A question about maximum Crysta.

[Alhanelem]

Also, since this still using archaic system for processing payments, having crysta actually way better. There are alot of reports of ppl having payment issues when linking directly, at least with crysta being middle, one can have enough time to do some preps incase their existing payment encounters some kind of errors, not to mention each browsers could have different reaction with payment websites & flabbergasted when IE still being referred as a much more recommended usage, being the most unsafe thing to use.

Personally, direct linking your card is a terrible idea, unless u're stinkin' rich & don't care with your flowing funds.

I've had my card linked since the beginning with zero issues. It certainly doesn't necessitate being careless and "stnkin' rich."

Yes, some people have had payment issues. You can have payment issues anywhere. Most of those issues are:
-Not accepting cards from a certain country or location (not much you can do about that besides get an account somewhere else)
-Insufficient funds
-Banned for issuing a chargeback to get a "refund." Normally the ban will be released if the chargeback is reversed.
-Use of prepaid debit cards

There are also issues that can be caused by using VPNs or public networks, which happens to protect you from situations where information could be exposed or altered.
Note that this article mentions "Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge." This means this article was written before IE was officially retired from support in Windows- However, IE still lives on via IE mode in Microsoft Edge, which still uses Edge's security features to protect you.

They should in fact update this to reflect IE's retirement which happened in June 2022, however, as far as I know you can't even install IE on a modern machine anymore.

From Microsoft's website:

Over the next few months, opening Internet Explorer will progressively redirect users to our new modern browser, Microsoft Edge with IE mode. Users will still see the Internet Explorer icon on their devices (such as on the taskbar or in the Start menu) but if they click to open Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge will open instead with easy access to IE mode. Eventually, Internet Explorer will be disabled permanently as part of a future Windows Update, at which point the Internet Explorer icons on users’ devices will be removed.
