i wanted to upgrade my account using my debit card, i know it does not say debit card is a type of payment, but usually my debit card works fine.

Unfortunately when i attempted to pay using my debit card, it said invalid card number.

Basically what I'm asking is: Can i upgrade my account online using my debit card?, or is it credit card only?

I am sorry to hear you have not been able to upgrade the account yet, Hidewarrior.

Debit cards, provided they have a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express logo, are acceptable forms of payment. Unfortunately, I cannot pinpoint why you received the “Invalid Credit Card” message, as I am sure your card works just fine.

If the problem persists, you may wish to try another credit card, purchase the game at a local retailer, or contact Billing and Account Services for assistance.

Q u o t e:
Alss, you may ant to consider a game time card. You can get then from Target, Walmart, etc. It's a 60 day card, for $29.99.

Game Cards cannot be used to upgrade an account, Blakice. They can only be used to add play time to an upgraded World of Warcraft account. This is a great idea, though, if Hidewarrior is unable to use the card for the subscription.

Just double checking, you don't want any spaces between the sets of numbers do you?

PS: i have a paypal account, can i use that? i dont see the option to use paypal though.

Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade an account with PayPal, however you can use PayPal for subscriptions.
