How am I supposed to pay the subscription fee?

[Rioszz]

I'm not sure about europe but in US you can get a paypal debit/credit card. You load money onto it the same way you would load money onto paypal and you can use the card like you would a debit/credit card. Maybe that is an option for you.

Check out this link, idk if it's available in europe but you can try.

This link is not available in Europe.

Anyway, i have the exact same problem.
No creditcard, only option possible being the paypal/add crysta option.

What square has failed to account for is that being able to buy a prepaid time card is not a subsitute for crysta, for which not only allows you to exchange for game time, but also the activation of additional retainers.

By recurring debit card subscription like everyone else?

I only have a debit card, not seeing the issue

That's great for you... you have one that works. Not all cards work for all systems. We ran into a similar thing years ago with XI, where if your card did not support J-Secure, Secure Visa, or Secure Code (MC version)... you couldn't use them. Then there were the banks that were rejecting the international transactions (or charging fees for various reasons--international transaction, conversion fee, wire transfer fee, etc.).

The point is that their implementations of the CC option are not as globally accepting as an option like the UP/Paypal was.

Camate posted in one of the other threads that they indeed are working on an option to bring back PayPal, he just didn't have any specific details that could be divulged at this time.

yes, I have a Visa card. You may have heard of them.

Nice selective reading skills... Completely ignoring the basic fact that there are plenty of people out there that either flat out can't get a card, or the card(s) they do have access to simply will not work with SE's setup..

And I have not only heard of Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express I have used all of them for years. And despite the fact I can actually buy a new car without financing, even I have on occasion run into problems getting transactions to go through with SE from time to time. There have been real issues with their processing causing problems for a long time... In some cases it even locked out regions of people.

That's the whole point. I am simply not legally allowed to have a credit card. End of the story. My debit card does not allow international transactions, that's exactly why I use paypal. It really is the ONLY way for me to make an international transaction. The one and only.

If I have to buy a prepaid card I'd pay for it with paypal too.

The joke is that a prepaid card raises the subscription from about 10 euros a month to about 15, and I'm not doing that.

I just want to be able to pay for my subscription with normal payment methods. Paypal is one of the most widely accepted payment forms on the internet and it has always worked up until now. Until they bring it back, square has lost me as a customer. There's just no other way for me to pay, if I had another option (besides a prepaid card) I'd use it, but there isn't.

Amazon is one of the if not the largest online retailer and they don't accept paypal just putting that out there.

I'm curious as to why SE doesn't want to make payments more convenient for a wider range of subscribers, don't they like money? lol

as for alternative payment methods, how about virtual card numbers? most banks I know (in relation to my RL job) offer it to their customers. basically, they'll generate a secure card # for you which you can use online. getting one might take a while though. but in my experience, you can get one in an instant, especially if you have online access to your bank statement. I do hope this issue gets resolved soon.

I´m From Latin America Colombia, and my way of pay was the Western Union in PlaySpan´s method... I don´t know what is the problem with that company, but Square Enix and FFXIV take out that option. In other words, in other 180 days (cuz im think pay early 180 days more and have the crysta save it for that) they lost a good and hardcore gamer... and i don´t Know how many gamers from Latin America or other Continents and Countries are lost with that imposition!

Oh! and Square Enix: No all the ppl and other countries have the posibility of get a Credit Card, and the foreigner debit cards is not allowed in their Country! you know right?
