SEA players and resident of US/EU, how are you paying subs right now after the change

[Minali]

SE really hates people's money it seems.

[Kosachi]

I no longer live in the country I was living in when I made my account so I can't change it. (Same region however, just hopped one border over). I just tested it now and if you have the steam version of the game, you can pay with your steam wallet with zero issues despite the address on the account being my old residence.

Okay, so outside of the VISA problem, I've encountered another problem.

There new method of payment doesn't accept "Carte bleu" shorten to "CB". But CB represents right now 65% of French payment Method, they just blocked 2 third of French outside of FF.
And we have Visa or Mastercard with or without "CB" and the ones with it doesn't work anymore despite being VISA or Mastercard...

Nobody in my FC is allowed to pay for anything sub or FFXIV shop.

Dawntrail gonna be something else, I guess...

Yeah, from the looks of it a lot of players world wide is having issues with the payment. Honestly I have little hope that they will fix it before Dawntrail.

For players whose regions are not supported, back in the day you can put a US address and still be able to use your debit/credit card, buy crystal or time card.

i do this sort of thing, not only im unable to add game time now
but a pop-up error message is shown as i logged in which i never see before

My friend had issues with mog station (US) forcing him to update address. I had to use real US address to fix it. It works for now...

Sub renewal in 2 days. Will update if I bump into issues. Both of us from Malaysia.

My friend's Visa Debit card which is attention to his subscription went through perfectly fine today. Mine renews the 5/15 and I haven't touched the card or any of the info for my sub payment for years, so crossing fingers it goes through ok.

Amazon pay/paypal/visa debit card I had issues with today and only thing that seemed to work for me was buying a timecard on Amazon. I tried every method/fix to try to bypass issues and time cards seem to only work for me for now.

[Avoidant]

My Visa card is still getting rejected.

Same goes for SEPA in Germany. A common method for paying here. This is just outrageous.

Yep. And even if you have a card that is both Carte Bleue and Visa, it won't work. Customer support just confirmed this to me.

This is incredible. Business people at SQEX can't possibly be happy with this either, because as a rule you never want to make people jump through extra hoops to pay you (since it gives people more opportunities to reconsider).
