Extra Gametime on Subscription

[themat]

This seemed like the most obvious place to post this, and it probably wont be much use to any of you but for those of you who use a card and have a subscription for your Main accounts. I noticed today that if you set up a monthly recurring subscription and during the month period whilst your account is active, if your bank card gets cancelled(for example you lose it) and another gets sent through the auto subscription will spend 2-3 days trying to top up the account with the original card number, but it still leaves your account active.

It may seem confusing as a wall of text so heres it broken down:

1. Set up a pay monthly subscription on your account using your bank card.
2. During this period once the payment has cleared cancel your card and say you've lost it.
3. Get your new card through the post and carry on with your life.
4. When your month is up the auto subscription will spend 2-3 days trying to resubscribe your account with the original card you used, which no longer works as it is cancelled.
5. Your account is still active during this period.

This isn't really an exploit or a scam, merely an observation from what has happend to me this week. I just thought i'd post it on here to show you what had happened.

Edit - Yeh im EU btw

I believe something like this has been observed before, however it obviously wouldn't be very efficient...

[themat]

Nope, just thought it'd be worth mentioning, its definitely not worth the effort.

I think blizzard completely meant to let your account run couple of days more due to the fact maybe that you're from Europe and they think bank transactions are a bit different than in the U.S. or maybe, just maybe, they're being nice due to the fact that World economy is not that great lol I'm not sure but it could be their end-side as well... many reason but I had my account set up on auto-renew basis and I never had extra time when I pulled off my card from my account, grats to you!!

Blizzard grands a 1-3 day "Grace Period" with payments on credit cards. It has happened to me before...

[hellshunter]

Yeah but you will risk a big chance on a ban.

[MasterGold]

This is intended

Just wondering but some of you say they grant extra game play because you removed your credit card from their payment system, WOW!!!... LOL...THIS IS FUNNY NEVER HEARD SUCH BS.

If this is true, Can you prove it generating Blizzard statement saying they grant extra time? otherwise do not come around saying it works if you can't back it up
