my membership didnt auto renew this month on the 24th cause im waiting to do it on the 1st, i bought a bond for the mean time but my membership wont expire. i have the email saying payment failed on the 24th. is there something i should do or enjoy the free membership?
i dont wana look like im abusing this bug but not gonna lie this is nice
Sometimes if the payment fails, it'll still add membership because there is a certain amount of time that the bank has to approve or deny the request, it sits as "pending", and in these situations a back-charge would be needed. Meaning they will charge you for the days you had membership or the account might be locked. I would definitely make sure you create a support
ticket here
. If you create a support ticket and inform them of what happened, I don't think anything bad would happen.
Apologies, I was incorrect, as Malula said, it would seem your membership had 4 days left.
Jagex start trying to take the next payment
4 days before your membership actually expires
.
There is no bug. You are now on the last four days of your membership.
A message to say that the payment attempt failed on the 24th means you didn't cancel your existing membership arrangement.
You are
"waiting to do it on the 1st"
sounds like you have changed credit cards and cancelled your old card without cancelling the auto-renew with Jagex.
If you have redeemed a Bond for 14 days membership, then you set up a new subscription on the 1st, you probably won't get another payment attempt on the old card.
I am sorry but the other answer you received is gobbledegook.

Payment advice needs to be very precisely correct, otherwise it is 100% wrong.
Don't ever guess payment advice.
The Payment Support forum was the last forum that JMods withdrew their regular support from. That was because there were so few players that could step up to replace them and provide accurate answers.
I estimate that there are only, maybe three players that know enough to provide answers on payment questions.
