@siracusa one of my "favorite" parts is, after i didn't take action within the 24-hour threat window, that Apple then tells me it was "per my request" to cancel AppleCare One!
Screenshot of an email from Apple with heading "AppleCare One Add-on Canceled" and body "Your AppleCare One Add-on has been canceled per your request, and you may be issued a refund. If you are issued a refund you will be provided with a Credit Note specifying the amount" with "per your request" highlighted (by the poster, not from the original email)

@siracusa Who’s Apple Account is the active one for Find My on that Mac? (IIRC, only one Apple Account per Mac can be active for that, and perhaps they’re somehow thinking that’s the “primary” one?)

@siracusa Hi John, maybe you should call Apple Support. I few years ago I had to change my VISA card and it would not activate in my Apple Wallet. It worked fine for my wife’s Apple Wallet. I spent 8 hours over two days at the local Apple Store and called on the phone before Apple found somewhere in my profile my street address was misspelled. Just my two cents.

@siracusa probably the same architecture that underlies the prized “report junk and delete this message from all devices (by which we mean, delete only from this device)” feature. It Just Works.

@siracusa It feels like it isn’t worth it, so I won’t bother getting it. I’ll just pay the extra to not have to deal with that.

@siracusa 🍏 is great and not fascism-adoring and enabling at all. Maybe 🍎 should get into bioengineering, perfect for the TRUMP führer to only keep the right people alive. A lot of 💰 to be made !!!
Only the undeserving, non-adoring and non-whites will suffer in TRUMPs kingdumb. TRUMP HAS A BIG 🍆 AND HUGE ✋👌!!!

@siracusa I think this might be expected behavior to prevent users from abusing AppleCare One. Without this restriction, you could create dummy users on all the Macs in your family that you’re not actively using and add them to the plan. This limitation likely exists to ensure that only regularly used devices are covered. I hope I’m wrong

@siracusa as a person who checks my email semi-annually, I think I might pass on this offer.

Not quite as frustrating but every time I go to log in at developer.apple or the feedback app it autofills my old Apple employee account ID and I have to change it—I retired 2 years ago. You may have an old ghost account ID.

@siracusa At this point I'm not sure if it's more apt to describe signing up for AppleCare One as tilting at windmills, or pushing a boulder up a hill.

...maybe Prometheus having his liver pecked out daily.

@siracusa is it just a stupid edge-triggered warning where they need to see a new login every 24 hours?
