Title: Payment Option wish.
Post by: thedoom26 on December 16, 2013, 05:46:47 PM
How about having a pay-pal Option, Because not everybody has a credit card, Like me, so i half to end up buying 25-50 doller pre paid cards to be able to play. I dont think this is a bad wish, it wont change any gameplay or anything....lol

You know you can walk into a walmart, buy a prepaid credit card and you are set? It works just like a credit card, you can add money on it anywhere you go or use it like a credit card.

No offense, but you don't need a credit card for Aces, a prepaid card anyone can buy (not sure about the age restrictions however, your parents might need to buy it and then you can add money on it).

Simply goto a convient store, give the clerk $20 and you are set.

Having a PayPal option would help those outside of the US where payment options are more limited.

You can also Pre-pay for "x" amount of months with an all-might money order!

Heard a bottle of scotch will get you three months though... Could be wrong...

its a good idea +1.......but ya gotta love  the goofy response of one guy who says....7 hours from walmart...thats 500 miles.....lol...maybe in weirdo fantasy world.maybe he dosent know that some of us live in area's where there are no super hiways. and that average speed through small towns and mountain roads is about 25mph.  7 hours may be a bit far,maybe its round trip.  i know i am 2 hours to walmart...and that means i have to spend a bout 4 hours to go to walmart,plus gas and time.....its not worth it for a pre paid card. which is why i mail my payment in. one thing pay pal does for you is a currency converter.so if in another country,it may help

no way walmart can be the only store that sells prepaid cards.  around even the hot dog stand in the corner will sell you pre-paid cards.  within a mile of my house there's a 7-11, 2 liquor stores, 3 grocery stores, 2 pharmacies, and 2 check cashing places.  all sell prepaid cards.  I even think the two banks will sell you prepaid cards too.

That's all fine and dandy when you live in a city, but live in rural areas and you'll see that pre-paid cards aren't that easy to come by.

not even your local gas station sells them?  when I drove up to lake tahoe, i passed by many little towns otw.  I stopped for food and gas and saw the calling cards and prepaid cards right behind the counter.

but anyway pre-paid cards are a money pit.  it's too expensive to use.  I just use my bank card.

PayPal does't require a bank account.  I currently have a PayPal account, but there isn't a bank account tied to it, just my prepaid card.  I think it will limit you on how many purchases you can make and how much, but with what I generally buy using it (which is very little), it doesn't affect me.

Even if you live off grid like me, you still have to go to town every once in a while (I am 40 minutes from the nearest grocery store or 25 minutes to the nearest gas station). Put it this way, I generally don't even take my truck, I just cross country an ATV because its faster.
Were not exactly riding horses to town that takes a full day, if I can manage from where I live then anyone can.

Yu should expect goofy responses from me. But still, with an outrageous claim of 7 hours to get to a walmart I think an outrageous response is warranted. And I don't believe that average speed would ever be 25mph. I'm assuming ave speed of at least 60mph even on normal roads. Unless you mean to tell me that they didn't lay tarmac on any of the roads on this epic adventure to walmart.

This.


Seems in this discussion it's overlooked that it's not just an American game, but has a world wide player base.
Over here for example, credit cards in any form are less common than in the US. and people are generally more reluctant to use it online. In other countries it's much worse, and stuff like international money orders are quite a hassle.


And no, there are no Walmarts here at all... they tried to break into the market several years ago and failed big time  :P

:airplane: I have for the past 15 years, used PayPal to service some of my accounts! They ask you for a credit card number, or bank account info. A third method is having PayPal issue you a PayPal credit card which is kept on file with PayPal and bingo, your monthly dues to Aces High is automatically deducted from that card.

Back when Aces High was 29.95 a month and I was a poor college kid, I paid with Money Orders. I didn't even have a bank account. LOL!
