December 31, 200916 yr Today a rosy-cheeked youth purchased a Visa gift card. Excitedly, he rushed home, his ticket to glory in hand. For soon his life would be filled with adventure. Would he defeat the evil dragon Elvarg? Or gain admittance to the fabled Legends Guild? Now, it was all possible. His palms are sweating, his heart pounding, as he enters his house and races up the stairs to his room. The adrenaline pumping, he sits down at his chair, and logs himself into what would be his new place of residence, runescape.com. He selects the option he has waited for months to acknowledge without longing dissapointment. Upgrade your account. An excited flare in his eyes, the young boy enters the card information, his fingers nimble despite the incredible speed at which they flow across his keyboard. He watches his cursor dart towards the Accept button, and awaits the final realization of his dreams. But the message that returned to him shattered his hopes. Your payment, it said, has been rejected. In disbelief, the lad leaps from his chair! The world around him swirls, and his vision begins to fade. Finally regaining his composure, he searches the card for answers. VALID ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES Get back here so I can rub your butt.
December 31, 200916 yr Only thing to do is return it. And if you can't do that, complain to whomever you bought it from. But really, you should make sure you know what you're purchasing. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~
December 31, 200916 yr Author Only thing to do is return it. And if you can't do that, complain to whomever you bought it from. But really, you should make sure you know what you're purchasing. Impossible. It's a card that comes in a package, and the message that says it is on the card itself, not the package. I don't really have any right to try and return it, I can always spend it on something else, it just makes no sense to have cards like this in the first place. Get back here so I can rub your butt.
December 31, 200916 yr I'm sorry for you though, the end of your story made me sad. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~

January 8, 201016 yr 1: Use an American proxy2: Get someone in the states to update your account for you. BooYa you are members.Number one is against the rules, number two is stupid, dangerous and against the rules. Using a proxy would fall into lying about your country, therefore it's against the rules. On topic: 'ts a shame that this happened. :( I find it really idiotic to have such things as gift cards limited to certain countries. <_< Master of Attack ~ August 29th, 2010Proud to have served the awesome Tip.It Crew <3
January 11, 201016 yr Christ, you describe membership like an orgasm. I'm now wondering what you did with all that built up energy after your realization that all your angst was fruitless. So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
January 11, 201016 yr Can you spend the visa card on a membership card? If so that might work if not then um well kinda sucks <_<
January 13, 201016 yr Sucks man, all you can do is grit your teeth a bit and try for others for a membership. My signature got deleted :( And I lost all the links. Thanks Gandorf61.
January 17, 201016 yr I, wait. I'm confused. How is this error happening. Where are you from that is selling cards only valid in the US outside of the US? What is going on here? :-s On a mission from the gods.... to get all skills on the high score lists. XD
January 20, 201016 yr i actually find this funny yet i would be really upset if it happened to me. lol sorry! the giftcards should be usable everywhere tbh
January 21, 201016 yr Just use a proxy, you still paid money for membership. Using a proxy would fall into lying about your country, therefore it's against the rules. [/wbm] Master of Attack ~ August 29th, 2010Proud to have served the awesome Tip.It Crew <3
January 30, 201016 yr Brings a tear to the eye ;-( .. >.> Yeah, its kind of stupid that you can buy cards but not use them ~Fire cape achieved at combat lvl 80~BLOG~blog~BLOG~blog~BLOG~blog~BLOG~blog~BLOG~blog~
January 30, 201016 yr Nimble....no....must...not...edit.......must...stay...on...topic.... whew... Although I haven't had the exact same thing happen to me, I do think I can relate. I once bought a console game and rushed home with it because I was anxious to play it, only to open the package and discover the disc inside had been replaced with a demo disc for a completely different console. Of course, I couldn't prove it and just had to eat the fifty bucks I payed for it. That's really frustrating, man. Maybe you can call the company that issued the card and see if there is a way around it.
