Despite several email exchanges, Uber never agreed to
reimburse her the extra money. But she disputed the
charge with her credit card company and got back her
$98. Uber then canceled her account.
- xkcd-sucks 8y agoTypically companies store CC info hashed with a per account salt, so you can sign up for another account with the same credit card
