If you create a patreon account using a simplelogin alias, patreon will automatically flag it as suspicious after a few minutes and delete the account.

This means you can make an account. Purchase whatever you wanted and wait. The account will be deleted as suspicious and the money is automatically refunded.

I don’t think money is automatic refunded on account deletions. Also, if you’re registering your card on multiple accounts, it will get flagged. One thing every service is good at is handling payment info.

Unless you have proof charges were automatically reversed.

But again, it would theoretically work one time.

It was for me, I got a notice of a refund just a few hours after the account closer email.

Again I just discovered this and don't want to come off like it's a for sure thing.

In terms of payments methods, patreon seems to accept virtual cards, which makes it easy to avoid using the same payment method or tying any part of your identity to the transaction.
