method of purchase question

Claybor · 03-09-2007, 06:13 PM

Can the game be purchased with one of the credit card type gift cards?

You'll get your official answer soon enough, but I would seriously doubt that you can purchase with a gift card. Most online purchase stores will not honor them. I wanted download some music after getting a gift card last year, only to find out it could not be used.

Any particular gift card?

Claybor · 03-09-2007, 06:29 PM

Well, you tell me. If one will work I will get it. :]

I didn't have any particular one in mind.

Marc Duffy · 03-09-2007, 06:30 PM

Go find one and tell me the name and I'll find out

Claybor · 03-09-2007, 06:33 PM

OK, will do asap. Thanks.

The VISA gift card should work. It acts just like a VISA credit card in most cases. As long as the gift card has the VISA logo, an expiration date, and the Card Security Code you can use it to purchase. The Card Security code is the 3 digit printed (not embossed) code on the back of the card.

The OOTP pre-order does not require the Credit Card's zip code, so it should work fine. Some vendors require the zip code which makes these gift cards difficult to use online.

Mark, can you confirm that a visa gift card will work?

Just some links for the Visa gift card if Marc needs a reference point

Banks usually offer them directly as well. Here is Charter One's gift cards, they say that their cards are accepted anywhere Mastercard is.

Bumping this topic. I still could use an answer if possible.

VISA gift cards should work but the gift card value must exceed the total transaction value or the transaction will not go through.

The gift cards are treated as a credit card but with a fixed limit value that can't be exceeded.

Thanks Marc.
