Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[XioNightshard]

I think it was NoScript more than AdBlock, unless something changed on SE's side. I had error code 601 though, not 401 or 406. If you try too many times, they lock your account though.

Nothing seems to be working for me either. Error Codes 406 and 401. Not sure what to do next except wait

I've tried using my own credit card as well having a friend try to use his. Neither option worked. I wasn't able to add Crysta to my account either.

For everyone on this tread trying to look for a solution to this issue I have done a lot of things to resolve this problem. I will list everything I have done as this might be not just one problem. I believe the issued as of today (4/7/14) it has been fixed some how.

1. Your browser maybe blocking a script or Java app.
Some one mentioned this so I removed add blocks and lower the security to allow everything to run (remember to put back to default after you try this). Also updated Java just in case. Also I have tried on another computer and Iphone. This was not my problem but could be yours.

2. The bank of your card is blocking payment because they believe its from a fraud vendor. Just call your bank to see if they noticed the $1 charges on your card and ask if they are blocking payment from that vendor. I got a call from my Chase bank the next day and had to tell them to allow it. (It still did not work for me after I allowed it)

3. If the top options fails then try getting Crysta using paypal ( Id recommend this as you do not see the $1 charges for attempts, paypal just declines the payment if it doe not work which happened to me) Tried today and it worked, it did not work the first 2 times last week.

4. IF all else fails I did have a backup plan which was just to get a time card and because I do not like shady sites I would recommend Amazon.com. Just look up Final Fantasy 14 and in the items there should be a 60 day time card for like $30. (Last time I checked it was there. Never did this option so do not ask me about it if it does not work. I had heard other people call support and force the code in to work but that's about it. The card did say PS3 but from the comments it looks like it works for PC also and that the time also add on to your Vet rewards. Hope this helps anyone.

Just thought I'd add my experience. Hopefully someday they'll stop pretending it's not their fault and fix this.
I keep getting error 406.
I already called my credit card company who said they could see the $1 charge getting cancelled by the merchant. There was nothing wrong with my card nor was there any blacklist against SE.
I have definitely waited more than 24 hours. But since support won't tell me, I don't know if I'm on 30 days block. How many times is "too many" to try using my card? 4? 8?
I tried buying Crysta using my credit card: fail
buying Crysta using ultimate pay>credit card : fail
buying Crysta using ultimate pay>paypal : fail

Honestly why is Crysta even an option? Why does it even exist?
All that's left for me to try is buying the time card. But for the same amount of days I want to add (180 days), I'm paying $12 more.

If I can buy multiple items on Amazon using different credit cards and addresses, why is it so hard for me to buy 1 item off SE? I don't get it. I'm practically throwing money at you! TAKE IT ;_;

Exactly my experience.
I had to go out to Best Buy and pick myself up a 60 days game card.

This is not cool SE..

that's so weird , I guess I don't have to tell my story , I need to tell how I feel , it was supposed to be my last day on ps3 , the day when echo comes and helps to take down Twintania , and next step move to ps4 , but Im so down now , though Im back to the game ,after 2hours of nothingless ,I still need my 10 euros back lol for .... I dont know how it is even possible the transaction fee is taken and the subscription is NOT !! wow , and I cant play without my retainers !!! they have my items they have my tasks ,oh man I liked them...the same card I payed for them 1 week ago doesn't work today .... why...

I got my account going completely fine, but when I tried to get my account of my wife active again I was stopped at every turn by 406 error. I don't think I've ever tried so hard to give someone my money, namely having to try it on Internet explorer instead of firefox. To be perfectly honest the billing set up for this game is ugly at best and a CF at worst. It has you enter payment options only for you to have to re-enter it when you go to use a card, and it doesn't even work. I shouldn't -have- to set up a paypal account to give you guys money. We shouldn't have to jump through several loops just to enjoy ourselves.

I hate saying it but take a note from Trion or Blizzard on your payment setups. They're easy, straight forward and doesn't end up with situations like this.

I hope this silence of SE mean they are trying to finde another way for us to pay .... I realy hope this is the case not they dont care to fix it .

I bought the game Final Fantasy 14 on the portuguese playstation store and the game isnt working. I start the game , then insert the password and then it tells me to restart my client account. I emailed square enix, i tried to register my account many times, the first time i thought i did it then i ever recieved the email. I tried again to register and now it asks for my credit card information. Im on PS4, what else can i do , im not even sure if theyre trying to fix it, nor do i know if they recieved my email. Im very disappointed with square enix. At least they could email their clientes and let them know that they recieve the email and are trying to fix it. Any help would be welcome. I feel like i just wasted 50 euros and the whole day trying to figure out what is causing this problem.
