Rectify Your Wrongs
I wasn't considering Netflix until recently, was going to make my own account so my mother didn't have to pay anymore. Was going to let her use mine instead of the other way around, and I figured I might as well get credit on Gaia as well if I was going to have a monthly subscription. Ugh how infuriating, glad you told me about this anyways. I don't know about Trialpay's credibility, I haven't been doing business with them for too long. However, I know when gaia had different providers I wasn't barred nearly as much when it came to doing other offers and purchases. Gaia is ever evolving, so I can only pray it doesn't last too much longer
I only returned from an extremely long hiatus a few months ago, so I only experienced the old system for a few weeks before the experiment with TrialPay began. However, I've been using TrialPay very frequently since the start, and I personally like it much better despite its faults. So you did paid offers under the old system? Did you have any issues, either security- or crediting-related, with them?
As for Netflix, if you were going to sign up anyway, you might as well do it through an offer, in case it does work without a hitch. I was just saying that you shouldn't do the free trial just for the GC.
I always used Paypal, because I don't trust external sites to handle my banking information!
emotion_yatta I only ordered small things, so no, I never had a problem that wasn't fixed by Gaia immediately. I mean, I did have a few pay out problems related to GAIA not giving me credit, but shipping and the products wise always arrived when they were due.
Good to know, thanks! Not all of the shopping sites (especially the local deals) I've used on TrialPay worked with PayPal, but I can't remember what the relative proportions are... I haven't run into a situation where I was uncomfortable with entering my card information to make a purchase, though.
I just don't throw my information out there, at least I know Paypal is a solid foundation, and I have someone to sue if s**t out of my bank account goes "Randomly" missing without my approval

I don't think any online transaction sites I've seen (besides Amazon and PayPal
razz ) ask for your actual BANK information (as in your account number, etc.), so the only way that money can be misappropriated is through your credit/debit cards. And there you can contest charges you don't recognize with the credit card company or your bank, in the case of a debit card. I've never had to do this myself, but I've heard that credit card companies especially are very helpful because they don't want to lose your business.
Personally, I've adopted a more sanguine attitude. If even commercial giants like Sony can get hacked, it's only a matter of time before anything, even Amazon or PayPal, experiences a security breach because hackers only have to find one vulnerability (whether technological or human error-related). And then I always keep hearing about how criminals are modifying ATMs and other card-swipe locations to capture your information, crime rings where employees of physical stores steal your information when you go through checkout, people being able to intercept information sent over your encrypted WiFi network, the list goes on... So I figure it's going to happen at some point no matter what I do, and there's no point in having that risk dictate my actions. I take reasonable precautions in avoiding anything that's sketchy-looking or gives me a bad feeling, and just don't bother worrying about it with reputable websites. *shrug*
