For what it WAS worth, it was possible to load the original upload, but you had to resize your viewing window. Taking my browser down to a much smaller width forced it to load a version that did work.
It wasn't right, of course, but, for those of us desperate to read it NOW, it was a way.
@badspler Did you get a new card from your bank?
Our credit card processor actually can automatically update the card to the new one as long as the number didn't change, it gets the information from your bank directly I believe. So that's likely what happened.
There is no direct Google Pay payment option on the site. Google Pay is used as a way of adding a credit card to the site without having to type it in. It is not a traditional contactless payment method.
That is why it defaults to your CC. The $1 charge is just a hold charge that will drop off in a few days.
If you are looking to subscribe to the membership your only option is CC. If you are only looking to buy coins and redeem them for specific books. You can purchase coins on the site with a CC. Or you can buy them on the app via in-app purchase. The price is the same.
@Rahul-Balaggan I didn't see this before I replied to your chat. It's fine, I still don't need a refund. I wasn't even aware of the SS when I bought it
