It's a Bank of America Financial Rewards card...how the fuck is it not eligible? It's like the most common BoA card there is.

[Thiefami]

this is so unorganized lol, i'm embarrased for them... they should have announced this sooner.

[Thiefami]

reading through it twice I think this only applies to new accounts, I could be wrong

check your bank's page and activate there. they may have it on the issuer's own site than handling it to verifiedbyvisa.com

well i use a bmo bank of montreal mastercard, and it supports securecode, just got off the phone with a customer service rep.
the interesting this is.... she said anytime i purchase something online i would have to enter that securecode... so does that mean another pop up window on the ever so lovely POL system when i click play? ... i hope not.

I can't find it anywhere on the Bank of America site. They support it for like, 3 cards but not mine?

[Therin]

Mine isn't supported either, Izzy.

"It is also awesome that they offered the security token for $10 with a bonus of a satchel for space rather than just adding this new mandatory yet free security feature and giving the satchel as a questable item in game from a free update."
interesting
from ffxipedia forum....

They need to make a follow up announcement to help clear the air, answer questions.

We use a debit from ESB. I don't really feel like going through the hassle of trying to set it up with VBV/The Bank/Talking to SE while it's not in my name.

[Norrissnake]

Well seems my rinky dink Credit Union uses VBV so good on them.

Fairly sure this only applies to new players just signing up now or when existing players update their payment details. Just make sure that when you plan to change your billing information the card you're switching to is eligible for Verified/SecureCode. Of course I could be wrong, since SE is being unclear and ambiguous as per usual.

I wouldn't recommend that EU account owners relax just yes either... that rep may have said that this applies to US accounts only, but the only mention of anything region-specific in the user agreement is in regard to refunds for people whose place of purchase isn't willing to give refunds on opened software etc. We already know how clueless SE's customer service representatives can be.

[Tobatobu]

Looks like my Capitalone card failed the check. Chase's is alright though, been on the program for years.

Tymora what kinda of Chase card do you have? I wasn't able to authorize it through the SecureCode site.

[Izzy]

Mine isn't supported either, Izzy.

I think I just figured it out.

Bank of America Visa CREDIT CARDS do not support Verified by Visa. You have to register your CHECK CARD on Verified by Visa.

This is fucking stupid though. I get rewards for using my credit card, plus I can pay it off when I'm ready to instead of the money just coming out of my account. I have to fucking switch my 3 accounts to my check card now.

I got the same message w/ my BB&T Check Card. Luckily I already renewed my card a couple months back. So, I guess I'm good until 2012(if I'm still playing).

they use these for some of the budget travel sites such as expedia, priceline... i'm sure it will just be when you are charged, but it may just be a one time deal since this is a reoccuring charge

Guess who JUST got a new card and cant update CC info until i've got ffxi reinstalled.
FFXI can kiss my ass if they tink im calling long distance and going on hold for hours for them.

Do people still pay for long distance? lol

[Liquidedust]

Do people still pay for long distance? lol

For me its called calling US Support center from Sweden since I have an US account

Willing to bet that not being able to register won't simply result in a "nice knowing you", there might be a way around it. People need to stop panicking and wait to see what happens.

Unless you're a non-NA person owning a NA account. They're probably going to ask your personal info and things will be "fun" when CC and POL membership don't match.
