MWO seems to be turning down my purchase of MC though an American Express card. Any reasons as to why, since the page isn't showing any information.Used the same card on Steam with no issues.

I check the transaction history and there's x3 $1 by paypal, likely from here.


HiRez seems to have more information about this than PGI: http://hi-rez.custhe...ore-payment-faq

I cant buy MC cash either. When I enter my credit card info, it doesn't advance to the next screen where you enter billing address and such....

Been getting this problem too. The site won't accept my credit card or instant transfer from my checking account via paypal.

Don't worry. PGI will get onto these issues a lot quicker than they will ECM balance. I predict a 24hr solution.

email support@mwomercs.com

their 3rd party payment system uses a rubbish location checker based on IP address and it ends up rejecting a lot of first attempts or repeated attempts if you've changed location since you last bought, or your location doesn't match what they think it should be for the card you are using

if you email support they can whitelist your account to bypass the location checker

don't bother emailing playspan or ultimatepay, they are rubbish and will just fob you off with a stock "not our problem must be you" email

Yea this is ridiculous. I try to give PGI my money but they use some hilariously inefficient third party purchase service? Thanks for charging my account three separate times for $14.95 and not even give me my MC when I only tried to purchase it once. Not only that, but I kept receiving a "card declined" message, so I shouldn't have even been charged. Phoned my bank, they said everything was fine on their end and that they will absolutely dispute the charges for me. It's things like this that make me wary of trying to support this game.

American Express is listed in the icons, but UltimatePay does not support AmEx (see their website).
I made a PayPal account recently and will try with that.

you can also use paypal express checkout without creating an account, and that also accepts AmEx, which is probably why the icon is listed

Maybe you shouldn't be using stolen cards.

Can't use PayPal to buy MC. I used to do it once at 16 Jan, but after that up to now it just shows in transaction history of my paypal acc. that it was declined to authorize to playspan.com to pay them money.

Anyone have any idea when this will be fixed. It's getting a bit annoying.

Having the same issue.

It was quite frustrating for me to not be able to fast grind mechs by buying them during this double XP weekend.

I don't know if Piranha Games realize they're losing a LOT of money.

You guys seem to get further than I do. At least you can put in your card info. After I choose the amount I want that stupid little window comes up, and consistantly fails to load. Its trying to say my internet isn't connected, which obviously is NOT the case.

i just tried to buy MC and it was not added to my account but they charged my card already. So far im already not liking this and probably wont make another purchase with them. I may just call my bank to dispute the charge.

Hmm, just bought MC over Paypal and it's refusing to acknowledge that i've bought them despite completing everything? Hope there's a quick fix.

Add me to the list of those who cannot purchase MC. I tried to purchase some the past 2 days using 1) Paypal Account 2) Paypal Express Checkout...using my same card but without logging in 3) Mastercard

With the Paypal checkouts, the payment is immediately listed as rejected by the seller. With my Mastercard the transaction processes and there is a hold shown on my card account, but then it is reversed after a few hours.

Very annoying.

email support@mwomercs.com

all payments are handled by playspan who have this location based fraud detection thing in place - if you've ever used your credit card or paypal account from more than one location it calls hackz on you and declines the payment

if you email support they will white list your account to bypass the location check

You know, Funny thing is i succesfully bought from playspan for the MWTactics closed beta founders a week ago.

Yet it is still not working even if i was whitelisted over a week ago for both games.
