Why a Russian card is declined
Russian bank cards cannot pay for EA Play. Visa and Mastercard cards from Russian banks have not worked abroad since 2022, and Mir cards are rarely accepted outside Russia, so the payment is declined.
A P2D card is issued abroad in dollars, so it works in services that accept Mastercard.
Paying for EA Play with a P2D card
Use the P2D virtual card “Purchases and subscriptions”. You pay yourself — do not give your account password to anyone.
The charge is the price plus a $0.75 fee for each payment. To pay $20, the card needs $20.75. Later payments do not include the issue fee again — top the card up.
