    OK, so I love the game. I am trying to buy premium before the next update so that I may get it while the price is reduced.

    I am trying to purchase it through Google Checkout, with a prepaid Visa card. The card works (Google charged a surcharge to it for registering to google wallet). However, whenever I attempt to buy the game I get an error to the effect of "Order on hold...enter valid card" or some such.

    Does anyone have any information as to how I can fix the problem? If it helps, I am Canadian.

    That means that I have to go through even more surcharges, and may not even be able to purchase the game. As well, last time I used paypal, they didn't accept my prepaid ;_;

    You have probably done something wrong because i often use PayPal with prepaid Visa cards.

    Again, this doesn't negate the fact that I would have to go through another set of charges, and paypal registry to purchase the game when another system should be working.

    There is no charge. PayPal and Google Checkout is 9.99$. Charges are with Allopass.

    Paypal doesn't charge money from a prepaid visa when using it...
    What kind of prepaid visa are you using?
    Also did you activate the cards pin code on the companies site?

    Both Google, and Paypal charged the card trying to read it. Both times I have gotten an error.
    Paypal's was "Your credit or debit card has been declined for this transaction; PayPal could not validate the card. Please verify that the information you entered is correct, or try a different credit or debit card."

    As I said, it doesn't let me use pre-paid cards on paypal normally, but I chanced it to my loss.
    Prepaid visa is a Gift Card prepaid visa.
