Can you not cancel it on your ESO account page as soon as it has commenced? That is usually how recurring subscriptions work, and you remain subscribed until the end of the initial period. What's different about your card?

Not with a pre paid Visa or Mastercard it doesn't authorize payment due to it being reoccurring.

Understood, thanks for the clarification. I'm afraid no MMO developer is likely to offer a non-recurring option as recurring subscriptions are a critical part of their business plan including cashflow projections.

Actually you can get a SWTOR one time purchase of 60’days subscription time directly from there web page. So your assumption is somewhat untrue

Does ESO have ESO+ cards you can get in Walmart, Target, etc? Can you just purchase those?

Yeah doesn’t quite work like that on a pre paid gift Visa card or master card they decline any and all reoccurring subscriptions on the Card when you Attempt to make the first payment in other words being able to cancel the subscription is not possible because you can’t use the cards even on PayPal to subscribe in the first place. In the past maybe but as of recently they have squashed it I have tried trust me.

So you can't just use the prepaid CC as a deposit to your paypal account, and when it shows up as a credit to the account, then order the 365 day ESO+ charged to that paypal account? If that's the case it seems odd....

I add money from various prepaid cards (I wind up with them all the time) to my account, and some of that later gets used for my recurring sub to ESO+.
I guess different countries have different rules.

Well, I do pay two subs, 365 on both. But I do have the flexibility to manage that thankfully.
