Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Is there any way to buy 3DMark03 Pro download without using a credit card or paying an extra $10 to send a letter to them?

I've emailed asking them if there is another way such as paypal, but I'm wondering if any one else here has done it without the use of a credit card.

I can't use a credit card since I'm only 16, so I only have a debit card and my parents won't let me use theres as they "don't trust" the internet :(

Any ideas? :(

Tell your parents it is safe if you use proper sites ;)

Cant you get a debit card at 16? I am pretty sure you can

I do have a debit card, just that the last 3 digits won't fit in.

you usually can't use debit cards to pay for things in america... visa, mastercard, discover only isnt it?

of course you could always get a visa debit card from nationwide or something :erm:

You are a life saver!

Reps for you! :D

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

why do you want to pay for the pro? why not just get the free one.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Because the pro one has more features :)

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

But you only have an GF4 MX420!!! :eek:

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

I know, I wanted the CPU tests which still don't f*&#%ng run :mad:

Emailed them if my licence can be dropped to a 2001 key, other wise I'll have to wait for my mate to sell me his Geforce FX 5200 :(

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

They changed it to a 3DMark2001 licence for me :)

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Save the money you'd be spending on his FX5200 for something better tbh, it isn't really a very good card :(

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

It's better than a MX 420, as it supports LOADS more. My mate is only selling it to me at £20, bargain I think.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Well it's alright for £20, it does support DX9 I suppose.
Just don't expect it to be faster than your GF4...

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Not bothered about that, it plays UT 2004 well, I just want the extra supported modes.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

OK I requested a re-fund. I'm REALLY dissapointed on what you get for $10. They still didn't re-fund my $4.95, so I've also requested that aswell.

If they can exchange the licence, they have to be able to re-fund me.

Then I can actually save up for a new graphics card.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

To be honest I was surprised that they changed your license...

I'll be even MORE impressed/surprised if they give you a refund just because you don't like it.....

Did you give them that reason? Or did you tell them it didn't work properly?

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

I gave them a reason saying I wasn't satisfied with it. Which is a good enough reason for *MOST* companies. Will have to wait and see what happens.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Don't get me wrong I hope you get a refund too. But most companies don't let you take pc games back (game being a noticable exception) if you don't like the game. I don't see a difference.

As you say - you'll just have to wait and see.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

As it's an online purchase, shouldn't it be covered by the Distance Selling Regulations? i.e., you have a 7 day (?) cooling off period in which you can change your mind & get a refund.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

GAME no longer take back PC games under their "10 day guarantee" - only console games.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

I certainly hope so :) - I await scott's results with interest :)

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

They do in Bedford, well they did last week anyway ;)

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Sent the email this morning, but I don't think there available on weekends.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Hmm, maybe it's only certain branches then. I know the ones in Cambridge have changed their policy on taking back PC games.

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Actually it's probably because I'm big and scary :D

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

me regrets telling him about paypal now. :(

Re: Buying 3DMark03 Pro download without a credit card?
 

Got an email back saying they will re-fund me :)

The most weirdist thing is though, I pay them $14.95 for it but there re-funding me $19.95. Could be because I wasn't satisfied with there product? :erm:
