Automation is not always a good thing
Fortunately this one didn’t cost me money. But if I don’t fly on Airtran within a year I will lose the credit. All I was doing was checking the process for redeeming points off a survey site. I didn’t actually finish the transaction. But I just got an email apologizing that the system goofed and expired the time before I even got the credit. And I will have my credit by April 30.
A few months ago I was checking how autoship works on a site. Lo and behold a week later I got notice that my credit card was over limit. Well, I”m trying to pay that card down so I don’t use it. It was an autoship pmt for a product. I never completed the transaction, so why did it automatically charge me on a card I have only used once on that site years ago. I immediately called and told them cancel the autoship.
I”m working on a website. It’s trying to automate things I don’t want it too. It won’t let me put as many spaces in as I want without going thru hoops.
I hate working with Word 2007 it automates things and won’t let me put spacing in that I want without a lot of trouble.
Everything in life cannot be automated. At some point we have to be able to modify things, check on things without somelthing automatically happening.
Be careful. Never close out a site with something in the shopping cart. Make sure it’s empty. Don’t just assume closing the window or logging out will empty the cart. It doesn’t always, especially in this day and age when everyone is hurting.
