Where can I spend my crysta to sub? I press renew and it only asks for game card :S

[wolfsspirit]

go to mog station
Click : Account services
Click : Update payment method , use crysta to pay

or i think it was..
Else it should be account services / Subscription services -> payment -> complete

Arymys, you can select "Specify amount of Crysta to add to your account" (the last option on the list) in order to type the exact amount you need/want. The reason I said pay with PayPal is because it still gives you an error if you try with a credit/debit card. But yeah the whole thing is on SE's end and it's complete BS that this hasn't been fixed after 2 weeks of complaints from various people.

How do I use the crysta to pay for sub?????????

You have to select crysta from the payment options and then "add crysta." Then choose a payment method to pay for crysta. I used paypal because it wouldn't accept my CCs.

Keep in mind that Crysta may not show up as an option if SE has chosen not to make it available for your region.

They really need to provide some sort of guide as to which regions do/don't have Crysta available to them--it's caused a lot of headaches over the years.

If Crysta is available to you as a payment option, you can also use the Ultimate Game Card codes as well (add the code via the Ultimate Pay option, there is a separate tab for entering your UGC code). You can get the physical cards at local store, or buy the codes at a number of places online.

Hmmmm...
I tried to add crysta with Pay-Pal twice now, and both times there was an error, and i couldn't pay. So now what do I do? The cards don't seem to be working, AND my dad doesn't want to go the card route. So I need to use Pay-Pal, but now I can't pay with that either! GAAAHHHH! :/

Where are you located? It might be your region doesn't have Crysta available... perhaps someone can verify.

I'm in eastern United States. I have the feeling that crysta is in fact enabled for my region. It's not like I'm in some obscure European country.

Just trying to verify, as the Canadian servers cover an entire hemisphere of people, many of which do not have Crysta as an option. Some people have gone weeks trying to figure out their problem, only to find Crysta is not an option for them in Guam or somewhere in the Oceania region.

Have you confirmed there is nothing funky with your Pay-Pal end? Account credentials, the default payment option set there (if a CC/Debit card, expiration date may need to be updated, something odd like that), verified there's no rejection happening for the transfer on the bank's end? (a lot have recently made changes to wire transfers and such for security reasons). There are a LOT of points of failure in this process. It may take a little digging to find where the fault lies.

As mentioned earlier, since you are in a region known to accept Crysta and UGC codes, you also have that as an option. Can get them at all kinds of local stores--Gamestop, Walmart, CVS, think I've even seen them in some grocery stores where they have the iTunes and Google Play cards even. Yeha, kinda sucks that you have to buy them in flat increments (usually $20 or $25 in stores), but online you can get the codes in a wider variety (as low as $10 I think).
