WARNING!!!!

Origin DOES NOT accept prepaid VISAS or PREPAID Credit cards.

You cannot use this method of payment through ORIGIN!

I am posting this in general to make sure it is seen and so that others don't go out and get one thinking they can get anything from Origin this way.

    No great game guarantee either. You buy it-you keep it.

    Is Outdoor Retreat sold exclusively through Origin or can you get it through Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc? If you can get it through someone else they may accept prepaid cards.

    Just checked Amazon - not available.

    Has anyone used the EA E-Cash card?

    Umm... while I still don't understand the prepaid card culture--how can they tell the difference?

    Not everyone has a credit card. Shame that they don't accept prepaid cards though.
    Hoping some day for some toddlers. But also dreading they'll never come. JK THEY ARE HERE!

    Pre-paid cards don't always require a billing address. I think some retailers won't accept them because of this.

    I have an Amex gift card, but they don't take Amex either.

    To quote my Grandfather ( an old money tycoon) ""Plum"holes live on credit"

    So, no credit cards for me.

    Strange, i can't image EA ever turning down money
  • Katlyn2525Katlyn2525 Posts: 4,201 Member
    I guess it is your charge card or a game card. I am going to pass for now.

    I've lived my whole life without a credit card and don't want one. I use prepaids when I want something offline. Like I was able to get sims 4 through Amazon with it. But Origin is not accepting it.

    I am angry!

    Use your card through paypal, that's what I do when they stopped accepting prepaid. Setting up an account is easy.

    I got my paypal account hacked once, thank God the bank caught it - paypal said there was no hack - so no more paypal ever

    Different rules apply for different countries. We don't get EA cash cards or Sim cards or anything like that.

    The cvp or cpv (whatever it is called) code on the back I believe.

    Different set of allocated card numbers. They can also tell whether you have a U.S. address card or a non-U.S. address card, etc.

    As far as I know they said it was going to be an Origin exclusive. Cut out the middle man. I believe (JMHO) they will be going digital only for this game! Only time will tell. :(
    It's the trend ya know!

    It's usually the prepaid cards themselves that have restrictions on digital or online transactions afaik. Which means that it can be different for different cards.
