    What I find kinda weird, is how this happened. Like I understand that the withdrawal requests weren't processing, and then were all processed in the batch, but you'd think after the first went through and the AP account was empty, any other requests would just return an error and say "insufficient funds". It seems weird that they all went through. Does it mean that prior to that, someone could have tried to withdraw more than what they had available and it would work? It seems weird (for someone without any programming experience) how everything was processed.

    I only had like 8 or 9 days without pay fortunately. And of course the 10 bucks can only be spent on Amazon!

    Isn't there a gift card exchange subreddit specifically for this type of situation?

    I've done something like that before and got rejected for being "screened out". For me, if it feels like I got screened out, I don't submit. Maybe wait a few and see if anyone else submitted and/or their times as well.

    Yes but I'm hesitant to start with all this.

    And for the time being, I don't really lose out on what I want to buy (sure, I can't pay my bills with that money, but I wanted to turk to upgrade my PC, so doesn't matter right now).

    For what it's worth, this absolutely REEKS of a programming error. They probably spent most of Friday reverting their code, the weekend auditing everything, and today talking to the banks to see if it was worth the effort to reverse the transactions. Now that they've decided that it's not, they're probably trying to figure out the next step of what to do with the balances. :emoji_wink:

    Not that I have any insider info but...

    Kinda felt like the withdrawal processing thing was broke so it failed there but there was a bug where the bit that took it out of the pending transfer queue never ran, so it still looked like it was sitting there ready to rock for the next batch. So it never got deducted from your account, money didn't make it to your bank because it was broke. All was good...aaaaand then they fixed the batch processor and it cranked through the queue. Pew pew pew pew money everywhere. Then it deducted it from your account like a good little program.
