Concerns about using Pre-Paid Debit Card on Mog Station

I'm thinking about buying a month of sub, but my only way atm is using a prepaid card. My concern is if prepaid cards work on the mog station and if so is there a certain brand of pre paid card i should use? thanks~

I don't know about that, but if it doesn't work, you could use a prepaid card to buy 60-day time card code from an online retailer.

-Places like Gamestop will sell local 60 day time cards that you can buy in store. EB games or the like equivalent in respective countries.
-Amazon sells the prepaid 60 day time cards, as well as Square-enix's website digitally (sometimes).
-Green dot is usually the most recommended, since it's accepted ALMOST everywhere over normal debit cards. Green Dot cards are sold at retailers such as CVS, Rite-Aid and Wal-Mart. The latest version of this prepaid debit card, the Green Dot Reloadable Prepaid MasterCard or Visa, has a higher monthly fee — but a lower activation fee — than previous versions. Unlike older Green Dot cards, this one has no free ATM access.

Using Green dot, what I've seen (and heard recommended) is using Green dot as a prepaid > attaching it to a middle man account (paypal) and then add your paypal to the account.

The ONLY down side about payments is that it becomes a Spriggan bomb if you're ever short on payments. And they're not fun to reverse if you're late on adding funds to your prepaid card and/or wallet before the subscription time is up. The easiest solution would be to purchase a prepaid 60 day time card, which equals 2 months worth anyways, and add that to your mogstation. This way there's no hassle with payments late or stress, and you'll know by notification on email if and about the time it happens! Saves me a lot of worries with bills myself lol.

Another alternative for people concerned about verifying that they have money available in their account before the next billing cycle occurs is to pay their sub with crysta. Purchasing crysta is a manual process, and if you purchase the exact amount you need for the next month or six months or whatever you want, you can then use it to pay for that period, but it won't auto-renew. When your time expires, you'll have to do it again, but that gives you the opportunity to check your balances and make sure you have the money on hand when you make that payment (as well as verifying that it's still what you want to spend that money on).

I've been using a credit card to buy crysta, and then using that crysta to pay for my sub, just because I want continuing payments to require some manual input on my part periodically, as an opportunity for me to check that payment against my budget. The 60 day time cards would also work for that purpose if you're getting just a standard sub, but with crysta I can choose the amount and include things like extra paid retainers. (Extras like that end up being a separate payment if you buy subscription time using 60 day time cards.)

I'm pretty sure (though I've not personally verified) that either prepaid debit cards or PayPal work for purchasing crysta the same as they do for paying a subscription directly.
