Braintree Payments
We\'re launching a new method of taking payments in the Cash Shop called braintree. You can pay with credit card (including cards from over 130 countries) and use paypal.
To celebrate the launch we\'ve created a temporary currency that you can use in the Braintree Bonus shop for the next week only to purchase old cash shop bonus (stripe and paypal!) items. You earn 1 point for every $5 you purchase using braintree!
This bonus will end on Monday the 19th at 11:59PM.

Just a heads up - you guys did not send out a notice to those of us with points - I just asked in this thread if they expired and then was scrolling up to see if this had been addressed anywhere here since there's only a couple hours left. You may want to send a notice for anyone who happens to be online.

lull These items are available for this week only in this method, the points are available for this week only. We'll send a notification to people who have them on Sunday telling them to make sure to spend their points before they're removed, this is entirely temporary.
After this week, it'll be back to normal.

Fortunately I already have the items here that I would have wanted. Cool to give other people who didn't get them a chance. Thanks.

@Springfairy556 Thanks for the update of information! This was not originally there at the braintree release date. :)

For those asking if there's a way to remove your payment, there is.
If you go to the "Buy CSC" page.There should be a message halfway down the page in a brownish colored box that says "There is currently a payment method saved to braintree.Click here to remove it" or something along that line, click the "click here" and it removes your payment method.

I logged in using my phone and my information was still there on how I paid. So where I read if I logged in elsewhere I would have to reenter my information again to pay is false right now.

Yea I don't like that my stuff is saved there. That needs to be removed. This makes me REAL uncomfortable.

I'm having kittens, I'm now on a different device and absolutely everything is still logged/saved to subetas servers or wherever. my account details, my password, etc. this makes me soooo so uncomfortable, I'm sick with worry. PLEASE let us delete our details !!! like many others commenting in also super private and this is just the worst, I won't be using the system either til I can get rid of my personal sensitive info , please please add a button to delete our payment info and just buy our CSC the other way q.q

@Taters @luvotomy The frilly arm warmers were a pay by cash item, so I'm not sure why the other items aren't in here too.

Yeahh I guess, more just to please people. But I think it is better left out. Maybe someday when another pbc sort of card appears for internet games they will make it the bonus item again ;D
Im just glad that the darn bag of diamonds is back. I must have been gone when it was here. I didnt even know of it.

@_blackwolf_2009_ It even says on the subetalodge page that the opal was specific pbc. Though the sash was paypal, it was the other item from that specific weekend. So not out during these items listed in the shop now.

They did xD it was UCG I think, it didnt last long. But it was pre paid cards bought at places like 7-11 for those who didnt have paypal. It was before stripe was a thing as well. I believe the sash you showed and the opal beads @toilet posted were both pbc/ucg exclusives. So itd make no sense for them to add them to the shop when that method is no longer available/not related to this new method.

I think the problem for most is that if it isnt a desktop computer/isnt just theirs it leaves them vulnerable. I dont like the sound of it especially as an ipad user. If I ever lost it or had it stolen there goes my bank account.
I do know some people who also use library computers still, so that is an issue as well. Logged in or not.
As bad as I want an item in there, Im not going to use it until its more secure for those who have a device they bring with them. I could care less if it were my desktop, but ehhh, this is just a bit much for me.

Because it was likely pay by cash or some other method they arent promoting today.
@luvotomy
Really? I could have sworn that was stripe. Maybe they made a mistake then if it was....plus its less than 1mil sp. so unlike the pearls that would make a huge difference in the market and would truly be unfair, that doesnt make a diff/no one is likely to buy it as the 1 point cost them 25mil or so.

@Hiccup This isn't saved to your Subeta account, it's saved to your computer. If you log in to Subeta from another computer, that information wouldn't be displayed and it would ask you to enter information again.

I believe they are only adding paypal/stripe bonus items, nothing from pbc or otherwise. It wouldnt really be fair to stick those in when this has nothing to do with that company leaving/being changed.

@grelca
is there any way this can be made a little more secure? I know Keith said it was pretty secure but the fact that we don't have to put in our security code and the fact that it remembers our info makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable. If someone were to get a hold of our laptops/desktops/phones/tablets, they could easily see our info. I know we personally can't add the security code to the requirements but perhaps there is something else that can be done?

So if I understand correctly, Stripe will be replaced by Braintree after a certain date and we can still use both paypal and credit card like we use to? I use to put 5 on through both to get both the bonus items.

Are we having an estimated time frame how long we can use Stripe for buying CSC outside a subscription?
And will Prepaid Visa Cards like Visa to Go from Wirecard work?

Pleeeeease add an option to delete our info from the page, I really would prefer not to have that displayed at all on the site >__> Not sure what was wrong with the old Paypal set-up.......

@Yoshi We don't actually have that information. Braintree (which is owned by paypal) has it saved on their server (and it doesn't even have it saved, they don't have your entire credit card #, just the has that they can use to process payments forward) and sends us the last four digits to display on that page. It's actually more secure this way because you aren't submitting your card number over and over again :)

I tried this out since there was an item in the braintree shop that I wanted, and I have to say I'm not at all a fan of the fact that my card info is saved on the payments page. Change the saved info thing to be an option for people who are comfortable with it; I see this as a huge security issue. Especially since I can't even take my card info off this page without putting on another card.

Are we able to use prepaid visa gift cards, etc with braintree? And also, once we enter in one payment type are we able to change cards or use different cards later even though the payment info automatically saves?

I love this so much, thank you!! I live in Europe and I actually had to wait 10 days and then file a ticket every time I ordered CSC with paypal (and I don't have a credit card). And I just ordered CSC with brain tree and got them a second later <3 amazing! This means a lot more cash shop for me in the future.

For a mere 110$ I could have all of the bonus items I ever missed! (Well, a bit more, actually. Canadian dollar is weak right now I think)

@grelca Thanks! It was actually a problem on my end though. Just hit me that this change probably means something new that NoScript was blocking. And it was. xD Problem solved.
ANYONE USING NOSCRIPT. You need to allow "braintreegateway.com" on the Buy CSC page in order to see all the buttons and forms correctly.

Hnnnngh perfect timing. I was just thinking of buying a little csc in preparation of Black Friday sales. Heck yes, I've had my eye on a few of those previous stripe/paypal items. ♥️

I clicked the "Pay" button to take a look at the new option. I just got a "Thanks" message about receiving CSC when payment is verified or something. But I have no payment options saved.
Also, I DO NOT WANT my payment info saved to my account. There's a reason I never used Stripe. I feel safer going through PayPal and having to enter my details every time. Do we HAVE to have our details saved? :(
I'm a frequent purchaser of CSC, and this is turning me off.

Interesting, I think I've gotten all of those items I want so I won't be trying this out yet, but next time there's a bonus we'll see how this works.
That said, am I the only one who's first reaction was "wtf braintree, this isn't neopets, subeta go home ur drunk" |D?

Before I go crazy rushing to buy csc to get braintree points for this week I was wondering if you could tell us how things will work after this week? Will they be the same as before but just a different paying agent thingy or are the braintree points a permanent new thing? Will all these items be available after this week in some way or are they gone again after this week?

Just a note, braintree IS paypal and credit card payments, so if you use either of those you will get the bonus.

@Hamda right. because paypal is being processed through braintree now :)
@Me-Guru (do the bracketed pings work in the news? guess i'm about to find out!) it will only be processed through paypal if you choose to pay through paypal (ie use the paypal button and not the credit card form below it). prepaid debit cards should work.

@Darkrai we're still using stripe for subscriptions, so that's why the option is still there. you can continue to use your saved stripe card for now (the button just got added back, that was my fault!), but we will eventually be replacing stripe subscriptions with braintree subscriptions, at which point the only thing you'll be able to do with stripe is cancel an existing subscription.

Okay, so I already had my card information saved through Stripe. I'm still seeing a "Remove Card" button. Is my information still stored or do I need to save it again?
