Already reeling from falling stock prices as well as ongoing protests inspired by the 2013 documentary Blackfish, the theme park chain SeaWorld is now facing another lawsuit, this time from a group led by a Los Angeles woman claiming the company defrauds customers by automatically renewing their annual passes without proper notice.

According to a Courthouse News Service report, lead plaintiff Shery Gargir signed up at some unspecified point in the last four years for a two-year pass to SeaWorld San Diego, electing to use the park website's "EZPay" option, which charged her $28.82 up front, then collected $5.66 on a monthly basis for the duration of her two-year agreement.

When the term was up, however, the charges never stopped.

"Defendant failed, and continues to fail, to present the automatic renewal offer terms, or continuous service offer terms, in a clear and conspicuous manner," Gargir argues in her complaint, noting that SeaWorld collected $693 million in subscription revenues in the first three-quarters of 2014 alone, with "approximately 30%" of its overall ticket sales revenue being generated online. Twenty percent of revenues are said to come from within California.

Gargir is hoping to have her class action certified to cover California residents who purchased the automatically-renewing passes within the last four years, and seeks as a result to have any services rendered during that time declared an "unconditional gift."

AirAsia plans cashless inflight sales

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 27: 

AirAsia Bhd plans to go fully cashless for all sales of food, beverages and other items on offer while passengers are flying with the aviation group’s aircraft.

Should any passenger not have plastic or just have cash available, ground and cabin crew will cheerfully offer one of three prepaid cards that AirAsia will be promoting exclusively – once the deal announced to Bursa today is completed.

In its Bursa filing, AirAsia said it is subscribing to a 40% stake in Tune Money Sdn Bhd for RM10 million and also signing a commercial agreement towards the joint-offering of prepaid cards, with Tune Money to obtain the necessary approvals from Bank Negara Malaysia for such issuance.

The three cards planned are EZPay Virtual (a hybrid prepaid Mastercard), EZPay Passport (a multi-currency prepaid Mastercard) and BIG prepaid Visa/Mastercard (a 2-in-1 loyalty and payment card which may have a multi-currency wallet).

It isn’t clear how and if the AirAsia Asean Pass unveiled late last year will relate to this Tune Money proposal.

AirAsia also said in its Bursa filing that it envisages a possible listing for Tune Money in five years if it meets the necessary performance requirements.

About the EZ Pay pre-notice emails from 11/1/13

The email versions of today's EZ Pay pre-notifications did not go out today. We are still investigating the cause. All such notices generated today should end up getting printed and mailed unless you are enrolled in e-Billing, in which case you will get that a reminder email that the PDF copy of the notice is available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. EDIT (11/4/13): Good news! All the pre-notices that should've been emailed out on Friday are going out by email today. We now know the cause of the problem and should be able to avoid it going forward.

Signing up for EZ Pay with an Ultimate Access subscription

New Ultimate Access (all digital) subscriptions are being set up on EZ Pay without issue. Fantastic!

However, as some of you have noticed, when you attempt to sign-up for (or update) EZ Pay on our Subscriber Services site, no renewal terms show up. That is, the $12.00 per month option is not presented. Since you can't pick an invisible term, you can't submit your information to sign up for EZ Pay!

We're researching this. I can see the error message coming out of our system... We just haven't yet figured out why it's only happening with this one rate ($12/mo). Every other subscription rate we've tested is coming back with one to four renewal terms, whether that term is in weeks, months or years. Very strange!

EDIT: Until we get this fixed, the $12 per month Ultimate Access subscribers will need to call in to Customer Service to sign up for or update EZ Pay. We've opened a ticket with one of our vendors to further troubleshoot this since we can't find a problem with our setup. Like I said when originally posting this: Every other rate is working just fine. Realistically, this only effects existing customers converting to Ultimate Access and not already being on EZ Pay.

Re: Links in the EZ Pay e-mails

Up until late this morning, links from within our EZ Pay pre-notification e-mails had Google Analytics parameters appended to them. We failed to notice that these parameters were not playing nice with the SFChronicle.com, so the link to http://www.sfchronicle.com/ultimateaccess would result in an error page.

This automatic appending of analytics parameters has been temporarily disabled. If anyone had been clicking that one particular link and running into problems, well... There's the explanation. Two weeks too late!

It would be preferable to retain that analytics data, so I am working with the team in charge of the web server to allow those parameters in sfchronicle.com URLs.
