I was the one who suggested using the Entropay card.
Compared to other virtual cards that usually charge a monthly fee, the 4,95% funding charge is very reasonable. If you load $100 on your card, you pay $105. Yesterday I used the card to buy $94 restricted books, and got a $42 rebate. Paying $5 to get a $42 rebate is a good deal in my opinion. Geert Quote:

I use Entropay to buy from the Sony store and find the 5% fee to easily be worth it.
However as I posted a moment ago, you should be able to buy from Fictionwise just using your credit card and entering the country as US when you enter your billing address. |

I started using Entropay when FW had the 100% rebate "Star Trek Movie-Tie in ebook" and got the full rebate.

I know. But these were the last books on my wishlist (I have bought a lot of books because of the current anniversary sale), and I am already buying too many books. Buying e-books is just too easy

I did not think this would work, but it did!
I have just bought "Stranger in a strange land" using my Dutch Visa card, with my Dutch billing address, and US as the country. I will keep my Entropay card, because I do not expect the publishers to accept these kind of "restrictions" for long. Quote:

I'm sort of disappointed in FW today. Went there twice, looking for two well-known scifi books. Neither was available. I've never before failed to find what I wanted there.

They generally take 2 or 3 days to respond, but they WILL respond.

The Entropay site has been down for "essential maintenance" for the past 12+ hours. You cannot sign in or sign up.
Certainly builds confidence. Or not. Snowman Last edited by Snowman; 05-29-2009 at 06:13 AM. Reason: missed sentence |

I had an epiphany moment, I deleted my cookies for Fictionwise which was then followed by a successful purchase of one of the restricted offerings.
The mention of credit card addressing appears to be a little bit of a 'red herring' .... |

So, will you be able to buy the Pratchett books now in the format you want at the price you want?
