Except credit card companies make it very difficult to protect oneself:
1). Hefty charge to purchase (10-20%) in store.
2). You still have to provide extensive personally-identifiable information to activate and use your purchase for commerce.
3). These cards are not re-loadable.
I once had a gift card and wanted to buy a couple of cheap DRM-free games from https://www.gog.com/.
The transaction wouldn't process online.
I called the CC company.
They said gog was "in a country on the government terrorist watch list".
It is located in Cyprus and Poland. |
The gog guys are awesome.
I know them personally.
Stand up people.
