error 406/401/601

Yes I'll make another thread about it just to make it clear that square isn't doing jack shit about it. I've gotten an e-mail saying "Thank you for using the Square Enix Account Management System. This e-mail has been sent to inform you that an error occurred when processing payment for FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. As a result, automatic renewal has been suspended for your account."
My bank has already THREE 1 dollar pending charges from square already trying to renew my subscription. Every time I try to renew on mogstation all I get is error 401/406/or 601. Buying Crysta is a stupid option I don't even know why that's there... I would buy a game card if they had a 1 month option with entry level price! I don't want to pay 2 dollars extra to pay for options I will ever use! Everyone who's having this problem make your own thread and flood this forum just to let square know this is a problem that needs to be fix ASAP!!!!

I posted about this earlier aswell. how freaking hard is it for you to just take my damn money and be done with it?

I'm having the same issue since today. At first I thought it was an issue with my credit card, but I am able to purchase things with it anyway. Hell I just added 5 bucks on my steam wallet with it.

And yes, error code 406 etc.

I opened a support ticket with se about it and I'm still waiting for a response. (I have 8 $1.15 charges on my card now too)

I ended up getting a gametime card but now I can't use my extra retainers and they're holding all the items hostage on them....

Likewise Silverstorm. i have 6 $1 charges, and was forced to buy a time card. luckily i don't have your retainer issue though. they need go fix this asap

I made a call to FE earlier today, I was told they will look into my situation as to why I currently cannot buy anything on the 'Mog Station'. I was told I would also be refunded all of the £1.00 payments which have come out of my account as 'service charges' although my payments did not go through due to errors: 401 and 406. I am now awaiting a reply via email or phone call with a conclusion and solution to my issue.

I will keep this thread updated with my outcome. ;)

I hope they actually do something for you. most of us get no replies. but if they can fix yours they can fix ours with some patch maybe. i don't have time to wait on SE to answer my call for 9 hours though

I just called this SE Support Number: 08706000182 for EU and got put straight through to someone. Try it out and repost your response here? :)

Lol I'm gonna call today. Haven't heard back from support, my card is still somehow "not registered correctly" but now there's $10.35 charged on it.

From my experiences with running businesses, in my honest opinion.. It seems their system may have wiped many payment details and now the system is rejecting them.. They need to get on this asap and do a maintenance on all payment options. Happened once with a company I was involved with (not mentioning names) and they had to trash the whole system and reinstall new servers, took around 9 days for it to be up and running correctly again.. I hope this is not the case though - As I have just come back from a weeks vacation and I am craving my Scholar aha.. :(

Please get to the bottom of it - NO MERCY TO THE PERSON ON THE PHONE!!

Looking at my bank account - it seems they have taken around £12.00 out of it due to service charge.. I best get it all back!

Well, not only is finding a phone number for their support line nauseating as hell (they don't post it, so I'm trusting the same NA number that's been reported by several other players), the number also isn't toll free. As a Canadian that's going to be one hell of a phone bill I don't need.

As a side note as much as I would love to rage out I also want them to help me in a timely manner.

I tried doing livechat support, after being logged out twice while trying to send the ticket in I got a message that I need to wait about an hour for their support to open -_-

I've no clue then.. There is a Sticky at the top of Technical Support about errors:401 & 406.... I took it there lol.

Luckily I haven't been charged any service fees, but I still can't renew my subscription. I all ready received a response from the support email service with the pre packaged message about it being my banks fault.

I've been getting these errors for days now on both my account and my husband's account....And when I finally got through to "customer support", they informed me that the system where I could have used PayPal was retired the day before...how convenient...So apparently the only way we can renew is by purchasing the GameTime cards which can only be bought in 60 day increments. We wanted to do the 180 day up to save some on monthly costs. If we do that, we lose our extra retainers and all of the gil/stuff that was in them. We have tried multiple cards, different banks, both Master Card and Visa with no luck. Called the banks and there is indeed money in the accounts and nothing is frozen. All I want to do is for SE to take my money. And they are refusing to do it. Except for the many $1 pre-auth charges. Has anyone been able to get through this lately??

If you're not gonna get the game time cards then no, every time a payment fails you get a 24 hour block. They stack, so if you failed 3 times you have a 72 hour block before being able to try again. Since it failed for no good reason I can't expect it to work again when my block ends but it's all I can try. I also get to joyously wait 12 or more days because naturally there was nothing mentioned about this block when the payments failed.

This system is stupid but it's really all we can do....

I have had a response for SE!

I hope this works!

I'm in the same boat as everyone else regarding most of the information in this thread, but I can shed some light on the small ($1) charges to the credit card account. This is from S-E:

"A valid payment method is required to play FINAL FANTASY XI [sic]. All payment methods must be registered through the SQUARE ENIX Account Management System. The fee you are referring to is not a fee but a pre-authorization hold to verify funds are available on the account. The hold is $1.00 but will fall off the account after a few days. We apologize for the confusion this may have caused."

The $1 charge occurs when you register a card for payment. The problem is, of course, that registering the card doesn't mean that you can pay with it. Still, it is good to know that the $1 charges are intended eventually to drop off.
