paying for xiv arr subscription using crysta?

ok so i had $20 sitting in paypal i decided to buy the $20 in crysta because i saw you could use it insted of a credit card. my only question is how do i use it?? i cant figure it out can anyone shed some light on this?

Can't set it up till tuesday I believe.

o.O dont make much sense since i have to pay with credit card or crysta to access early access

True, but you aren't setting up a subscription yet. Once they turn on the payment/subscription system, you'll be able to use your crysta.

with the old SE account manager system, you buy crysta, choose it as payment option and they automatic take it from there monthly, the different between crysta & card is you have to manual re-stock crysta

ah so with buying the crysta i should be able to access early access? or will i have to register a card to do so?

Would not bother with that crap till they open up the mog station(hopefully this is more user friendly) the account management system is a bitch for anyone not accustomed to Square Enix.

no, early access is no pay, and as the information goes, early access can play until 30 august

I think they are allowing retailers to sell Crysta cards later, I forget when and where I read that, might of been one of the letters. Hopefully that is true, I am not one to post CC info online after the mass hacking that has been going around.

(and with some retailers starting to use Paypal at checkout, there is going to be super safety)

This leads me to a slightly different question. I have something like 430 crysta that has been in my account for quite a while. Can I apply that to whatever service plan I go with (probably 180 days) and then pay with CC for the rest?
