    Default Buying platinum with giftcard

    Hi guys i m planning on buying the 165 plat so I don't have to keep buying 30 and 30 again. But I have trust issues when purchasing online. We also talked bout this in my financial literacy class, she recommends us using a gift card when purchasing online.

    So, is it alright if I purchase platinum using a walmart/albertson gift card? Cause I really don't wanna use my debit.

    Hope to hear from you guys

    I use google. I have my account linked to my phones e-mail.
    I had my bank make a 2nd account with a debit card(they even used a weird name). They locked it so I can only have 200.00 in the account. If the account has a bunch of charges in a quick amount of time. They lock it down. This was all free.

    I never had a problem. I use it all the time for apps and buying online.

    No i thought STS would make more maps and items. I didn't know it take them a while. Good thing my last plat buy was only like 165 cuz they took out the 800 plat on itunes.

    I'm jealous, Keo! I only have like 130plat left to spend on Blackstar and pretty sure I will burn through those quickly.

    But back to topic, I use Google checkout and no problems yet. Fingers crossed as I knock on wood.

    You can probably go buy an itunes giftcard as well Or if you're on an android buy whatever gift card that is.

    i recently used paypal through the Pocket Legends website since it has the option of purchasing online without making any accounts.

    And like Keohike, i also spent around $50 on plat (in total mind u) and was feeling regret as well. but at least i know someone else has spent around the same

    All u hardcore players out there feeling regret from all your purchases, you're not alone

    I'm not feeling the regret, I am feeling the need to buy more. I have spent 80 bucks on this game, and plat is running tight again. NOTE!!!!! I am a collector, I spend hundreds of plat on holiday items and gears. This game does not leach you of money, it is a good one time purchase game.

    Then, you do know buying on the internet is safer then buying stuff with a credit card at a store right?

    I've been buying things online with my credit card for years, and never had a problem. Just don't buy from stores that look like they're made by a guy in his basement stealing people's identities.

    Ironically, I lost/misplaced my card yesterday and had to close the account. Even though there were no unauthorized charges. Fun stuff.

    Yea Pharcyde's right, and i like the "platinum" arrangement. Personally, i only spend plat on campaigns and certain items like Big Luck (since it has that re-roll). i can spend $10 on $75 plat and that'll last me around 6 months depending on how fast, slow or how much content is released in updates.

    Well for 1 time purchase a 165 plat would be enough. This will get you all maps and you still have enough left over,

    Assume you are on android or would have just gone with an itunes gift card. Question, do they still accept amazon? I have seen amazon gift cards in super markets and convenience stores.

    They accept amazon payments, but I do not believe amazon payments accepts amazon gift cards, seeing as you buy amazon gift cards thru amazon parments...

    :s

    Correct me if I'm wrong?
