Crysta may still be processed through the same company by default...but you can opt to go through PayPal instead. So if you can link the card through PayPal, it should go through even if Global Collect is monkeyed up from the direct processing attempts.

In the past it was a sort of workaround to the screwy j-secure and Click-n-Buy problems we had in XI. Hopefully it will still work now as it did then.
