Often paypal will offer to issue a debit/credit card based on your paypal account. You could try that.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
I had a similar problem a few weeks ago.. I wanted to buy a server transfer, but required a credit card on file in order to do so.. However I am playing via PayPal so I have no CC on file..
I do, however, have a valid credit card, but the only way to put it on file seemed to be canceling my current paypal sub (at the same time losing the Vanguard pack), and resubbing using my credit card as the payment source..
Any sort of "add credit card to file" option seemed to be blatantly missing. After visiting NCSoft's help and FAQ section I came to the conclusion that one does need a valid credit card, and you also have to cancel your paypal sub and resub using a credit card, in order for it to 'go on file' and be usable.
So I just forgot about it as it was all just way too much hassle..
I hope you have better luck than I.

It's too late now, but FYI, unsubbing and resubbing within the same day did not lose access to the Loyalty Rewards. Black Pebble stated as much several times in answer to questions about that, and since my subscription decided to come up during the period in question and didn't auto-renew for some reason, I had occasion to (nervously) test that, and found that it was the case.

Ahh I see, guess I should have looked a bit closer at that aspect.|

Doesn't really matter though, it was kind of a 'on a whim' idea, so I wasn't terribly distraught when I found it too much hassle to transfer.
Though this will probably come up again if I ever want to buy a booster pack, so it might be wise for me to resub on my credit card xD
I can buy booster packs in the NC store no problem, as the NC store accepts paypal.
I do wish that the NC store would offer the ability to buy server transfer or character slot tokens and apply them to our accounts as an upgrade or something, for those who prefer to use paypal.

So I was able to get my credit card back onto my account, and bought several more slots on Virtue
Even though it was full price, I also got a server transfer for a character I made on freedom, but later wished I had made on virtue.

Is it possible to obtain character transfers or server slots without a credit card? When my old card expired last year and I got my new one, I tried to add it to my game account, but for some reason it wouldn't work. So I went to using paypal to pay for game time and costume booster packs, with no problems. Now I would like to take advantage of the sale on character slots, but I don't see an option for buying those in the NC online store. And unfortunately the only way to purchase them in-game seems to be a credit card.
So do I have to cancel my paypal billing and try to add my credit card again?
Unless there's something under account management on the plaync website that I missed, it sucks that a credit card is the only way to buy transfers or character slots. Especially since we can use paypal for everything else.
