I literally just tried to sign up for this as a gift for someone this past weekend.

I tried to buy a year gift subscription and got an error message. It showed me a silly error message which included Ryan Gosling promising a foot massage for me to keep my calm. I mistakingly tried 2 more times and now see 3 charges on my credit card.

For what it’s worth, they use Stripe. I saw the $1 pending transaction they tried. Hopefully Stripe can shut them down.




Did you file chargebacks?


I did this on Saturday and will give WhimseyBox the benefit of the doubt to fix this by Mon/Tues before disputing with Amex. It's always a slow road when Amex investigates.
