What extra fees? None on my end.

Then again, I've never understood the hate for both C&B and Crysta.

There's an 'exchange' fee for their transactions. We have 2 accounts (my bf plays too) so we weren't too pleased with that. Granted it's not much, but still, it adds up. Regardless, I don't like going through a third party just to pay someone. Always seem sketchy.

If you mean the three digit nuber on the reverse side of the card, the system definitely asks for that.

I'm not talking about the 3 digits. I'm talking about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-D_Secure
I work in e-Commerce Fraud Prevention, so I run into it every day.

My guess is that not all cards around the world have it.

Wondering why they didn't announce this..unless they did and I didn't see it. o.O;

They did say the new payment plans were coming very soon, but didn't announce a date. So still a surprise, but we knew it was coming up very soon.

I like the Crysta thing just fine, essentially makes the "Ultimate Gamer Card" that's everywhere where I live into a Final Fantasy XIV time card, sorta. If I suffer brain damage and decide to unsub, I'm not gonna cry over the spare change.

However, I'm extremely happy to hear this because it's one less obstacle to anyone deciding whether or not to try the game or come back.

About damn time. Welcome to 2000 SE.

There have been several occasions when FFXI Players have reported that an "International Transaction Fee" has appeared on their statments when a charge from ClickandBuy comes in. This fee is being charged by the bank, not ClickandBuy, and is in addition to the charge by ClickandBuy itself.

Square-Enix did announce at one point on the FFXI pages that the issue had been resolved. But I've seen new reports of continued charges of this "International Transaction Fee" when a ClickandBuy transaction comes in, both here on the FFXIV forums, and also the FFXI forums since that announcement. So it would appear it's not fixed.

More the reason to avoid ClickandBuy in spite of the fact the fee is the bank's doing.
