Visa and mastercard prepaid users.Follow

seems western union prepaid visa cards support it, I might do one of those myself, if I decide to continue. someome also posted one for mastercard called miocard that supports the securecode.

Has this been confirmed? If so I am going to buy one tomorrow. I have been told several supports it only to look into it and I either cant register with verified by visa, or securecode. Maybe I should call the POL cust service center and ask them if they take american express...

Hmm...interesting lead to follow, but I would need to check it. Greendot is a mastercard though so I would have to use their crappy online service to check.

Green Dot Visa that I have is a big resounding no on supporting the code for Visa. However they do have a Mastercard version as well. Which I do not know. Checked earlier today.

I had the exact same conversation. XD

I use a Walmart Money Card, which I think is kind of like a prepaid Visa that you can refill whenever. It's not a good card to use for anything unless you work for Walmart, which I do. (Otherwise there are lots of fees, but for me it's free, and works out perfect because it can never be overdraft.)

So far I haven't had any problems and I use it for both of my characters' accounts AND my girlfriend's, though I am constantly worried something is going to happen any time now.

Credit Check? lol there isn't one Texas Based bank that requires a credit check. My problem is I live in a small town where the ONLY bank is the one inside a walmart here. I literally have to drive over 50 miles to get to another bank.

This thread just annoys me SO much. People needing to find new banks just to play just pisses me off. This is probably because when my Visa expires, I have to go find a new card since both mine don't qualify.

I can't believe even Pikko can now be counted amongst the hundreds of players with this same problem. Guess SE isn't taking Hawaii into account either. I bet there will be people from Alaska withb this same problem, I know of a few people in Puerto Rico having this very same problem. Wonder how things are going in Mexico or anywhere else people are using a US account to play and don't have the advantage of having a US bank to obtain a verifiable credit card from.

I'm using an Ace All-access Netspend MasterCard, issued by Inter National Bank. While it shows up in the securecode database, it rejects my credit card #. That's pretty depressing, as I've been using a Netspend MasterCard since I started FFXI in 2004, and pay all my other online bills and order computer parts with the same card. Guess I'm going to go through my mom's bank and just get a debit card.

Also, with my Netspend card, I've had a problem where EVERY month I have to re-input my info to pay my FFXI bill, regardless of whether I had the money on the card before the billing date or not. Giant PITA having to redo my content ID's every damn month. Only twice ever has it gone through on its own, and it double charged me each time (for the previous month and the next month). Also, sometimes I'll have my other account up, and I have to wait at least 24 hours between reactivating my main account before it'll take the card number again for my other account. SE's billing system is pretty weird about that, at least with the Netspend card.

I can understand why SE is doing this, it's going to kick fraud right in the ***, and literally cut the throats of the RMT business. It's irritating, yes, but in the long run I think we're going to see MUCH less RMT. I feel sorry for the poor bastards working for the POL Information Call Center over the next week, as I feel sorry for the poor souls that will spend 2 hours on hold. But hey it's alright, SE has already apologized for any inconvenience that has been caused!

Guess I'm taking a week or so off. Good luck yall.

it pisses me off too. What SE probably didn't realize is that this will most likely ***** all the NA importers in SG and EU players since a lot of the foreign banks don't do this Verify by Visa/Securecode and they're flagged as NA account. :/

I rarely post on these forums but this is my 2 cents from my own personal experience...

Just today i went through all this rigamarole to get my account reactivated and came up against this new -retarded- secure pay. I tried going to the website first and registering my pay as you go wal-mart visa card and it said it was not supported. So i said ***** it and went on with the updating my card thing, went to their verification website and just clicked next button and got the "your card has been verified please continue with play online registration" or whatever it says. thats my grain of salt, maybe it will help you (maybe you dont actually NEED the 3-d secure thing?)
