Prepaid Visa/MC/AmEx for Patreon?
Added 2019-06-13 02:25:33 +0000 UTCDo you use a prepaid card (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express) for your Patreon membership?
I've had a couple of people ask, but I don't know where to point them.
If you use a prepaid card, where did you buy it? Can you reload it easily? Have you had any problems with Patreon's UK payment processor?
Leave feedback in the comments below. Please and thank you. (Or email/message me directly if you want to remain anonymous.)

Looks like Patreon doesn't accept prepaid cards anymore. I suspect yours was grandfathered in because it was already in their system when they made the change. Greg (at the top of the comments) has a method that works for him that's similar. It bypasses the need to use your personal card. FWIW, Patreon's billing is fairly generc. It doesn't list the creators you support. It's just "Patreon" with a code, I think.

2020-05-05 02:44:41 +0000 UTCI've been using a pre-paid for years here, but suddenly this month it won't go through. Still working on it, but not sure what the answer will be.

2019-07-02 15:02:26 +0000 UTCI am using MasterCard from Germany, it started ok, but then something came up and it doesn’t work in general, not just here, they are working on it and promised that it would work on the future. We just have to wait and see
2019-07-02 12:30:48 +0000 UTCYou loaded a prepaid to your PayPal?
2019-06-24 11:34:29 +0000 UTCLittel late for the answer, but better late than never. I use Paypal and had no problems with any payments.
2019-06-19 10:20:44 +0000 UTCThanks for all the feedback. Let me know if you find a prepaid card that works. I'll add it to my recommendations when someone inevitably has problems with the UK processor.
