Blocked during international travel
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this or found a way around it.
I went to Spain to walk the Camino. Joined Match from Spain, giving my home address in New York. They happily took my money. Then, after about 3 days, I was blocked.
The explanation I got is that I was accessing the service from overseas when it is for US residents only. No problem joining or paying from overseas. But once I joined and paid, they shut the door.
I explained that I was on vacation and gave a date when I would be back. No dice. Asked for a refund for the period when I couldn't access the site. No dice. Tried a VPN. Didn't work, still blocked.
The people I was talking to are now going to think that I'm ghosting them.
Has anyone experienced this or found a way around it?
