Canadian Interac > PlaySpanFollow

Heya

I've been thinking about getting into FFXI again, and bringing my fiance with me.
I used to pay for my account using a "MyTitanium MasterCard" from Moneymart, but have since abandoned the card due to fee's everywhere.

Now, I'm looking into Crysta and finding that there is A LOT more options to pay for the game, than ever before.
That being said, I want to use my TD bank debit card to pay for FFXI, without using PayPal.

The PlaySpan website has on their front page, that they take Interac (Canadian form of debit online).
If I go to the UltimateGame Card section and buy the $21 game card directly online, using my Interac debit card, will Square-Enix be able to see the "UltimatePoints" I will have bought, and I can use it for buying Crysta?

If yes, this will save me all the hassle of trying to get a Secured by Visa card or 3D Secure by Mastercard.

the first time you go to add a code, it should prompt you for an email addy to link to a playspan account. After that, when ever you go to add Crysta via UGC code it should poll the playspan account and give you the option to apply any UP in the account before you get to the code entry screen.

It works out well if you actually visit the site often. You can do the surveys and such for the bonus UP, buy your UGC codes or cards locally and apply the UP you've earned. Last time I added, I got like $2 worth of free crysta or something from the UP on the Playspan account--and I was using a code from a physical UGC card from a local Gamestop store.

alternatively, you may be able to buy UGC cards locally as well. Not sure just how many outlets they have selling them in Canada though. You can look them up at their website:

You will need to manually zoom the map in to see the actual pins. For some reason, that GIS app isn't zooming into to the locations properly, even when you punch in a valid postal code.

oh that's so cool - I didn't know you could buy with interact, I might have to try it. Waiting for paypal to clear is bogus.
