Alternate methods to pay for subs?

Get yourself a sugar daddy?

Lol well it turns out my walmart has a time card and I got the last one. I'm kind of surprised since this is a really rural town, though they weren't here back in April, not to mention it barely being available elsewhere. Not complaining though, saved me a headache.

Also there is an option to use paypal, if you click ultimate game card the option for it is under that. And yes I know its harmful to the economy to not use a credit/debit card but at the same time there are people like me who refuse to touch them for various reasons and there should be a better method for those people to play as well.

You can use prepaid cards like Ultimate Game Cards to buy Crysta.
There are also official FFXIV 90 day sub cards you can buy, if you can find them where you live. (I can't.)

Ultimate Game Cards is retiring in august, it wouldn't be too good of an idea to get overly used to using them now

I've seen it all. Do your carry around thousands of dollars on you in cash? if you're worried about fraud get a good bank. usually less than 24 hrs and my money is back. things happen. I'd personally much rather have my debit card stolen than a wad of cash. as someone said take off your tin foil hat and stop listening to those voices.

Not sure if you're a child or what, but you can't get far in the US w/o a credit card so when you grow up you'll need to get one. In fact, the longer you wait, the worse off you'll be. No credit is actually worse than below average credit. Not sure why you like to have hotels and gas stations place large $200-$500 hold on your card instead, but good luck trying to buy a house. You're only hurting yourself.

OP said s/he refuses to -use- one, not necessarily that they don't have any. I refuse to use mine for anything except the bare base needs or absolute emergencies. Nothing wrong with not using one for every day simple purchases or online shopping.

@OP: That said, I'd suggest using a pre-paid, or if SE doesn't allow that, you can use prepaid to buy a time card from Gamestop.com Here, keep in mind that this method, they ship the actual card, so you'd need to buy ahead of time to get it before your sub runs out.

I bought my copy of FF14 through Steam. I pay for my subsction through that, which connects to PayPal which connects directly to my bank account. I hate using credit cards online.

For those of us that bought the game before it was released on steam, there is no paypal option. There is also no option for paypal in the mogstation, so there is officially no paypal option.

You have to buy Crysta through Ultimate Pay on your SE account management page. As the person above this post noted Pay Pal is there.

I am 31 my credit score is 763. I never owned a credit card in my life. Credit cards are one of the dumbest was to go about managing your money. There are better was to build your credit then getting a credit card.
