Mastercard Statement from Cricket
We understand that the inability to purchase the City of Heroes Good Versus Evil Edition may be inconvenient and we'd like to apologize for any frustration this may be causing.
Due to the differences between the types of purchases and amount of fraud related to them, our billing limitations for game subscriptions is indeed different from that of online serial code purchases. Unfortunately, the option to use your MasterCard to purchase an online serial code is simply unavailable.
As an alternative solution, you may wish to purchase a Visa or Discover issued gift card to make the online serial code purchase. You will want to check the particular gift card's Term of Service to be sure that it can be used for online purchases.
You may also want to check with your local Wal-Mart to see if they have box copies in stock. Although the pricepoint will be a bit higher, you will receive an included month of game time, the installation disks and some additional goodies that only come with the retail box. The Good Versus Evil box is also available online at walmart.com.
Again, we apologize that you have experienced any inconvenience due to the inability use your MasterCard to purchase an online serial code but we hope that the suggestions offered will assist you.
***************************************
This doesn't make much sense to me, business-wise. If the amount of fraud is so much greater with the use of Mastercards, why do they split hairs and allow them at all? Nothing we can do about it, though.
