*Sighs*
After hunting through their support website for why in Hell my credit card will not work on the PSN online store.:
My nice email to Sony in reply:
I honestly can't believe this crap. No where, and I mean no where on the PSN online store does it state that most pre paid gift credit cards will not work. Or the fact that they try to charge you $1.00 for every time you do try and use your card.
It's bad enough I can't join the Clan practices on Warhawk because I can't buy the new maps, and now I won't be able to join Clan practices or other games on COD4 because I can't buy the new content. Just beacuse they (Sony) will not accept pre paid cards. That is BEYOND stupid to me, and I'm absolutely furious!

The PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork Card (PSN Card) is a prepaid card that may be used to apply funds to a PLAYSTATIONŽWallet without using a credit card. Please visit your local authorized PlayStationŽ retailer to purchase the PSN Card. The PSN Card is only available for use on PLAYSTATIONŽNetwork Master Accounts with a United States address. Please note that we do not recommend using prepaid cards other than the PLAYSTATION Network Card,as they may not be accepted by the PLAYSTATION Network.
My wife recently purchased a Wal-Mart pre-paid Visa gift card for me so I could purchase content from the Playstation online store so I could download new maps packs and so on.
I then find out after many times of trying to use it, only to have it tell me that my account info isn't verified. I go to the Wal-Mart account site, and it tells me beyond a doubt that my card IS verified.
And to add insult to injury, every time I did try and use it on your store, it tried to charge my account $1.00 for every time I tried,so now the available balance on my account isn't enough to purchase from Sony what I wanted to buy in the first place. Thanks guys! I appreciate it alot!!! >:(
When you go to add funds to your Playstation store wallet, it should PLAINLY state that most gift cards WON'T work!!! I cannot believe that a corporation like Sony will not accept gift cards PRE PAID, from the largest retailer in the entire world.
So now I'm stuck with a card that won't work, I can't download any new maps and content, and Sony doesn't get my money. Not very good customer service.
How hard would it be to have it plainly stated on the Playstation store that PRE PAID gift cards will not work?
I don't get what I want to buy, and Sony doesn't get my money. It says that you can buy PSN cards that will work, only where I live they don't sell the darn things, which is why she bought me a pre paid card to use.
Pre paid cards are a great way for people like my self that refuse to put our personal credit/debit card numbers at risk. Since the cards are already pre-paid with money on them, why does a corpoarate giant like Sony refuse them?
It's not hard to see why X-Box live is doing so well, with service like this from Sony.
