Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[danizzle]

My workaround for the treacherous 401/406 error is buying the Ultimate Game Card and using that to pay for crysta. Then use that Crystal to purchase subscription of FF14. It's a tedious process but this seems to work for me every time. I also get 401/406 error when I try to use my credit card to purchase Crysta directly from the Square Enix Account Management site.

So...

1. Purchase Ultimate Game Card from pcgamesupply (You get the codes immediately)
2. Purchase Crysta using Ultimate Game Card from Square Enix Account Management Site
3. Log into Mog Station and purchase subscription using Crysta

Sadly, with the discontinuation of the Ultimate Game Card this work around is no longer possible... and the official FF time cards actually are more costly per month than if a longer subscription is purchased with crysta or a card that would work through the site... also they are out of stock at PCgamesupply anyhow for official FFcards for US customers...

*le sigh*

Please, please someone tell me this will be repaired so that in the future there are payment options that are available directly rather than through vast work-arounds and the precarious juggling of multiple account transactions.

I'm certain I am not the only one that feels like it would be nice if preloaded debit and gift cards were accepted as well instead of the current (and dreaded) 401/406 issues.

I don't know why Square doesn't just use Sony's Playstation Network to help with the payment for the PS3, PS4 users. We bought the game through PSN with no problems.. makes absolutely no sense why it shouldn't with any other payment system. I am living overseas temporarily but have had no problems with any other payment systems (iTunes, Amazon, Steam, Playstation Network, etc.) Gotta get that payment system working guys at SE...

Just came back after the free weekend. Tried to renew my sub when I knew I had the funds in my account.

Got the 406 error twice... and not one comment on "Oh we're taking £1 from your account." which they did twice so I know it's not a bank/card issue. And now from what I've seen I can't use my card again for 30 days because of this error.. great.

I was looking foward to levelling today but looks like I can't. Back to World of Warcraft for me then since I can't log on or resub for 30 days since I only have my debit card.
