Why am I having all this trouble with FF14???

I've never ever suffered from a service this much! 2015 is the worst FF14 year in my life

1-I've started to get this 406 or 400-sth error message when I try to use my credit card although it worked well before & still works well in other websites!

2-Then I moved to buy crysta using paypal as I was told by SE and it worked at first, but now I only get this message

And nothing is added!!

3-Time card codes from amazon.com don't work (as people I got from people's complaints there) & I honestly don't want to get 60 days subscriptions each time I renew cause I'm not sure whether I can play this long without taking breaks -_-"

What should I do now?

Is it because I, and my siblings, share the same credit card & paypal account that SE prohibits us from using in more than 1 Sqaure account? Cause the problems always start with the 2nd or 3rd payment in an other account!

I know some will tell me to contact SE.

When I ask such questions in the live chat I get no clear answers. I only get this kind of order "Just try this...just do this...just wait..." ....

And the live chat & email services, never solved a problem. So when I asked for solutions to get my credit card work, they FORCED me to buy crysta though I told that I wasn't comfortable with it.

And when I asked them to help with me HW expansion code problem (not able to install it) they just kept telling me to wait forever so they'd one day post sth in the lodestone...I wasted subscription days & got no solution from them...Then I contacted amazon.com (where I bought the code) & in less than 24h they got me a new code from SE & the expansion was successfully installed.

It's all been happening in this particular month!
I'm not enjoying FF14 anymore

Sorry for all this but I'm lost & I really need to know what to do or where I've gone wrong

Your payment info is case sensitive. Are you entering the billing information exactly as it appears on the statements?

Yes exactly....I've actually memorized the card's number & all info that I don't need to look at it to write them..never made a mistake...this error just happened suddenly...to make sure I tried once to write one wrong number & I got this message saying that it's not valid (not the 406 error)...when I write the right numbers again I get this error 406 message again ):

Could always use a prepaid credit card or something too. You'd have to pay a few bucks for activation fee, though. Regarding the crysta thing: I've only purchased it a couple of times, but both times it took a while for it to show up in my account. Guessing you already tried relogging into your account, though. I dunno. :( You could try talking to your bank.

Have you tried other web browsers and see if the error persists?

At least part of your issue is probably this, when it comes to credit cards. I had the same issue with my partner, and we had to put our subscriptions on separate cards to fix it. I contacted support before that, and they said that this was the issue, I'm surprised they haven't changed this yet. That was about two years ago.

This is prolly your issue and it took them time to notice the same names on the account. (assuming its a parents name?) The auto thing prolly dosent check for this but a tech did. If anything you should get your own card and build some credit, sharing cards and info is never a good idea...

I've had the same problem once before; where the Crysta just wouldn't show up after paying with Paypal. This isn't a problem on your end. If your paypal account was charged the Crysta will eventually show up in your account. Sometimes it takes 15 seconds, sometimes it takes hours. Like the image you linked said: "*Please note that in some cases there may be a delay before Crysta is added to your account." It's a problem, and it does happen, but your Crysta is on its way.

Most games don't care who's name is on the card, so long as it authorizes payment.

Authorized card users on an account can use cards with others names on them providing ID elsewhere. I've paid subs for friends before and have used my mother's card from the other side of the country to order plane tickets.

Same credit card(mine) was paying for three unrelated wow accounts before.

That should not be an issue. If it is, they need to fix it.

This could be the delay mentioned above, it could be the browser. If it not those, it could be the region you are physically in.

I understand if you are using a credit card or debit card to make payments, the authorization system will, as part of verification, look at your IP address to ensure you are located in the same country as your account's registered address and the card you are using. If they don't match up, it doesn't get authorized. Or something like that.

I've paid for Europeans before.

Don't forget SE have one of the most strict set of payment rules I've ever encountered in over 20 years of online shopping. It's not to say it's any safer than elsewhere, just stricter (like blocking accounts permanently after a chargeback). It's for this reason you face issues.

It's simple to say "get a new credit card" but it can be difficult. Is it possible to set up a debit card account (I don't know how easy it is in your country) or buy a prepaid credit card? The latter is usually available to anyone over the legal minimum age. I'd normally suggest Crysta via PayPal but that's causing you issues too. One thing you may want to check is that PayPal isn't deferring payment (which it sometimes defaults to) & then temporarily delaying payment to Crysta, causing delays.

I hope you get it fixed; a FC member had the 406 card issue for a long time & had to stop playing during it. I'll ask next time they're on how/if it was resolved.

Random thought. So you said you can make one payment and when attempting to make a second or third payment you get the 406 error? I don't know if it could possibly have anything to do with the fact that your computer has information stored as temp files indicating that you've already made a successful payment, which the site could check for when you attempt to make a second payment, and if the site sees those temporary files on your pc it would understand to decline a second purchase, but if that's the case, which it's probably not so don't get your hopes up...you could try making a payment, close your browser, use a program like Ccleaner to clear the cache on your computer, or alternatively use your internet browser options to remove temporary internet files, and then open your browser back up, go to the Mogstation, and attempt to make another payment. Like I said, it was just a random thought, but if it works...well, that would be pretty cool, and it would save you a lot of hassle.

More then likely it's your bank, it's protecting you from fraud, contact them first, SE can't do anything else if they ran you through all their hoops already.
