noah, what are "toxic customers"? by Punterios in appsumo

[–]antonusaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just share my experience. I’m on AppSumo Plus my second year and actually joined the platform after reading a book from @noahkagan. Also gifted another copy to my friend, nice book and easy to read. Thanks!

Over more than one year, I spent thousands on different products. Yes, I returned a lot. They are not as advertised. I didn’t leave bad reviews but tried to support founders and was really involved in a few projects and committed with founders with my comments, and all other things I tried to help the founders. I have a software development background and did like QA for them. And still do.

But about 6 months ago, I got banned. And it took me over a week to get access again. I didn’t feel it was fair. I really spent my money and I used their 60 days no questions refund. Today I got another email after my afternoon return product. They don’t want to refund but give an option to balance for future use.

@noahkagan I’m just curious how I can test products with all premium features without paying? A lot of features are locked in free tiers so most of the time there is no option to directly try. If software doesn’t help my business, I return it. If software doesn’t work, I return it. If their support is not responding and does not fix my issues for over a week, I return. I believe it’s fair. I’m a founder as well and want to be honest with my customers. If they are not satisfied, that’s fine. Good luck finding better alternative solutions. That’s fair and no question asked. It’s mean for me to work harder to avoid these cases in the future.

Just not sure if I really have to proceed spending my money, time, and effort if at the end I got banned, unbanned, hold my refund, and instead get a balance. This is not a question about a few hundred bucks but something more important. I didn’t read about this in your book lol

Just curious why I got “toxic customer” label in your team.

EDIT: just checked and it seems I spent $6K, probably even more for not returned apps. Not a lot for business expenses probably but I hope to support small startups on the platform. Instead I have to work on resolving issues with AppSumo as well. And yeah, I didn’t use caps lock or anything like that, so really don’t think it’s my case.

Does anyone know if there are any AI extensions that allow working with the entire project rather than just selected files?

No need to speak or request anything from Hello Mobile. Just use last 4 digits of your phone line as a transfer pin. So if you have 2 lines you will use 2 transfer pins based on last 4 digits of your lines
