123833-payment-question

== Content ==
			I was going to ask a rep about this, but I thought maybe someone would know. Also I need a quick response. My friend has a Wildstar Game Time card, and when I signed up I had to put in payment info. My friend wants to join, but I am wondering if the requirement is still there. Any ideas?

you need to set up subscription to play and you have 3 ways of doing it.
 
first one put your credit card info, you can delete it later and wont be charged until your 30 days that come with the retail box are over
 
second one, you can use a gamecard code on top of your retail box codce and the set up subscription is bypassed
 
third one you can put a ticket explaining your situation, that you dont have acces to a credit card, never had one and wont have acces  to it in a near future, but you want to use your 30 days that come with the retail box you already bought, explain this with the most details, the people at carbine support will understand and bypass this process (but when your 30 days end you must put some kind of payment method)
 
without set up a subscription you cant use your 30 days (i know thats dumb cause you already payed for the retail box but thats the rule)

I will teach my friend the visa gift card trick. I use it all the time with iOS. I dunno why but iOS makes you keep a card on file. Anyway, just buy a visa gift card at any Walgreens, and deplete all money on it. Simple.
 
Edit: Now that I think about it, number 2 sounds best. That is really what I was asking. His aunt gave him 60 day time card before he got the game. I guess he said he wanted the game, but she may have thought he had it already. That is what WoW does. You can buy the game, the buy 60 days. As long as you have time, they don't care, and they give you the 30 days. At least that is how my friend described it. Anyway he wants to pay with time cards only. If it does not work, I'll tell to buy a visa giftcard, buy $25 worth of something, then add it to his account.
