I had bought a $25 Visa Gift card to buy SC with. Registered is a couple hours ago (Name, full address and ZIP) and tried to buy the Sc ingame. Everything went as normal, But When i check the card activity, it shows it as "Pending" yet the card balance is $0. Logging ingame, I have no SC credited. (All information was entered correctly) I've bought SC before for Planetside the same way with no problems, So I dont know what this is taking so long.
I'd recommend submitting in a support ticket so we can double check to make sure the purchase went through. PM me and I'll be happy to take a look!
