I put in my debit info correctly, and got rejected the first two times I hit the button for it to charge the card. On the third time I used that card, it flat out wouldn't let me, and told me to use a different payment card.
Well, I put in my visa CC info and it worked just fine for getting my account reactivated for the month, but upon viewing my online bank statement, I found that my debit card was charged the FFXI monthly fee twice (presumably from the 2 "failures" at charging when I initially was trying to get back into my account) in addition to the ~$14 I put on my CC to finally open my account back up.
Needless to say, I'm not content with paying ~$42 for one month of FFXI, so I sent them an e-mail, but that won't get a response until the pending charges are no longer pending and are taken out of my bank funds, so I'm sorta bummed about the whole situation. I only have ~$100 in that account as is, so I don't need SE taking money that isn't there's out of it now too.
