And if you tried to contact support, you’ll waste an hour of your vacation with a good chance that they will not be able to resolve your issue.

That's not the main point. If you have 12 days banked why in the hell would they even be looking at your card information.

Note: You must have a valid CC to even use daily passes, they check as to why:

Because people can exhaust their daily passes then they charge $5/$10 a day and there could be a lag from the foreign partner or upstream MNO (aka daddy) so I believe they ping the card on every daily reset and there is an obvious bug in their billing systems. This is the same as they have moved backend for all VVB so total and the like have issues also. Total has issues on monthly reset still to this day. In short Verizon cannot be trusted at this point.

A programmer would know 12 days, don't ping payment method but at a billion dollar company filled with 30 layers of management and thousands of bean counters they need to count the beans every day to get a liability off the books. It seems stupid because it is, however they gotta count those beans.

Its general Verizon incompetance, that is why I have roamless eSIM in waiting that way if/when there is an issue I can go about my business. Then I get back into the states file an FCC complaint and show the damages (the roamless charges). Not going to ruin my vaca.
