alternate payment method?

So I'm currently living in Korea, my bank card doesn't work for overseas purchases nor does my bank account work with paypal. I really wish there was a wire transfer payment option...a bank account number with a swift code in case of international payments. If ts wanted to make this an option for people only purchasing a year subscription at copper or above at a time, I would certainly purchase a years copper subscription...  I might not even be the only one with this dilemma...

  • Do you have a friend with a working bank card or paypal account who could make the payment for you and you could reimburse them?

  • pre paid credit cards.

  • TS will probably add more payment options once were out of BETA, I hope. :)

    Things such as: Paysafe Cards, bank transfers, pay by SMS, iDEAL, and etc would all be appreciated.

    Currently the only method for buying subscriptions is with credit cards, I hope this will change in the future. But for now, I guess i'm stuck buying credits seperately, even though i'd prefer to get a sub.

  • Syrup, how can you buy credits without using exactly the same payment methods that are required for subs?

  • I don't use Credit Cards, but I do have money on my PayPal.

    When purchasing credits you can make the purchase using your PayPal balance; when purchasing a subscription, you cannot pay using your paypal balance. Even if you choose the PayPal option, you have to link a credit card to your PayPal account to do it.

    The reason being, PayPal doesn't allow automatically recurring payments without a credit card attached. However, if you wish purchase whole year subs at once, you can pay directly from your PayPal balance, just as you would credits, because it's a one-time payment.

  • It would be nice if we could buy blocks of subscription time up front (i.e., pay for 3 months at a time).  The kind of credit card I have doesn't allow recurring monthly payments,  and I can't really afford to pay for an entire year.  I'm sure there are many others like me in the same boat.  Consider it, please?  :)
