I can confirm that 'physical' Ultimate Game Cards work for adding Crysta...they will decline initially but as mentioned in another thread you have to call PlaySpan (650) 432-3200 to add the transaction to SE manually.

This workaround is F'ing ridiculous and I was seriously on the verge of just quitting over it, but whatever.

I tried 3x Credit Cards, 2x Debit Cards, 2x PayPal sources, CC through Ultima +Crysta and buying UGC from Walmart (which also declines)...I finally just drove to Gamespot and nabbed some cards and went through the PlaySpan call process.

Good luck all, this is horrible.

..also, the reason for the Ultimate Game cards declining is because of a 48h Ultimate pay lockout they put on the system after a certain number of failures. Whether this is tied to the SE card add 601 lockout, I doubt it..but you never know.

lets give SE a break if we can find the solution ourselves? WE HAVE GIVEN THEM NOTHING BUT BREAKS! I hope they crash and burn.
