For those of you that use Ultimate Game Cards

I see where people are coming from and sucks for those that use UGC but UGC is a private company owned by VISA not SE, why does SE get all the flack for what other companies do?

Whatever SE uses to verify/accept credit or debit cards is reason why we were forced to use UGC in first place. I just want to give them my money but they don't make it easy with the constant error codes.

I believe it PlaySpan the system they use which is also the company that controls UGC

I've still no idea why debit cards in the US seem to have so many problems when it comes to SE.

In the UK I've been using them since I started playing FFXI back in 2006...

I'm trying to figure out if any retailers sell SE's game time cards physically. Gamestop does online, but I'm not sure how to use this AE gift card I got online.

I'm another person who uses UGC...I wish SE's payment system wasn't so dang convoluted.

SE has 2 options:
1: Release official crysta/time cards in US/Canada (Does Canada have time cards?)
2: Allow players with the PS version to pay through the PSN wallet, sure, it'd be a pain, but at least PS players and PC people with both versions could still play.

I was actually surprised PS players weren't offered a way to pay through PSN. It'd sure make things a lot easier on our end.

I use a credit card, but i use it on steam, so i don't have that recurring subscription problem.

Playspan's service is great if your CC keeps getting rejected, just email them and they tell you why it's rejected, or outright go "oops" and fix it.

Buying USD UGC was always the cheapest method from Canada, but if it's a choice between <not playing game I like> and <paying an extra $1/mo via 60d timecard> of course I'm going to use the cards. The cards are sold 1:1 USD:CAD disregarding exchange rate, so it's still quite comparable to paying directly.

It really shouldn't be this way though. Us Legacy players are going to be paying 50% more than we need to if we use the game time cards and you yourself shouldn't have to overpay when the simple solution is to convert the cards to 30 dollars worth of crysta as it equates to 60 days for a standard sub AND would still be fair to the other sub types.

I too, exclusively use UGC to pay for both my XI/XIV subs. This is very worrisome for me.

I've seen the time cards in southern Alberta, in the local Wal-mart. So they do exist, they just seem to be hard to find here.

Sweet, something to look forward to when I move there.

Our debit card systems are pretty diffrent (less diffrent now with the uprise in Visa Debit, which is basicly the same as yours, as best as I can tell.), like hell, we just really started using tap where I live! Interac is a thing. It works great -- but only really if you get to physicly use your card, lol
