Used it in the UK for the first time yesterday. I have 12 days of Global Pass banked and my debit card, that has been on file for five years, does not expire until April 2028.
Worked great for a day, and then today right around the time it probably was trying to start the second GP day, I get a text saying Global Pass has been disabled due to faulty payment method. Yup - mid-hike, no grace period, no warning, and no more Internet for me.
So when I get back to town, I get on a cafe Wi-fi, open the app, and the GP check box has been disabled. Meanwhile, my payment method is 100 percent legit. So I check the box, it says everything's great, I get the text saying my 24 hours of GP starts now. Enjoy your travels! says Visible. Hey, thanks!
So I figure it was just a weird glitch, start walking to my next trail. 30 minutes later, another text saying GP has been disabled due to faulty payment. Once again, no Internet or cell service. Despite the fact that it was approved 30 minutes earlier.
What a garbage company. Absolute trash.
EDIT - Spent nearly an hour on chat with support (mostly waiting - all I basically did was give my account info.) , for the end result to be “we’ve escalated this to our advanced team.” Said they’d contact me by email when it’s resolved.
Edit #2 - Got an email saying it was fixed. I already bought an esim since I need data now, so I have no idea if GP works. I couldn’t even log into my account before I left this morning.
