Can you do this and still get the 6 months for 30$ deal? If so, how? O_o

Just buy specific amount of Crysta for that 6 month period and just apply that when paying with crysta, worked for me this morning when paying for my wifes account

edit: to find out how much crysta you need just change payment method to crysta and it will send you to that billing detail page and it shows total crysta. I just wrote that amount down and bought the exact amount, came back to billing and applied the crysta.

So I need to buy 4794 Crysta ($29.94 + $3x6 , this is what SE's 6 month deal says) via UltimatePay? Then I can actually pay for it with the Crysta in bulk?

how does one deduct money from an expired CC that was never assigned to an account? smells like bs

My FFXI account died this way.

At the time, had to log into PlayOnline client to update your billing information, but once you miss a payment (getting new card with new expiration date), your account was suspended. And the account couldn't be unsuspended until you paid them. Couldn't update billing information through web site. Customer service tells me all I have to do is pay, but they can't update the billing information either.

Went back and forth with SE, SE kept "charging" the expired card each month and terminated my FFXI account for delinquency.

New card never got the deduction and didn't receive any new calls from collectors that think I owe them. The service will continue to tally a charge even if the payment didn't go through the first time for some reason.

Yep sounds right, only one part that was weird was right after making your payment the crysta info on top of that members page still showed 0 but I got the payment confirmation so I just proceeded with crysta payment and it took it and got e-mail confirmation + tested login with wifes account and she was able to get in so it should be good.

Well I guess I will give it a shot if I can use PayPal. I wonder how it will work with the currency conversion to CAD though...

But then again SE does have offices all around the world and I don't think I've heard too much problems when payment was through playonline in FFXI... I never had problems in XI

Yea, I kind of feel its not good for their image to implement it for Japan and not the others though, its kind of like the rep posts on the JP side, if it wasn't for your translation thread we'd know dildly squat tbh lol.

People could easily interpret it to suggest that Japanese players are more important to SE than the rest of the world. (It's only natural to be loyal to your nationality of course but your not supposed to show that as a business)

Hmmm.
