This may not be the right boards to post this, but here goes:
I've been unable to logon to FFxi for a month now due to CC issues. I have 2 CC's here in brazil, a Visa (which i only use to pay FFxi and online crap), and an American Express card, which is my day-to-day card.
In any event, my Visa card was cloned last month, and whenever crap like that happens in brazil they make out a big ass deal for nothing, so they blocked the card till this shit gets settled, which may take forever.
Now, i was gonna get another card, a mastercard or whatever to pay FFxi, but in brazil you can't get a card without a "fidelity" thing, where you have to sign a contract stating you'll use the cc for at least 6 months. As some of you know, i'm moving to the US in september, so that's out of the question.
My Amex card is just fine, but bullshit SE sayes the 3% fee return on it is way too high, so they don't take it (wow and other games do, go figure), so i'm in quite a conundrum.
So a couple weeks ago i phoned my grandparents in the US, and asked if they couldn't get me a debit card, those disposable ones, so sure enough, yesterday in the mail it gets here (stunned the mail only took 2 weeks, usually takes 2 months). So i have a shiny new "Chase Gift Card", with $150 worth of debit till it runs out.
Now, i know you can pay ffxi with a debit card, but this one doesn't have a name tag on it, i have no adress for it or anything. Instead of the name, it sayes "A GIFT FOR YOU", so when i try to pass it through the billing thing on POL it sayes the adress is off, which is quite obvious since i don't have one for this card.
So my question is, has anyone tried to pay FFxi with a disposable card like the one i have? And if so, what was the procedure?
Also, any light on the situation would be nice. Primarily i'm trying to logon cause i have an omega set stuck on my character from my LS, and that makes me feel kinda guilty, especially since this sort of crap wouldn't happen anywhere else aside fucking Brazil.
Anywho, i thank you in advance, and hopefully i can pay with this Debit GiftCard i got, or else i'll have to figure something out......
