    I've confirmed that no, you cannot pay for different accounts with different cards anymore. My fiance and I have paid for our own accounts for a long time, but bought 1 security token a long time ago and linked both accounts under the same SE account for convenience and to save money. We still want to pay for the accounts separately, as each of us pays for a different set of bills, and this Click and Buy bullshit won't let us.

    Crysta is far worse and in no way a solution to the problem. There are a lot of us that wouldn't be able to pay ahead of time for our accounts, and having to manually buy Crysta monthly with different cards would be highly inconvenient.

    The best solution for customers with this problem would be to make it possible to unlink POL accounts into separate SE accounts.

    Edit: Oh, and even though SE made sure to mention that multiple cards can be registered with Click and Buy, the account still has to be registered under one person and it draws money from whatever card is the preferred one. There doesn't seem to be any way to pick a separate card for each account.

    I would be thrilled for this. I've been playing since January 2003- my account is Japanese because my friends and I were unsure the game would ever be released to western audiences. I've continually paid far more each month than the average American player, and often my monthly payments exceed $18 US.

    The FAQs says that under the new format SEIDs work under, a Japanese POL ID could potentially be linked to a North American SEID. The issue is that last year, when I got a Security Token with my American version of FFXIV, I immediately linked my Japanese POL ID with a Japanese SEID because at that time, SEIDs were still region locked. I'm not going to lie- I only linked the two things because I really wanted a mog satchel. As soon as I confirmed my mog satchel in-game, I unlinked the token from my account.

    Now, just because I linked my JP POL ID to a JP SEID last year, I can't link my JP POL ID to an NA SEID this year. How was I to know they would eventually remove the region locking behind the SEID system? So since I'm locked into this hell, I'll be forced to pay $18 every month. God forbid I ever start up playing FFXIV again- I'll have to pay even more, and won't even get the discount for owning both games since my FFXIV is registered to my NA account.

    This could ALL be solved if they would just allow relinking of POL accounts, but no matter how many service reps I talk to, my problem won't be solved. Please Square, just start listening to us about this and try to make things easier.

    Hell, I can't even log into POL right now because I bought 2 Abyssea expansions last month. Until the payment cycle restarts or this upcoming end-of-the-month maintenance fixes things, I can't even play the game I pay so much for. Come on, is all of this really necessary? There's nothing you can do to alleviate the pain your playerbase is constantly feeling?

    edit: It looks like I missed a page of conversation. Sorry for any discrepancies that have been solved in the last page.
