Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[Praeses]

Thanks to this thread, I finally was able to solve the 401 and give SE money.

It was simply by changing browsers. Just use a browser that have no extensions running.

I have to say Square should be applauded for the absolute contempt with which they treat customers who are trying to give them money. A 100 page thread...no response from Square at all. I've deleted the game and reported Square to my financial institution for fraud, I encourage everyone to do the same.

So, after weeks of trying different cards, changing accounts, different banks, different browsers, different methods, I finally found a 100% fool proof way to get around this problem...

Quit trying and play a different game!!!

No really... But I did figure something that worked for me anyway.

Go sign up an account for UltimatePay (I couldn't actually log in, but I had the account made)
Then I went and bought Crysta and when it asked me for payment method I always tried my debit/credit card to no avail, I received the same errors as given by the MogStation...
So instead, I used UltimatePay as a method of payment even though I had no game card or anything other than an account made
I put in my information and boom, it worked, I was able to buy crysta and use it to get in

So 2 weeks later...

Was it worth it? Probably not, this is one annoying system

Ya I waited for 30 days to finally use my CC and did whatevee I wanted , Im not sure that I wont face it again also not sure if there will be someone who can wait 30 days like me .

It sad to have waste so much time of my sub just wating , but I had MGS to play with XD .

Do whatever SE to make it easy for us to give you our money .

I was feeling a bit nostalgic and was willing to pay the subscription fee just to goof around for a few hours tonight only, but if they're not even going to bother resolving an issue like this, there's no way in hell I'm going to jump through hoops for the privilege of wasting my money.

Screw you SE, was a decent game but you've officially killed it in my mind, you're hereby written off, good luck with that "screw the customers" business model.

I've been subbed for most of the time since the 2.0 release and only yesterday did I start getting these errors and now they just won't stop. No matter which payment option I pursue, It's impossible to get it to go through. I'm beyond frustrated, but the fact there's a thread this big with so little comment by Square makes the whole matter borderline hilarious.

So this is the CC i was always using never got the error codes before whys it happen now? i called the bank so dont tell that lie. is there any fix for this yet?

[Arcos]

Just signed up to the forums to add what's already been linked to above -- browser add ons may be a part of the problem regarding error 601. I downloaded Opera real quick to test it out after trying out three different cards and et voila, worked on the first try. I hope it does for at least some of you, as well.

My 401 problem is still unresolved. Trying to buy phials of Fantasia. No reply from the support either (third email just sent!), and I've waited for about a week now since I sent the first one. Tried everything humanly possible to fix this, and I keep trying every day - making sure I'm not getting a credit card block of some sort. Changing browser, disabling add-ons, contacting my bank to ensure everything is okay, trying to buy Crysta instead (ugh, I really don't like that crap!)... Nothing works. What are they thinking with this horrible payment system?!

I give up...

Bought an ultimate game card and tried to top up using that code and it still failed. Seriously?
