Can we get our money back?

Posted at: 2015-07-28 
We went to an arcade and their machine was paper less, after using it once we checked out bank account and 1.50 had been charged. So we thought "awesome! Lots of coins for cheap". This place has LOTS of sales so we assumed it was a great sale. On the machine it simply says one dollar for 4 tokens. But we got about 20 for 1.50. I'm only 19 so of course we got happy and went back for tokens at least 5/6 times. Now, however, we're getting charged 10.00$ EACH TIME. I would've NEVER spent 60$ at an arcade, that a ridiculous amount for prizes worth 2$ at best. I wanted to call the company and ask for our money back b. Maybe we didn't read the fine print he ut I'm not even sure I have a right to it. Maybe we just didn't read the machine correctly but what should we do?

It sounds like the $1.50 charge is a placeholder until the actual amount goes through. That is commonly done at other places like gas stations and hotels where they need to make sure you have the ability to pay but the actual charge is pending until the transaction clears. It's unfortunate to learn a lesson like that in this way, but as others have said, $60 isn't too much to have this knowledge in the future.

It was fine when you thought you were cheating them but now it backfired on you and you don't like it do you? What comes around goes around. At 19 you are also considered an adult so don't try to use that as a excuse.

I'd call the company first and ask why it had happened. After that, I'd go online to legalaid.com and find a resource that will help you best. Just don't use a tone that sounds accusatory. Hope this helps.

Nope

Your fault for not reading the terms of the sale. Be glad that it was for only $60.
