Strange I cant seem to locate a way to pay for anything using the various cards that are out there.. its either credit card, or paypal.. YET oddly when I click the purchase now function for the pre-order I can use the points I have left over from other games.. 'You have an UltimatePoints balance you could use for this transaction.' .. I want to just purchase it this way, but not 100% sure if It will work correctly.. Anyone buy the game using this method?

p.s The cards I use are the Ultimategamingcards you can pick up at CVS.. Works alot better for tracking what I play then, to use my credit card every month =)

Because its beta? Maybe? You dont "buy" the game, or subscription time. Duh...

You can, however, buy Founders Packs. And when the game progresses, you will be able to buy things in the game store as is common in F2P games. His question is well-asked, whether prepaid cards will be allowed to work with the game.

you basically can´t even "preorder" the game, since it will be free to purchase...founders program is a kickstarter program, and we get stuff in return...

and maybe its not that easy to bring the proper infrastructure up while MWO is still a not released game... i guess we can be happy that paypal/playspan are available, and not like a few years ago "credit card needed"... other methods sure will be available, as the game and everything around it progresses... i am hoping for paysafe cards, as there is a vending machine just before my door :P

Yup that was what I was asking, skabb is just an *****.. As it lets you use it but doesnt ' state ' you can, I wanted to make sure.. Normally there would be a list for it when you click the ' buy now option ' .. As its the same exact system I already use for World Of Tanks! Thanks!

Probably best to ask Playspan... cause you're not going to get anything but "silly" responses here.. unless you luck out and find someone who did pay that method..... which I feel is unlikely (to find someone reading this forum, that is)..

I don't see why it wouldn't work if it's giving you the option..
