Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[MadMomo]

tried visa virtuon and master card, none worked, always error 601.
i cant try more because i see some poor people getting 30 days ban, yet i cant log because today is my last day of subscription, i'm so happy.

you know how i feel? exactly like when i want to spoon feed my baby nephew and he says "uh uh don't want".
like, Dude take my money! "sorry i cant, i'm having an issue atm"

The ability to pay with ANY credit card is blocked from your account for 30days. So in essence, yes your account is blocked from any time of debit/credit type payment. If you try with a new card, you will increase your blocked time on every single attempt.

Ok peeps, im off to play GW2 while I wait for Wildstar to come out, a real shame cause I really liked this game. I wouldnt be so mad if Ultimatepay was an option in my country, but alas SE hates money.

Thanks everyone in this thread for being so informative...Peace!

Don't buy Ultimate Game Cards, you can't claim in because Square Enix doesn't give the option to Oceanic players. Buy the 60-day Game Time Cards specifically for Final Fantasy XIV: ARR. It's probably better to buy them online since EB games sells them for $40 and you can get it for something more like $33 off random European shops. Of course, they only work if you're if you have the EU version, but Australians are supposed to be using the EU version. I've given up on automatic renewal because they're obviously not fixing their billing system.

do you have a trust-able website where i can buy online 60-day game time cards for ffxiv from plz?
in trust-able i mean worked for you, not your fault if i get scammed ^^

Did you use a particular site for this? I heard stories about people buying prepaid cards only for them not to be accepted. I'm Oceanic (Australia) and my account is tied to the EU version.

Damn it SE; take my money already!

Just to note, it's a bit unintuitive. It times you waiting, but you really just have to click a link to collect from autokey as soon as you've purchased it.

And just so I'm not confusing people into wasting their money, this only works if your account is EU version

I was having this issue for the past couple of weeks. The response I got from Customer Support was basically "We don't know, please try again"

Turns out the problem was me trying to subscribe for 180 days. I wanted all the benefits and I didn't want to keep remembering to pay. I finally selected 30 days and it went through. After countless tries, different methods with different cards.... it finally went through.

So try that. Just pick the 30 day option in the Subscription select option in the Mogstation.

I too am unable to give SE my money. My faith in this company's capacity to run a game like this has steadily been dwindling.

Also note that when purchasing frmo CJS CDKEYS (link a few posts above) they do not inform you if the product is sold out or not. I have currently purchased a key, and I am unaware when and if I will get my key at all.
