The title says it all. Every month, EA gives me the shaft and double bills me for sim points. Oh, they give me the points but I am paying for 2 sets when I only wanted one.

You ask do I hit the "submit" button twice? NO! Once is enough. :evil:
You ask if I refreshed during the transaction? NO! That's how they got me the first time. :evil:
You ask if I did the on line chat? Of course I did. In fact, I "chatted" with them 3 days in a row, when the charged me twice for the $80 bundle. Fat lot of good that did me. I didn't get my money back. They waited me out. (*insert nasty names*) :evil:
How long has this been going on, you ask? Since March, at least that's when I noticed it. (Boneheads! EA, not y'all) :roll:
Have I tried speaking with Customer Service? Of course. The onion is that EA Customer Service is a myth, an urban legend, if you will. In other words, THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! They just keep taking my money and blowing me off. (*insert the plural form of a bad word that start with "f") :twisted:
I guess it's not enough that I've bought every game from the original Sims series down to TS3. Yes, people, I have spent a small fortune on games and store items from 3, count them, 3 forums. Frankly, I feel like I'm chasing good money after bad. :roll:
Yon boneheads can't seem to make an effing patch to fix the game but they sure can figure out how to pilfer my hard earned money. At this point, I believe EA has the "klepto" trait. :x

You want to know how this benefits you? I've decided to do a little gifting. If you have something on your wl for 75 simpoints or less, this is for you.
It's just this easy......

1. Begin your post with "I feel your pain, ErnesaT." The post something you don't like about the game
2. Post a link to your WL and state what you want 75 points or less. Be sure to tell me the number on the wl.
3. You can also nominate/link two friends. If that person has been nominated/linked already, choose someone else. I'm only gifting one person.
4. This lottery closes when I reach (notice I said "reach" not run out of) my designated sim points limit.
Edit: Took out time limit on #4 and added simpoint limit.

That's right. It can be glitches, something your sim is doing that is cheesing you off, etc. It can be anything.
No gifting necessary. *hugs*
That is just horrible (I had thought something else but got up to let the cat out--the only one we let out and he has no claws and forgot what I was going to say been a looong day :P LOL) That is really just not right. I so hope they fix it soon.
Oh and your Civil disobedience cat made me chuckle
*extra extra extra hugs*

PS: Something that is annoying me terribly about the site is this...the simpoints from advertising only show up for a short time around midnight...don't see them any other time. And CYS is great and all but wish they would fix my sets so I can get the ones for free
That's not how it works, my darling.
My house, my rules. You've been gifted. 8)
I'd like to nominate
shadowcat85 http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=shadowcat85 There is a nice teenage jacket on the wl called "Break Your Dark Heart Teen"
and enter myself. From 75 points I'd like to get "Crafty Patches"
http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=Loppie1988
GIFTED!!!
I would like to nominate myself.
http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=Dasheeeee
I would like Little Tyke Dresser.(75simspts.)
PS I stole civil disobedience cat for future use.
ETA: Made my statement a bit clearer.
You're welcome.
GIFTED!!!
Hello
Ah man...Thank you that was truly sweet. I just felt bad that you are being overcharge. And I couldn't help but respond when I saw the Civil kitty
again thank you.
chari
GIFTED !!!
I love Civil Disobedience Cat. My bf keeps laughing when he sees it. :P
Thank you !!
Here is my Wishlist: http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=DEVIANTUNICORN
I'd like #35, the Jackie Open-Back Dress. Please and thank you!
Something that annoys me is also what Loppie mentioned, the free simpoints only being available in the US and Canada. It was the same thing with the Dr Pepper stuff too. If they sell the sims here why can't we have the same deal? They also sell Dr Pepper, it wouldn't have been hard to add codes to those bottles.
Seems people outside the US get forgotten about when it comes to deals and special offers.
Can I nominate mashellestevens for number 2 on her WL
And myself :oops: (v close to CYS on this set-at least that's one deal I don't miss out on
Thanks a mill for hosting.
I know the feeling. It's a little slow when I play on my laptop. I don't have anything else on there but the sims.
GIFTED!!!
I left the game for awhile (hey Sims 2 is GOOD!) and came back and now my married sims are getting love letters and gifts! MARRIED, if I want them to cheat, I'd give them the flirty trait and make them cheat. I'm sad that EA has taken the game in this direction. I realize they want to keep the game stirred up, but then why have marriage if everyone is going to act like they're single?
I would like to invite you to join my lotto...HERE...
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/707676.page
...and nominate my friend Simcousin
http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=Simcousin and I would love to see her get whatever tickles your fancy on her wishlist!
Send me a friend request for Simport
That is very unfair. I would think these promotions would be extended to everyone because we all spent money on this game.
GIFTED!!!
I wish EA would just admit that they will never be able to fix TS3 issues for people who play on a Mac. They made some bad calls by running the game through an emulator and I wish they would just gift Mac players Simpoints or something for their troubles. You never see SimGurus on the Mac forum because there is nothing they can do or say other than "We screwed up." I wish they would own up to it though. I finally had to create a Windows partition on my Mac just to be able to play the games I had already paid for.
I would like to nominate the following Simmers!:
Annadenise: Cherries on Top #13
http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=Annadenise
Katieeee: Wave of Light #1
http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=Katieeee
Nesa, love the cats you posted! They have all been recruited into The Cat Brigade!
Thank you for being so generous in spite of such an annoyance and outright swindle. *HUGS*
The phone and live chat are both totally ineffective. :? I think they've all gone over to TS4 and let us hang to dry.
GIFTED!!!
Thanks so much for letting me take advantage of your misfortune!
Awkward smiley for an awkwardly satisfying gift. Spacehog, however...

I feel like spacehog needs to be a meme too. Hopefully it will make you laugh, ErnesaT! Thanks again for the gift!
Funny you should mention having a Mac. When my PC died, my bf was going to load the games on the Mac but I told him we could either play on my laptop or buy another pc for the living room but there was no way we were playing on the Mac. It has too many issues.
GIFTED!!!
