FYI in case anybody was wondering, I just found out through the EA website that you can set up payment by checking account even if it doesn't have a Visa/MC check card attached to it, so that's probably what I'm gonna end up doing, unless I call and find out there's a big fee attached to it, then I'll just wait till I can transfer the money into my Paypal account. Only thing is my Paypal debit card expires in November and since I no longer have another CC or debit card number as backup, I don't know if they'll reissue me one or not, so at least I know there will be another option for paying.
Also FYI, this option is only available inside the US, naturally coming from EA (
). Just wanted to make that clear so that anybody who's having problems now outside the US wouldn't get their hopes up only to have their bubbles busted.....again
