June boxes will be shipping out soon! We can't wait to see what you think. Can you guess the theme? HINT HINT.

*Click on hint!

Getting away? Like they seem to be getting away with some suspicious activity? I know...total dork moment, but I couldn't resist!

Despite all the problems, we've already paid for June and I'm stoked to get my box! I hope it's not a lot of SPF. Clearly it's Summer or beach themed.

Despite all the issues, I paid for this box and am excited to receive it. After this month, I will be switching to a prepaid card for all subs.

My Amex prepaid card is on the way. It will be ONLY for subs so if it had fraudulent activity it will be easy to pinpoint.

I have already signed up for my Serve by AmEx card and it's on it's way. As soon as I get it, that card is handling all of my monthly subs. (not like I have a lot, I'll probably only use it for GlossyBox and MyGlam since they're the two most problematic in the past 6 mos.)

I try to keep all of my subs, makeup purchases, and other fun stuff like movies on my PayPal debit card.  I know immediately when a transaction happens (I have it set up so I get email whenever it's use), and it helps keep my spending under control because it simply stops working when I run out of money.  The catch is that you do have to make sure you have the funds in there when you want to use it (you *can* link it to your bank account or another credit card, but I have specifically not done so), but it prevented a charge from going through earlier this week for a sub I thought I had another week to cancel.  I only see one charge for GB on there this month, but I do see an authorization, a hold (for PayPal review), and a release, so they may be filtering out multiple charges and deny them before I even see them.  And I don't see any unauthorized attempted transactions.  

Does anyone happen to know what credit card processing company they use?  I can't figure out how to tell.  There was a a huge credit card breach earlier this year involving a major credit card processing company, and they're *still* finding out what the hackers got.  I would not be one bit surprised to find out that this (either this specific breach or an as-yet-unreported one) is the problem.  I would also not be one bit surprised if they are not saying anything because their lawyers are directing them to not say anything until they figure out what is going on.  If they acknowledge fault to their customers, that may hurt any claim they would have against the CC company.  They may also be in oh-crap-we-need-to-figure-out-what-is-going-on-before-we-say-anything mode.

I totally forgot about my PayPal debit card! I already have one of those.

Great info!

Those who use prepaid CCs is there one in particular that you recommend. I noticed some have monthly fees. I would like to avoid that if possible.
Serve by American Express doesnt charge a dime.

thanks for the tip! I just signed up for one 

 I wont be making any online purchases/payments with my debit card anymore.

How does one sign up for this? I was a victim of the GlossyBox cc breach. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You can get a prepaid debit through PayPal or check with your bank about a small secured cc. Google for prepaid cards. I think most major banks or cc companies offer such options.

Even Walmart has prepaid debit cards, you can get one at the service desk. I dislike Walmart, but I have one of these cards just for things like this!

Glossybox is liable to clients. I am wondering if they even have lawyers. Whether or not they have a claim against the processor (which I doubt since claims have to have damages) Glossybox has a duty to inform its customers of a security breach. We contract with them, not their processor. I cannot a fathom a decent lawyer would be informing them to stay silent. they don't limit their ability to take action against the processor by informing clients. What they do is they set themselves up for litigation themselves.

Just to let you know, alot of ppcc's charge a monthly fee or $1 per transaction. Serve by Amex is totally free, even to transfer funds.
