Direct Debt

[Crawlerbasher]

In the UK there are 2 ways of paying.
Credit Card
Debit Card

I would relay love to set up a direct debt or bank transfer so that its all automated.
Been a debit card user, its great that I can pay up to 3 months in advance, but would love to be able have it come out of my account with out forgetting about it or doing it at the last minute.

They already do that

What there do Direct Debit for the UK accounts?
Because the only thing I've seen are card payments.

[Korpg]

They take out $XX (or in your case, UK pounds) every month from the same card. You can use both debt and credit cards in this transactions, because most debit cards are backed by a credit company. Debit cards just take out the money from your checking account, almost instantaneous.

International Bank Laws does not alter banking laws in each country, and I don't think that civilized countries would differ in this aspect. In other words, what happens in the US banks most likely will happen in the UK. Don't see any changes in that.

actually on my debt card I have to manual top up my game play between 1 month and 3 months.
its not automated.

And I was on about a direct debt, no card just money coming straight out of the account to per for services.

Wait, do you actually have to send a check to SE each month to play this game?

Am I understanding this right?

Edit: Or have to put money in your checking account to pay for this game?

This.

My Visa card is not a credit card, it's directly linked to my checking account and no charges will go through unless I actually have sufficient funds on my account. I.e. Debit Card. I've been using this since I started playing. Granted I'm not in the UK but I sincerely doubt things are different there.

Yes it is, thank you for reminding me about what I already know.

This is how it works with a uk debit card.

You login to pol.
You go to services and support.
Go to Membership.
You put in your SE password and one time password in.
then go to Content ID Contract Extension.
Then you pick your Extension period for 1 month 2 month or 3 month.

And each time you need to go though all that again and again and again.

Now for a Credit card its take out of your account automatically.
(I don't want a Credit Card that's why I'm paying using a debit card.)

Now with a Direct Debt.
The money is taken out of your bank account automatically every month on a specified date.

I've never seen this extension option before. My money is taken out automatically every month on my UK debit card.

I don't think they do Direct Debits - for that you'd need to give them your account number and sort code etc but you can use a UK bank debit card to have them take it out every month on the 1st or 2nd automatically.

Those 'card payments' are where you go. It can be confusing but that is where you go for both credit and debit card payments.

The reason is that your UK debit card is either a Visa backed one in which case it is a Visa Debit or Visa Electron card or it is a Mastercard backed one in which case it is a Maestro card. (A few people may still have Switch too).

So look on your card and see if it is Visa or Mastercard based. Then select that option in 'Cards'.
