Epassporte Visa Electron for Online purchases? - GoFuckYourself.com

kektex · 09-19-2009, 01:15 PM

Hey all,
Has anyone tried using their Epassporte Visa Electron (actual plastic not the virtual) for Online purchase?
I want to buy tickets to a concert and I need to show the guy at the box office some ID and the credit card I used to make the purchase so he can give me my tickets.

I tried searching the board but found nothing about it.
Thanks!

I wish Epass would do something about this issue. For instance some places I can use the plastic card to pay, and others it is declined. It isn't all that reliable, where as with paypal, you can use it everywhere and know it will be accepted.

Surely you have a 'real' credit card? Where are you? How old are you?

That sucks.

I have real credit cards, but unfortunately in my country there is a currency exchange restriction, so I cannot use them to buy in foreign currency.

To use them, you have to go to the bank, present some paperwork and get a credit card approved for foreign currency expenses. And you can only spend $400 a year online and $2500 abroad for ATM withdrawals,etc. (The joys of living under Hugo Chavez's regime. When I read how some people defend this asshole I wish they could come and live here for a couple of months and experience it for real and not from the comfort of their computer chair. But thats another subject.)

Back when I presented my paperwork in the bank I made the mistake of applying for a virtual credit card the bank was offering. It was a great idea at the time because you could use that virtual card (similar to the epass virtual visa) for buying things online and locking it after you are done using it.

Now I'm stuck with that card for buying online because transferring the permission to use foreign currency on another card takes like 6 months. AC/DC tickets go on sale next week and I want to travel to brasil or argentina but I'm stuck with this card that I can use to buy the tickets with, but have no way of showing them the actual plastic when I want to get my tickets.

Is Epass money 'fake' money or something? It should work anywhere. Paypal does.

You cannot use any Visa Electron to make online purchases, you need at least Visa Classic, if we're talking about "real" Visa cards...

Unfortunately, it won't work, even with virtual visa it's hard to buy anything online... for example last time I tried to purchase stuff at istockphoto and it was declined. I had to use other bank card.

Damnit...I guess I'm gonna have to get someone from Brasil or Argentina to biy my tickets online.
Any reliable people from either country that wont screw me over? Hehe
I'm even willing to pay for half a ticket to the concert for the other person.

If you have an epassporte plastic card then you have a virtual visa number for online purchases. It will be in your message center when you first created your account.
