Using a Visa Debit card.

GameHouse Forums > Support

Just trying to find out if anyone else has managed to get this issue resolved?

I want to buy a FunPass, checked the accepted payments and by all information given I should be able to use a regular visa debit card in order to do this? Yet when I go to the continue button I am told that they "could not authorize this payment method". I went to the chat support but they just told me that I needed a credit card or visa debit card etc etc, we all know the spiel, and upon asking for better information unfortunately they were unable to help me due to not discussing cards etc via the chat system.

I've checked out Gamehouse, and from what I've seen, I really like it, I want to be able to play and buy games, please don't make me stop before I get started?

Has anyone found a way around that message or would I have to get a credit card in order to be able to use GH effectively.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Reb.

Hi Reb,

I am glad you like it by GH, it is a very good site and there are a lot of nice fellow gamers as well. I actually think, that everything works out for you.

I had the so called Blue Visa Card, which debits from my account. I could pay my FunPass Membership with it. Maybe try again and it will go through. If the problem persists check with your bank and make them aware of that issue, because when you have the amount on your account for that buy it shouldn't be a problem at all. Now my bank changed to Mastercard, but it is also again with debit and I still have no problems with it. Why should I? Because the amount is available and that is all it needs for a purchase.

PS. Please let me know if you could solve it, I really want to welcome you by GameHouse.

Cheers

GameHouse accepts MasterCard and Visa Debit Cards, as long as you provide the 3 digit CID on the back of your card at checkout. Gamehouse will attempt to run your card for $1.00 to check that it's a valid card this is not an actual charge its just an authorization verification.
