You're going to file a chargeback for an illegal service? With whom? You're going to use a traceable means to pay for this? So I guess if your drug dealer stiffs you, you're just going to report him to the police, RIGHT? "Hey officer my drug dealer ripped me off, can you take care of it please?"

Use your fucking brain. Only pay for what you can afford to potentially lose.

If you honestly can't see a one month sub for what you are getting at $10-$15 as being a good deal, without taking on all the extra risk you are already acknowledging the existence of in the name of saving what...a couple extra bucks a month, then no amount of warning here is going to help you not get screwed.

Given that post you've essentially already made up your mind. Just go with it and learn the lesson firsthand latter.

Get a PayPal account. Get their debit/credit card. Last time I had it it the debit card was free and the credit card had no annual fee and very reasonable interest rate. Using either card pulls directly from your PayPal balance first, and if you link your bank account pulls the rest (or all) from your bank. Use that card to sign up for these services. When things go bad use PayPal's dispute system to get your money back. I had to do it with mystreams, they wouldn't respond to my ticket for month, when the next auto renew monthly bill cycle hit I filed a dispute. Got that month's fees back and canceled the recurring auto renewal. Easy peasy.

Like u/blingless8 said charging back something to your reseller, who has no control for a server going down or not working, is equivalent to taking your refund directly from the cashier's pockets, at the till of your local store.

If you're not responsible enough as an adult to understand what you're getting into with IPTV, in regards to its legality, risk, etc., stick to using cable and satellite.

Also remember if you can chargeback then most likely your reseller has your address. Yes there's a lot of you here who screwed me when Vaders was migrating their server. I could do a lot but it wouldn't make me any better then them.

Stick to month to month. Its cheap enough. 1 month cable bill covers for the whole year.

Gotta think of it both ways though.

Filing a chargeback screws over the reseller, not the actual provider. Us resellers pay a large sum in advanced to these companies so that we can provide services to clients.

If you are worried about the services coming to an end then the best bet would be to go monthly or three months at a time.

I am pretty sure you can't file a charge back after 6 months. Most credit cards and payment systems give you 60 days. If you don't file within 60 days of when the charge hits your account then too late.

Prepaying for IPTV requires you to hedge your bets. I'd always recommend that you add 3 to 6 months at the most because no one can predict the future. Realistically, even 12 months isn't a lot in relation to what you're getting and what you would normally be paying to get the same content. But only spend what you can afford to lose.

You are taking a gamble with going with a service these days. You got to do research instead of trying to figure out how to get your money back. If you did research, you would know that things can be volitle month to month. I think the best thing for you so do is to sub your local cable or satellite provider. For many people, this is a hobby, not a replacement for what you have. There are other streaming services that are also stable. I think it is shitty to ask for a chargeback for a service you knew could be up and down on a dime. If you did that, then resellers and IPTV provider s don't have any incentive to give you anything if they knew someone could just try to get back money for something out of the control of the resellers

You have 180 days to file a chargeback after this time it’s not possible except if you paid by American Express which I believe is 1 year.

Nope....waste of time. Dont ever pay that far ahead if 100$ is alot of money too you and you are afraid to lose it...

Hello, We are WSS Premium provider and im saying Maximum that a customer should take is 6month, infact i prefer and suggest all to get 3months Max.

Do not pay for a 1 year sub unless it's the same price as 3 or 6 months. Even 6 months I'd be wary of. A LOT can happen in a year.

/u/Blue-Thunder is an idiot, don't listen to him.

It doesn't matter what is legal/illegal, what matters is that Visa/MasterCard processed the transaction.

That said, there is a time limit on chargebacks, you can't chargeback something over 1-2 months typically.

They aren't going to let you buy something and then change your mind after a year.
