Hello,

I would like to ask a few questions about upcoming courses (so excited!).

1. I'm not sure if I get the launch details right. From what I understand both OD and DA launch on the same day and will be available for only 4 days, right? But what about future DA modules - will those be available for purchase only for the guys who buy OD during its first launch?

2. If so, how will the payment for those future modules work? Will there be similar timeframe for payments (4 days) or once they're published, will you be able to buy them any time* you gather enough cash? (*provided that you will have already bought OD during the upcoming sale period)

3. The most important question for me - what payment options will be available? Will PaySafeCard be an option?

4. The second most important question (specific for my registration case) - I've registered with my GC-related email, not my main one (so with my GC nickname/login instead of real name; clarification below). Is that important? Should I register once more with my real email? Or should I just send my data to someone on the GC team (Chase?)? What I'm worried about is this - I'm not sure if my payment will be obvious if someone not being Jaimie Richards is paying for Jaimie Richards - and I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble ;)

/ Short clarification for Q4: I subscribed for my GC-related email, but I was not asked about my name, so I guess that in the database the only visible thing will be my email adress with no name/nickname. If that's important, I've received the confirmation email and already got first mail signed by Chase. /

5. Will the course files be available for download? It'd be cool to be able to study them anywhere, anytime and not only via the dedicated site.

6. Will the course be immediately available after the payment? Context: if I pay once the sale starts on Thursday, will I be able to start studying the material once the money transfer is acknowledged? If so, how long should it take to acknowledge the payment - or, to put it slightly different, how long will I have to wait between payment and studying?

7. One last question - is there a chance to get previous newsletters connected with the course? I registered yesterday, because first I wanted to be sure I'd gather enough funds for the thing (even if, given its modular nature, the course may not be that expensive for people in the US, in Eastern Europe situation is very different). It'd be cool to not lose fun stuff - and if such options exists, the upside is that there's no hurry at all, I'd gladly wait.

Thanks for taking your time and reading all these notes.

P.S. As a sidenote, I'm still intending to finish my previous posts from autumn 2017, but so much is happening right now (and often good stuff, too!). I've originally wanted to finish that before posting questions, but given ever smaller time window before launch, I figured it's best to just ask first - and do other stuff later.
P.P.S. I've decided to underline two questions that are most important for me, so they're more visible in the whole post.

Jaimie-

Let me hook you up with some answers...!

1 & 2 - right, One Date & TDA availability is February 22nd through 25th. When you get One Date, you also get the first module of TDA. TDA Module 2 then rebills after 14 days... Module 3 is a month after that... Module 4 a month after that... and so on. You will not have to repurchase or wait for any additional launch windows after that; just the one purchase date.

3 - haven't heard of PaySafeCard; just looked it up. It won't work with our card processor, unfortunately... we're looking into getting other payment processors set up a little later on down the line. Won't have in time for the launch though.

4 - I don't think you should have an issue with it... it's a little weird when card names don't match emails, but we aren't frauding these out at present (we have some other fraud prevention measures in place). We still get guys signing up with mismatched emails and names. Occasionally it's fraud but usually it's legit - cases like yours. So we don't tend to block those transactions.

5 - the PDFs are simple to download, since they open up in a separate tab... can just save directly from there. Videos are embedded, but you can download these with a browser extension like Flash Video Downloader.

6 - yes, as soon as you make payment you're logged into the course (well, you'll see a short video for the King of College soft launch first, then you're in).

7 - did you mean the newsletters that go out to the One Date launch list? Or the general Girls Chase Newsletter? The One Date launch list newsletters has all the best newsletters in its auto-responder, so you'll recieve these in a sequence after signup. The only emails we're broadcasting and not including in the auto-responder for now are mostly shorter ones, just "this video is out now - check it out" notices. So you should be able to get all the meaty One Date emails in sequence once you're signed up to that email list.

Hope that helps!

And now, back to last minute preparations / launch insanity for me... :/

Hey Chase,

Huge thanks for the immediate answers!

1&2 - So if I understand it right: the future TDA modules should start going online on the 8th of March (TDA vol. 2), 8th of April (TDA vol. 3) etc. Also, they won't be time-windowed the same way as One Date, so if I want to buy TDA vol. 2 in, let's say, April or May, there won't be any problems, right? (Of course provided that I buy One Date between 22nd and 25th of February.)

3 - If PaySafeCard won't be an option, what other payment options will be available? The reason I'm asking is that I've never done an international transaction (other than straightforward, easy Steam purchases via PaySafeCard once in a blue moon) and the time window is tiny (given the fact that two of those days are weekend days) - so I'd rather ask for help and some walkthrough in advance. Doubly so, if I need to set up some 'infrastructure' - I have a bank account and an ATM card (not credit one), but given that I have never done such a transaction I don't know what to expect or if I should get something (like a PaySafeCard coupon or a credit card). I would very much appreciate some tips on the steps I'm going to have to take to buy the package. (I would post such a question on Quora or search via Google, but I'd rather know in advance what I'm looking for - if I get to know how to use some other payment method which won't be available, it won't do any good to any of us.)

4 - Glad to hear that, I'd rather stick with my GC-related account for GC-related stuff.

7 - I meant the One-Date-one you have provided (the link with a girl brushing her hair, a timer counting time till launch and a space for email address). I only got 2 emails - first one: confirmation, second one entitled "Next Stop: The One Date That GETS Her". (Then again, it's not a pressing matter, but if there's a glitch in autoresponder, it's good that you know about it.)

Thanks again and fingers crossed. Good karma flowing right to you and the rest of the crew! :)

Hey Jaimie-

On these:

1/2 - right, TDA Module 2 will charge & release on March 8th (if you complete your order on February 22nd), and then it's the 8th of each month after that. The system charges your card automatically when it's time for the next module to drop... if you're using a prepaid card and the amount is on there (due to finances or whatever), it'll try again a few times and drop the the subscription after that. We have it set so that if that happens, you *should* be able to resume later... haven't tested this yet, but the functionality is there in the software.

3 - we can accept Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, and Discover right now. We're trying to roll with PayPal too, but our PayPal grew glitchy toward the end of January and we had to shut it off on the main site, so it's 50/50 whether we have it on or not (probably more like 30/70 for/against, actually). Visa or MasterCard prepaid cards seem to be pretty popular with program buyers outside the West, from what we've seen among buyers of other GC programs/membership. I'd expect if you're trying to get an international card that works, those are probably the fastest cards to get set up with (could also apply for a standard Visa/MC, but those usually take a while to mail out, at least in the States).

7 - right, got you. the One Date auto-responder is set to mail one email in its queue to you per day, so it isn't flooding you with a backlog of emails ;) You should have most of them (including the "How Soon Does She Know?" PDF, I believe... think that's Day 3 or 4 of the auto-responder) by launch day.

Thank you for the good karmic wishes, it is appreciated!

Chase

Hey Chase,

1/2 - Fantastic. I'll do my best to keep enough of the funds on the card so the trouble could be avoided, but it's great that there's a way out if things go south.

3 - OK, glad to know the details. I've just called my bank's customer service (it's a good one, too - they're still working after 8pm!). I asked them about international payments via those four cards (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, and Discover) or prepaids. They said that in this bank prepaids won't work for such deals. They also told me that the only option for such transactions is a virtual VISA card - with a full number just as a physical one (the same amount of digits). They've also assured me that this card's number is treated by Internet systems the same way as if it was a physical one and money can be sent not only by virtual systems dedicated for particular websites, but also for direct international transactions (so in this instance if I would like to send money directly to GC bank account, I could do that too). As the phone operator girl told me, other customers use it for example for Ali Express transactions. Not sure if that's good enough, but at least it seems to sound promising. Tomorrow I'll set up this card - I could do it now via online banking system, but the girl advised me to do such stuff in my local bank department for safety reasons.

7 - Right, got an email at 8pm, so the system works fine :)

Thanks for advice and intel. I hope everything goes smoothly and if any problems occur, I'll write a new post in this topic so we could think about possible solutions.
