Are the account numbers from Samsung financing the same as TD banks? I'm trying to enroll on myonlineaccount.net but it seems I get "We cannot verify the information entered. Please try again.". Source: over 1 year ago

Hey so I recently got approved for Samsung Financing back in August and the first minimum payment is due today on October 3rd. I paid in advance on October 1st on myonlineaccount.net and it said it was pending. I checked my banking account today and TD Bank/ Samsung hasn't taken the payment out yet. I checked back on myonlineaccount and it says that the payment was submitted. I called TD Bank's customer service... Source: over 1 year ago

I did my due diligence of trying my best to resolve this issue. I called the numbers on their website (myonlineaccount.net) and they are purely automated with no way to talk to a real person. Their get-help-logging-in automation on the phone just says it can be done online. Source: over 2 years ago

Flattr was a kind of a version of that (although billed as "donations"), and it recently shut down. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

There was https://flattr.com/ and, more recently, https://twitter.com/coil But, yes, a complete chicken-and-egg problem. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I think Flattr does exactly this https://flattr.com/ but it looks like they may have changed their business model recently. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

This kind of looks like https://flattr.com/ but specifically for dev/dependencies. Not sure I like that there's "only" a two-month limit in which funds can be claimed, though. Some developers could be very busy or get caught up with other stuff and not hear about their accumulated funds before the "expire". Some might also think it's a phishing scam if they haven't heard of StackAid before. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I think this is one of the problems flattr tries to solve. Instead of multiple micro transactions you make one larger transaction each month to flattr, who then divides it up to all the creators you want to support. I don't know how Patreon does it, if they make one charge for each creator you support I guess the transactions fees can become a large part of the total amount. https://flattr.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
