→ A favor: Many of you who signed up for annual subscriptions when I launched my Substack in May 2024 are starting to get notices about automatic renewals. Yes, they are automatic.
Please do not dispute the charge. Although I hope you won’t cancel, it’s easy to do through Substack, or by emailing me, for a refund. Disputes should be reserved for fraudulent charges. I am charged $15 every time this happens, no matter the outcome. Six people have done this in the last year, and half of those were for $5 charges. Maybe they didn’t want to hurt my feelings, but I see their names and email addresses either way.
Also, watch for emails saying, “Your payment for Comings & Goings was unsuccessful.” That’s typically an expired card. If you’re seeing a paywall and you’ve paid for a subscription, this could be the culprit. Always, if you have any trouble, send me an email. Thanks so much for your support!
