Unable to use Visa debit (north American)

[Reinha]

Mao curious. Why nots want credit card? Is good way to build up credit score and nots has to use if nots want to.

A numeric credit score one has to build up isn't a thing in my country. A credit card may have extra costs associated with it depending on the bank and they are often not given to people who don't have a steady source of income. When I last asked my bank about getting one I was a student and my husband was working part time so the response was a plain "no". Which is not a big deal as I have never had trouble affording things with direct payments, but some online payment systems seem to work under the assumption everyone can just use a credit card.

Mao understands now. Mao lives in Canada so Mao nots know that other regions do things differently. For Mao, to has credit rating meant that over the years Mao was ables to get loans for car and house. Mao now knows from what peoples say here that things differents elsewhere. Mao thanks everyone whats respond to Mao question.

I must say that this gimmick is some powerful trolling

I'm also Canadian (big surprise, right?) and Mao is right.
It also works similarly in America which due to circumstances I live in now.

But SE can't change my address to US, we can only edit street addresses, I am likely going to be denied using my credit card. Even buying Crysta via my credit card will probably have some issues, though I'm holding out that maybe all this negative press will make them change something.

A friend of mine was in a similar situation and was very close to losing their house just two days ago.
Their solution, for now, was to buy the Xbox version of the game with a friends Xbox because they could use the FFXIV coins as they can be used for game time.
It's... not a great solution! Luckily my billing period isn't until mid-July so I have 2ish months before I find out how bad it'll be for me.

it is the very VERY rare times that I am happy I am through Steam since I am in Canada too.. so I guess until Steam changes something.... I can live with their awkward system

It's insane to me that in 2024, SE is expecting everyone to live forever in the country they originally created their SE account with. Like, you have to wonder if anyone stopped to think that through.

let's be honest. Most people will die in the country where they are born

They're just notoriously bad at accepting people's money, unfortunately.

This, is one of those times.
