Didn't receive my yearly 100 gems due to a billing glitch and no help from EA

I have been with pogo for 15 years and am not feeling like a valued customer.

I did not receive my 100 gems recently for my renewal and their excuse is you only receive them if you have automatic renewal set up.

Due to a glitch in billing for some reason my account did not auto renew this year so now they just don't care. Like oh well too bad for you deal with it.

I seriously debated not renewing because of this crap but allowed it to renew anyway.

I recently contacted EA to no avail I received the usual do you still need help auto generated email so I replied that I still need help but again they replied give it several days and that was the last I heard from them. Look My family members is also renewed around the same time and hers immediately received the gems so this give it several days blow off is not acceptable.

Since I did not receive any help nor my gems I am forced to post here.

Also of interest is my gems transaction record page will not load just sits and thinks with a black screen.

I just searched on here how to close my pogo account and it seems as if there is no way to close it without closing my EA account and I don't want to do that because then I would probably lose the game I bought.

So yup go figure no help just take our money and ignore us.

Ridiculous.

    Hi @dcat14 

    If you have missing gems from your club pogo renewal you will need to speak with our support to further investigate your account. 

     

    How to use EA Help

     

    Cheers!

    I have been speaking with support but they refuse to credit the missing gems.

  • I had the same thing happen to me at the beginning of this year. I was told it was a billing glitch, even though I had checked more then a month earlier, several times, to make sure my newer credit card info had been updated.  Apparently that didn't matter, and I was told by the person I chatted with that it was "something that is beyond our limitation".

    So, in other words, they were not going to do anything about it, because they don't care about their paying members!  

  • Pogo has cone the same thing with me renewed on Nov9 2023 and no gems I had chatted 5 times with advisors and had 8 emails and never got the answer I was looking for. I feel pogo does not care about their players .All I wanted from them was an honest answer.

  • Well, it happened to me again this year too at the beginning of this month!  I got my email that stated "Javalvr2, Your Yearly Club Pogo Renewal Is Coming Up!" 

    They charged my charge card, but NO free month added, AND NO GEMS!

    More than 15 emails later, and being told that I was NOT a club member, which it shows that I AM in my Pogo & EA account.  There are still 9 cases opened, and being told to do live chat...been there, done that before, and you still get NO HELP!  They are all morons, don't know what they are doing, and can't put together a sentence that makes sense!

    I can't take the aggravation anymore that I've had for over the last 14 months with them!  You would think they would at least take care of their members that spend a lot of money, like I do, but they don't.   

    When I use up the gems I have, I will be cancelling my membership!  AND I WON'T be spending ANY MORE MONEY in the meantime.  I will put my entertainment dollars elsewhere!

    They need to lose BIG BUCKS & members before they do something about their HORRIBLE customer service, but there are apparently to many stupid people that will keep playing no matter how fed up they get with their "no help" customer service!

    I have not received the gems I paid for on Dec. 28th.  19..99 X 2  I have showed the bank statement 5 or 6 times showing I bought them, and all I here will have to talk to the team.  I have ordered the gems, paid for them and still you will not give them to me. How about giving my money back.   nilyn1958     nilynstark@gmail.com   How many more times do I have to contact you about this.
