Comments on: keep the change http://wank.wordpress.com/2006/12/30/keep-the-change/ apparently there are 34 better blogs about wordpress than this. you should probably go and read one of them instead.

OK, I want you to imagine this scenario: livejournal says they’re having a sale on paid accounts so they cost $10. When you get to the checkout they have this shady ‘credits’ system that lets you purchase $15 units only. So you buy the credits and — get this — they tell you they’re not giving you the extra $5 back because they ‘don’t do refunds’. That’s what stealing your money looks like. LJ know perfectly well they couldn’t get away with that kind of manoeuvre. Unfortunately, wordpress.com can.

If you were one of my mares or fillies you would be a difficult training prospect but once trained you'd be one hell of a ride that I would sincerely regret sending back to their owners. *lol* No offense intended BTW because I love equines and not surprisingly the most difficult ones to train have an internal system counting system that records every fluff up and wrong call a trainer makes. In fact, I had to give up training young horses because I could not run the risk of suffered any more head injuries like the one that resulted in my vision problem. And "yes" I always wore a helmet. I'll be eagerly awaiting news of receipt of your apology and the recompense arrangements. Because until the matter is set right for "lead mares" such as you there will be no peace in the wp herd. *chuckle* ;) You’re a hard woman to wrangle with, wank, for sure for sure.

I have told them a) I want an explanation why Automattic can't PayPal me $5 and delete the extra credits, b) if they think I'm giving them any more money again ever they're dreaming, c) not to think about introducing any more paid upgrades until they can take these things a bit more seriously and d) not to let Matt announce any more new 'features' when he's been at the eggnog. ;) They won’t give me the cash, while insisting that it was a genuine oversight rather than an attempt to con people and fobbing me off with ‘put it towards another upgrade’ and ‘give the credits to someone else’.

What's better for their customers doesn't seem to enter into it. Mainly I'm annoyed at being promised a 33% discount that doesn't actually exist. I think I'm going to buy it anyway then send my feedback asking for change :) Ah, but PayPal’s quicker and easier from their end, as is only allowing you to buy a set amount of credits.
