I saw that there is a discontinuation of Ultimate Game Card and Ultimate Points, http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...3368969ee71d38 However, there's no mentioning about paying with PayPal through Ultimate Pay (PlaySpan). Today I tried to add more Crysta but there is no "more" options in the payment method selection screen or in Crysta purchase page.
What's happening? Is it temporarily down due to a maintenance or something related to the aforementioned discontinuation? Or are we now permanently without PayPal payment method for Crysta???
Crysta purchase no longer accepts PayPal?

I'm confused about this. I remember reading somewhere that they wouldn't be discontinuing paypal? It's my preferred payment method too.
Edit: Yep, looks like they just chunked the whole thing out, regardless that it was the only way to get to the paypal option. On the other hand, I tried the visa option on a whim, sure that it would reject my card but it actually went through. xD -

I am hoping that the UltimatePay => PlaySpan => Paypal => Crysta method is only unavailable temporarily and will be back soon. -

it seemed like a permanent discontinuation to me, seems like it wasn't profitable for them

EU has physical time cards available, and webstores selling them will email you a scan of the code.

Could always just buy a prepaid credit card and use that to add crysta.

While I was dealing with customer support yesterday (due to them rejecting every card I have with the 401, 406, and 601 errors, even though my banks say there is nothing wrong...), they stated that they "retired" the other pay method (i.e. PayPal) so that I would get the same errors whether I tried entering my card again for auto-renew or tried purchasing crysta. Poor decision, SE...

Owwwwwwwwwww ouch. OK I think I'll have to try to get my debit card to work.
Thank you everyone for all your inputs. This sucks because I have so many dollars in my PayPal account because I kept it there solely for buying Crysta. :( -

Well, this is interesting. I don't have a credit card, so the only option for me would be purchasing a prepaid subscription card (which makes it more expensive)? And of course I then have to wait for the stupid postal service to deliver it to me?
That's ridiculous. Screw that. Square had better fix this real quick or they're losing a customer. Which sucks, because the game itself is pretty good.
