Payment options?

can't use my Japanese credit card because they use some weird security system only a few companies have opted into.

Who do you have your Japan card through? By last year, all of the Japan visa/mc issuers were required to provide compliance with the MC SecureCode or Verified by Visa program. (There's also one for JCB) You just need to have setup your online statement viewing and the same username/password combo is used for the verification screen, in most cases. I have two visa cards from SMBC and one MC from MUFJ.

Anyway... SE supports all three.

Rakuten. I can view my statement online, but when I try to use the card on mogstation, it never even asks for a username and password, just says it's not compatible with the security system, check with your creditcard company.

Have never had any issues with it anywhere else.

Thanks for your reply. That's quite strange, Rakuten supports the extra security stuff, strange that your card won't work with it. I'd go complain! lol....

I took a quick scan of chiebukuro, there are some complaints floating around. So, you aren't the only one.

Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful. At least they sell the game cards at the convenience stores (some?) and there's always web money cards.

Interesting! Thanks for checking At least it's not just me, haha. I should probably try again sometime. I am lucky there are always game cards and web money, but for both of those I have to go to the combini so wanting to use a credit card is pure laziness
