I can't use my debit card on here without getting explicit permission on a limited 24 hour use basis. I have my card through a local credit union and they by default block all overseas transactions. Whenever I've tried to use it in the past, on multiple locations to see if it could work, the transaction is blocked and I get a notification of a possible "fraudulent" charge coming from Cyprus. They apparently look at that as illegitimate. When I talk to a credit union service rep they ask me questions which then I prove to them it is OK, then they give me a 24 hour purchase period, which then it's blocked again; they can never, ever make it a permanent exception.
I don't know if GOG having an LA office will make much of a difference as they could still run their billing out of Cyprus, but I just wish it could be more local credit union friendly. It's Granite State Credit Union, in case anyone's curious. It would be easier though for the credit union to have a "safe" list though.
The way I get around it all is paypal, which never has problems, and it's charged directly to the same exact account. But they still won't authorize GOG Cyprus through the debit card ;D
It's just a tad annoying.
