Then i would enter the code, in FFXIV system, it would even show as $20 USD click confirm and STILL rejected (i guess cause my account was blocked from so many attempts). So I just called the PlaySpan number above from one of the steps.. waited 5 mins and the rep manually flushed my card balance into my FFXIV account.

He also said "Oh yeah, we've had a huge call volume increase since yesterday, FFXIV is having tons of issues with this".

Anyway, I'm back in and hope this helps someone else out.
I'm thinking I'm just going to have to try this. I don't even have any special circumstances around mine getting rejected. I'm in the NA on a NA account using cards issued in the NA. So there wasn't really any reason for my stuff to get blocked, but it was anyways. I actually had just got done buying something, i got the email saying it didn't work, so i tried on square and it failed. And I know the card wasn't blocked or anything on my end because i then used that same card to pay for lunch.
