Well, my bank got bought out, and the new cards went active, and they changed my credit card number for my Visa. SE doesn't take discover, and apparently you can't change your payment info in POL anymore, just on the Squeenix account site, so we'll see how things go on the 1st if/when the payment info is all screwed up.

In short, I might not be around for a few days if SE sucks as bad as they usually do in such matters, and I have to wrangle with them to straighten out the system that they fucked up.

It's actually pretty easy to set up billing info on SE account management once you do the transfer process. You don't need Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure, and you can use Amex/Discover

My SE account info is up to date; the question is whether or not SE is going to be billing me via that method or not. They're delaying the changeover, and I wouldn't put it past them to try and run my old card on the 1st, and promptly suspend my account when it gets declined.
