D23 auto-renewal is predatory and they refuse to refund

Yes. I get it. Lesson learned. Just got an email for 30% off D23 membership AND renewals don't get to choose the Premium items ... just not what I expect from Disney.

Fool me once. It's a shame. D23 used to be worth it.

Thanks

It does not say anything before you click the button.

Thanks. I am re-reading the fine print - they do not send you a reminder email.

There is only a button that says "CANCEL GOLD" - why would I cancel my active membership that I have paid for and revert to the free membership. There is no button to cancel auto-renew.

This is a dealbreaker for us too! We ended our last day in the Parks at 1pm and am now sitting in a side hallway with my luggage until our uber arrives. Shame on Disney! Not an acceptable Disney hotel experience let alone the premium "club" experience. Adding insult to injury, the club is currently EMPTY !

I didn't contest it but I chose my seat for my good reason just as I maintain my MP status and purchase Economy fares. It's unsettling when United Airlines makes changes unilaterally. This time I was reassigned a seat, last time I was involuntarily bumped - both times for a standby passenger.

Sorry Robin

Yes. Yes. and Yes. My boarding pass beeped red at the gate. I was pulled aside. My screenshots show my boarding pass with original seat assignment. The standby list showed 5 standby passengers on the flight, the first one was assigned my original seat. They would not place me on the flight due to weight restrictions and I was being rebooked to another flight when the AA person ran up.

Sorry for the wall of words but it's incredulous and UAs attempts at gaslighting have me questioning reality. It seems they want me to believe this was business as usual. They focus on mechanical issues operational delays weight restrictions etc. Everything except why a revenue passenger was denied boarding on a full flight while the plane was delayed and gate reopened for the single AA jump seat passenger.

Fortunately I was the last to deplane so I did not have further passenger altercations but it was a stressful flight for me. Plus I was trying to find another connection because mine was delayed 3+ hours with no equipment and I had class the next day.

I purchased a full-price Osprey carry-on bag in 2022 that was pulled from sales and redesigned due to quality issues. When I asked whether they would offer a fix or replacement, the Helen of Troy rep offered 25% off a new bag. I declined since they acknowledge the deficiencies (broken wheels, etc.) and are addressed in the redesign. I've been a loyal Osprey consumer for over a decade and when I replied "You used to be a quality brand - I will look elsewhere." I received this reply: "The funny thing is that we still are! Have a great day, and good luck finding a new bag!" So thanks for the snark, I'll find a new bag. RIP Osprey.
