I need to purchase some zen but don't have paypal or an active credit card. Seem in how none of the stores in my town have the arc or perfect world prepaid cards, and the next city is like 15 miles. My question is if I buy a pre paid visa from a store will the site accecpt that card, id rather just pay the 4 dollar service fee for the card then drive out of town and waste the gas anyways. Thanks

    It will work BUT you will have to use the PayPal option.

    So, a pre paid Visa will work if and only if you go through the PayPal option. PW will NOT recognize prepaid cards. PayPal, so far, has.

    So your saying I need a paypal account and I have to load the prepaid visa onto the paypal or is there an option where I can just click paypal as a payment option and use the card there.

    You may want to drive the 15 miles for the Arc or PW card. I have not had any trouble with PW cards. Just be careful when you scratch off the coating over the pin number that you don't actually scratch the numbers underneath off. The Visa cards cost at least $4. For $4 gas you should be able to drive most if not all the round trip and know your purchase will work.

    Not sure if Neverwinter is the same as STO as far as this goes but I was trying to set up a monthly sub on STO. Tried with a prepaid Visa, nope, tried with a prepaid Visa thru my paypal account, nope. Both times it looked like everything was fine at first, I had the gold membership benefits but after a few days the sub was cancelled by PW. Even though it was a $100 card they would not take it. I never tried to purchase Zen with the prepaid directly or through paypal, since that is a one time purchase it could work where the subscription did not.

    That is likely your problem.

    Setting up a monthly sub with prepaid cards often ends up as a no go back when I actually used prepaid cards for other games.

    Using paypal to make a Zen purchase with a prepaid card should have no issues.

    Yes I read in the description and you cannot use a pre paid visa for recurring transactions. I did buy the card and it worked fine thanks for the replies.
