UnionRail Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I was going to buy Combat Mission Afghanistan today and when I went to check out. I found out that it said credit card for payment. Now I have a debit card and not a credit card. Do the mean I can only use a credit card or that means both? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 This somewhat depends on your issuing bank, but generally, a debit card won't work. However, you could also try selecting Paypal as payment method. On the Paypal page, you can select different sources of funding, and I believe Paypal may be able to accept your debit card, too. For support, you'd have to contact support@paypal.com however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 IIRC There's also a paypal option if using your card is no-goer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 You can purchase pre-paid cards in many countries and load them with dollars or euros. These are administered by the likes of Mastercard and I would imagine this is a good way to make overseas payments. Some card issuers are quite expensive bu the likes of Travelex say their Euro card in Europe is accepted at shops and ATM's. I am guessing that they would also work on-line. I think I migt get a dollar card also and see how it works out!. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnionRail Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I have heard stuff about PayPal and it did not sound good. My really question is well battlefront except debit cards? Oh I got a visa if that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 AFAIK Visa & Mastercard debit cards work exactly like credit cards, only you pay from your account when the bill comes through electronically - liek a cheque - in fact is it probably easiest to think of them as electronic cheques. As far as the shop is concerned there is no difference between them and a credit card - they use teh same systems, they get eth $$'s at the same time. And that's one of the main points about them - they are exactly the same as a credit card to use, but you have to have the money in your account first, not later on. FWIW this is how the fist credit card I ever had worked 30 years ago - it was a VISA, and the money came straight out of my cheque account! Preloaded cards also work exactly liek credit cards - except they have a limit to how much can be spent on them - which is the amount you pre-load them for. But this means you can give them as a gift - since het value travels with the card, and is not linked to an account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Back in the day I purchased CMBO, CMBB, and CMAK with a VISA debit card. That was a few years back, but I doubt that the policy has changed since then. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
