I logged in to update my subscription info, and found that CCP seems to no longer accept American Express cards. Is this some kind of error? -- Guile can always trump hardware -- |

American Express charges a 3% or maybe even more addon fee per charge for the pleasure of someone(CCP) accepting it at thier place of business.. This means that CCP loses 3% of your monthly sub to AMEX for letting you use it to pay for Eve.. I'm surpised CCP ever accepted it at all..

DO YOU THINK I GIVE A FLYING **** WHAT AMEX CHARGES THE VENDOR? NOT MY PROBLEM.
Besides, I subscribed 6-months at a time, so it's really only 0.5% per month.

lol.. I guess not.. Just telling you why they probably quit taking it.. And CCP probably felt the same way up until the amount of AMEX users crossed the line and started cutting into thier bottom line.. Go to your local gas station and get one of those rechargable credit cards.. Works a charm and no late penaltys cause you can't ever charge more than you put on it..

It seems that it is a problem, however.
Maybe you can find a GTC retailer that takes Amex or use a different card.
Or you could go with plows and salt.

I'm getting tired of it anyway, the soil was already getting salty on its own. If it's too much trouble for them to take my money, then it's too much trouble for them to take my money.

ALL Cred Card charge 3% or more, infact you and the poor store you use them at get charged, double whammy! the thing with AmericanExpress that ****es off stores is the billing cycle. AE only pays out at end of month, so if i take your card on the 2nd day of month, I have to wait til end to get my money That is why I dont accept AE.

Ironically, I discovered the change when I was going to change my subscription interval to 1 month, so I have the option to bail out when the **** hits the disk controller for weeks at a time, like now.
But now CCP seems to think that less is more...
did it ever hit you that maybe theres a very small percentage of the playerbase paying via AMEX in order to make it a worthwhile investment for them? ________________________________ High Sec PvP

Does anybody else but me see the irony in advice to go to drive to a gas station to pay for an online game?

I do pay my monthly fee via Amex.
Has there been a formal announcement that they will no longer accept Amex for payment by CCP ?

Oh, so you run a business. No doubt out of courtesy and principle, you decline your supplier's offer of net 30 day terms, and pay for all your inventory up-front, right?

Hi Guillame Herschel. We do accept those cards. File a billing petition and we will look into this right away. Remember to put as much information into the petition as possible.

No, you must find a way to keep playing. Please, please, please. It warms the*****les of my heart to know that you, Guilla- or should I say Sir Guillame, are playing EVE.
Seriously, though. 9 out of 10 cashiers hate dealing with American Express shoppers more than people that write checks.

Isn't that ODD? CCP wont take Amex but GTC selling site, selling for CCP is willing to cover for the loss?
Sounds like CCP merchant has changed hands and that is the reason why.
Someone should just be honest with people.
Why! Should he have to back track anyways...? OP has a point...

It's quite amazing the animosity people have towards a credit card. But I know just what to say to deflect that criticism: I also happen to work for Ticketmaster.

It isn't really the credit card itself, but the "idea" behind the credit card. So, I blame the marketing people, and the celebrities.
But ticketmaster, oooooh....I don't even know if I can talk to you now.

This is going a little far afield for this forum, but would it amuse you to know that one of the functions Ticketmaster performs for its clients is to take the heat from the public for the surcharges we're under contract to add to the ticket's face value? If it were up to us, we'd hide all the fees and you wouldn't know any better.
What's going to be really interesting is next year, when LiveNation goes it alone and starts ticketing their own events. They declined to renew their contract with us. But that's cool, LiveNation is a Clear Channel spinoff, and we all know how much the public LOVES Clear Channel. This is gonna make Ticketmaster look good!
