That is not what I am talking about. You CAN buy a 60 day game time card. What you CANNOT do is buy a pre paid card for money to use for the online shop. And while there is an option called "Amazon Pay", you CANNOT use your gift card balance, you MUST add a payment method like a credit card....which defeats the purpose.

I think grimgamer misunderstood what you were asking for (hence the comment about game time cards), but they're right that you can pick up prepaid credit cards. They function like a Visa or Mastercard, but are actually basically a reloadable gift card that just works anywhere that credit cards are accepted. So you can pick up a prepaid Visa, load $50 on it, et voila, you can use that card anywhere that takes Visa (such as the online shop) until the $50 is spent. Put $50 or $25 more or whatever on the card again whenever you want to spend more at a place that requires credit cards.

(You can also get one-off Visa or Mastercard gift cards, that are one-and-done and not reloadable, but that always seems wasteful to me.)

The lowest card I could find is US$25, and it comes with a US$3.95 purchase fee (if I got the info correct). The thing is other MMOs have pre paid cards you can buy to get the currency for their online store (like Cartel Coin cards for SWTOR), so there really is no excuse for SE not to have some equivalent pre paid card for their online store.

Square Enix isn't a bank. Minting pre-paid cards cost time, money and effort. What's wrong with using a bank for your banking needs?
