Initial deposit, how long does it take?

I used the credit card deposit option to depost $10 last week around 20 or 21 Oct. I’ve been checking my acct online daily and it hasn’t shown up yet, while other purchases done on the same day have shown up.

The instructions say the process usually takes about 3 days to show up but it’s been about 5 or 6 days.

How long does the process usually take? :confused:

with all due respect, we are in 13 oct so i fail to see how u deposited in 20 oct :tongue2:

for me, it took close to 2 weeks until the activation code appeared on the bill

For me it takes 6 to 7 days…using other than CreditCard though.

Yes, I have finally deposited :wink:

hehhee

As far as i can remember mine showed up almost immediately, but my memory is quite poor :wink: I guess it depends on your credit card company. Ive seen it suggested elsewhere that you can phone them to find out. Maybe thats an option :slight_smile:

omg sorry I meant 6 or 7 Oct lol. I was looking at the calendar and somehow looked at next week’s date instead of the previous week’s doh.

My initial deposit was right there when I logged back in after making it. The code came 2 hours later when I checked my bank card balance online.

2 weeks damn that sux. I hope it doesn’t take that long for me. 7 days, I’d hate to go through another weekend gathering sweat :frowning:

You should have been able to deposit right away with your credit card. Either in game or via the client loader the money should have come almost instantly, however for the activation code you would have to wait till november to get it on your credit card bill.

aaaaaaaaa, sry due, i missread. the 10$ deposit should have come right away, the activation cocde might take 2 weeks.

u can check on the client loader, at “my deposits” to see what state the deposit it is:

  • initiated
  • commited
  • canceled

i have, as an example, problems with PayNova, my cc is not compatible with them.

and one thing, i heard ppl having trouble with AMEX cards, coz their cvv is 4 digits and MA accepts only cc with 3 digits cvv. :slight_smile:

It’s the activation code I’m waiting to see in my acct. I used my atm visa/checkcard.

You say though that the money should already be deposited into the game? I thought I needed to use the activation code for it to show up in game or is that just so I can make additional deposits/transactions?

Nope I can’t use the exchange terminal til I get the activation code but that’s what I thought. Oh well…

Hmmm- yes you should have had the ped (100) at the time of your deposit in game using the bank icon. The activiation code that you are currently awaiting will be for any future deposits :girl: So, if you do not have the 100 ped ($10) on your avi, something went wrong. You may wish to call your visa bank account and ensure that they show a debit was in place on that day… if not, then perhaps it did not go through properly and I would suggest sending a quick support to MA to see if they ahve a record of it.

Now, for the activiation code. It takes one billing cycle to show up on your bill. Or, you can just call your visa bank again and ask directly for the code, which they have but you won’t until your next bill :wink:

hope this makes sense

I just looked at deposits and it showed none having been made, so I tried again and I think this time it went through.

It tried to verify my card to commit it and returned:

Your credit card deposit could not be committed. Reason:Property assignment error

What does this mean?

Are you using the PE Website or Ingame? If ingame I would recommend the website. I haven’t gotten the ingame to work in forever.

I did this using the website.

when you deposit with credit card it should go through straight away then you wait for the activation code on the next bill, however if like me you cant wait that long and dont online bank then ring them up they are usually 24hrs and get the code :smiley:
Ihad the property assignment error message before because i was using my card and it had expired so had to use the new one DOH!you may also get this message if your card address is different from your address you used when you registered on pe.
hope thats of help

Currently my deposit status reads as ‘Initiated’. I just updated my address with my bank. Is there a way for me to verify my card again?

Checked my deposit again and it was cancelled. I tried doing it again after updating my address with my bank and got the same error :confused:

If your CC validation time is gonna end soon, like after month or 2, MA maybe dont accept this CC. I had similar problem with my virtual CC, virtual CC valid only 40 days and they didnt accepted it.

That could be it. If your expiration date is too close to present time you might get trouble. If it’s not, try deactivate the card and activate it again. (with the right adresses etc)
