New Account for Son


Aggelakis

 

Posted

Hello.
My 14 yr old son has tried free to play and likes the game. He wants to have his own VIP account.
Problem is, he is not yet old enough to have his own Debit Visa card to pay for it. I could pay for it myself with my Debit Visa, but then he's have to make his account under my Master Account.

When he is older, he may want to handle his account on his own without having to go through me.

Time cards are not a good way to go, as the stores that carry them are not reliable. I switched to Debit Visa because the stores here often are out of stock, and take weeks to get time cards in stock.

Is there a way he can have his own account, which I can pay for with my Debit Visa, but later can be switched to his own Debit Visa when he gets one?

Thank you

Paypal.

Put your debit card/checking account in a paypal account and pay for it through there.

(Make sure you put serious restrictions on how much can be spent per month, since he'd have access to it through the Paragon Market interface in-game!)

Welcome to the City Kid!

And yeah, multi Accouns under one Card should be possible, can always switch cards later.
PayPal option works too.

Wait. You don't have multiple credit cards? What happened to the good old days where people would open their wallet and let fall a chain of credit cards?

Actually, you can have more than one master account that uses the same card.

Right around Christmas I managed to get my eight year old brother into the game and I created a master account for him connected to my card.

Hope this helps!

Agreed.

I believe actually up to (3) Master Accounts can be linked to the same card.

I pay for step-sons account which is a complete and separate Master Account from my own with my credit/debit card.

There is an option under Billing Sumary where you can change credit card data at any time.

I do not believe you should encounter any difficulty in what you had originally wished to do, so good luck and see you both in-game !

But can you switch not only to a different card, but to a different owner? I know I can switch from a VISA to MasterCard, but if I were switch an account from me to my son's name, would PlayNC be okay with that? It's my understanding that they don't like that as it is like giving (or selling) your account to someone else.

I've tried, before, to open a PayPal account in the past, twice actually, but in each case PayPal's website insisted on me attaching a bank account, and would refused to attach a credit card with out the bank account. So, I never bothered to completed a PayPal account.
