Since Stripe doesn't have a way to lookup a customer based their email address, I have to pull all of them down and compare accordingly (from this SO question). This works fine, but now customer_i_need is:
[#<Stripe::Customer:0x3fc836b51efc id=cus_8BETSKddddnJD> JSON: {

}]
really, I just need to be able to add the id (cus_8BETSKddddnJD) to my users account if it's already created, but I'm having trouble accessing the value.
I've tried customer_i_need["id"] but that's not working. I've also tried to convert customer_i_need.to_json, then access the value the same way, but that's not working either... where am I going wrong?
