Does chess.com accept payment methods other than by credit card, PayPal, cheque and money order? For example Google Checkout or Google Wallet, bitcoin, etc? Thank you.

Teja,

I was just back there checking that.  The only payment methods I see are Major Credit Cards.  None of the others are listed.....  Hope this helped...

Teja

Thanks Terry. Oh dear, this is very limiting.

Thanks kco but strange, I cannot get into that page. A message says my connection is not private, and attackers might be trying to steal my information from support chess.com ..

Just as easy using a debit card as it is using a paypal, or buying bit coins on line which I wonder how you pay for them if not by a credit card or debit card......

Not sure where you live but many countries sell prepaid mastercard in supermarkets. You can just buy that and use that to buy your membership. 

I did that in the past for other stuff online and works like a charm.

Im in the USA and I have seen those.  But my bank just gives us all a Visa or Master Card debit card to use at any location on the planet...lol

YannickO82

Same in the UK... My debit is Visa and my credit is mastercard... 

knightspawn5

Same here...

Sir .. I am in India. Tried payment with Visa and Master debit cards. chess.com not accepting. They mailed me to contact the bank.Bank says problem is with Google Wallet! I have requested chess.com to take up the matter with Google Wallet ,since it will be more effective! I am at my wits end!

I a send chek with my payment. I cannot use paypal because they ripped my card of $770.00 on Ebay. . .

i have them blocked by my AMERICAN EXPRESS credit cards company. . .

HERE'S what I do . . . I now have my BILL PAY take care of it . . . but I send it three week in advance . . . It seems they wait several weeks for the check to clear before 're activating the account . . .

 

How can I signup if I don't have a credit card?

If you don't have a credit card you can use the Paypal option on the checkout page. You can also send a check or money order to Chess.com, PO Box 60400, Palo Alto, CA 94306

Does anyone know if it is possible to pay with cash (in a letter)? I have written a message to the staff a couple of days ago, but did not get a response yet.

RichColorado

Send the cash to me i will take care of it for you.

EVER HEAR OF MONEY ORDER?


BillPhilip

I use debit card.

cheeky_chicky

Wish we were still back in the Mayan days. Then we could pay with chocolate. I wonder how many snickers it would take to get a year's subscription? 

Martin_Stahl

Some payment methods require staff intervention to process. So either way it could take a couple of days.

Martin says

It could take a couple of days . . .

= = = = = = =

Sorry but it has taken weeks even when I used a credit card . . . . What chess.com needed was a new accounting department . . . and customer service . . . Make it simple . . .

IMHO . .
