Payment Method Registration Errors [Error Code 401 and 601]

[CamiBajhiri]

Just another 406 error here. My account's been down since the 9th. Tried using 2 different CCs & nope, nada, they don't seem to want my money... Currently waiting for chat support to see what the blazes is going on but from the looks of this thread, I can expect a whole lotta nothing... Doesn't SE want to take the 6 month sub fee I've been waiting to throw at them???

Edit: An hour & a half waiting for live chat wasted. They have no plans on a fix for this anytime soon. They're pushing hard for crysta usage. See you online??? Ha, not very likely! Extremely dissatisfied with this service...

Not a suggestion either because buying crysta also fails with treacherous 401/406 error.

Tried to update my payment information today as my previous information is for a card that doesn't exist anymore. Address matches exactly what is on file with my bank. I'm seeing $1 charges hit my bank account, still get a 406 error.

This is obnoxious. I just want to play the game with my gf but that is turning out to be impossible. Very annoying. If people want to give you money for your services, most companies make that possible. Doesn't seem like that is the case with SE as this thread is pushing triple digits in pages.

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.

I tried to make the payment yesterday, and is giving me that error and also have taken me 1 euro per attempt bank to pay, it's a shame really, every time I try to play gives me problems is to denounce them. The worst thing is that this error and seen so been giving since last year ...

I understand that my early access has ran out and I need to renew my account. But I am unable to do so when I cant use my credit card and I am getting charged a dollar for each attempt. I contacted my bank and they say there are no problems with my card. I contact FFXIV customer service and stay on the line for an hour on hold and no one ever answers. I've even sent multiple emails and still no response. So now I cannot even pay to play their game. Worst customer service ever.
