Paying with VISA electron?

by Jukka Kokkonen · in Site Feedback · 02/26/2005 (6:58 am) · 4 replies

Does GarageGames accept VISA electron card as payment method?

I'm wondering about this because, as far as I know, using VISA electron when paying online requires the "verified by visa" thingy and I haven't seen any mention of such.

As I don't have the classic VISA card or anything like that, and I'm too lazy to get one just to buy torque, I would appreciate to know if using VISA electron is possible.

(MoneyOrders and such seem too complicated as I don't live in US)

I payed with my VISA check card (money comes out of your bank account instead of how a regular credit card works) and it worked for me. So yes they do accept VISA.

I'm fairly sure Visa Electron is a UK (EU?) thing, and is actually a real pain in the backend to support. I'd guess they don't since outside of being a payment provider it's not worth the hassle of setting it all up :(

VISA has a one card, every card policy, meaning if you take one type of VISA, you automatically take them all.

Dreamer, incorrect. VISA do credit cards mainly, but the electron is a debit card. Its common in UK stores ot have signs up stating whether they do or do not accept electron (My local petrol station for instance doesn't accept it)
