paying without credit card
« on: September 30, 2008, 06:05:03 AM »
hi,

does somebody pays without a credit card? maybe from europe? cause i don't have one and in germany it's not so easy to get one. I wanna play this game. i like it but i don't know how i can pay for the game. the support told me that i only can pay wiht credit card or by post. but if i pay from germany and put the money into a letter it will be take weeks until the money arrives.
is it possible to pay 2 accounts with one credit card? Does somebody from germany or europe can help me? E.g I can pay one week before the next payment. I would be pay you 2-3 dollar for your help. I can pay by paypal or bank.
I hope somebody can help me :)


Thanks a lot in advance....

You could send the cheque air mail and it should arrive in about a week.

I have paid HTC by cheque many times.  Airmail from the UK is usually 3 to 5 days.  I would imagine it's the same time scale from Germany. 

If you pay by cheque you can pay for long periods in advance.  HTC used to do a deal where you pay for 6 months in advance and get the 7th month free.  The thing I'm getting at is you do not have to pay 1 month at a time.  You could send a cheque for 2 months worth or 3 months .......up to you.

You can use money orders or postal orders if you don't have a cheque book / account

Maybe it would be an idea for HTC to accept paypal?. Just a thought.

It would make sence but pay pale would charge HTC for the transaction which he would have to pass on to the consumer.  He also faces managing the thing.

ok. thanks. i think paypal will be an easy way to pay for the game, maybe in future we can pay with paypal.
Does somebody can pay with his credit card? I assure you that I will pay a week before you have to pay with credit card.

PayPal suck big time. They can at any time place a hold on your account and hold all the funds for 180 days without giving you a reason.
This has recently happened to us.

OK chap....time for some straight talking.  Your making life hard for yourself.  Whilst I appreciate your desire to play and the convenience for you to mail money to a fellow German the next day, it is unreasonable to ask a complete stranger to use his credit card on your behalf.  The internet is full of less than honest people and to take the word of a complete stranger to pay 1 week ahead of an automated transactions is boarder line absurd.

Cut out the middle man and mail (post) your money straight to the USA.  It takes less than a week.  You clearly have a good understanding of English and make youself clearly understood.  Cheques, money orders, Postal orders are ALL accepted by HTC. 

If you don't have a bank account with a cheque book perhaps a parent, friend or work mate would be willing to write you a cheque payable to Hightecreation.  I'm having a hard time understanding why you don't want to deal with HTC direct.  Why you are intent on making the process of transferring money from point "A" to point "B" harder than it is.  Sorry if the following sounds cruel but if you are incarcerated it's all part of the lose of liberty....

I think i have to agree with Lynx on this one. Nockel your making this process WAAAYYY to hard.  I am a single father of four children, I pay by check and i pay six months in advance.  Yes, HTC does give the 7th month for free when you do this and believe me it is the most cost effective way to pay for this great game. 

just send a check.  even from Germany it will only take 3-4 days max and if you do it before your two week trial period is up then you don't lose any flying time.
