I dunno if there's any way you can avoid payign subscription while playing. I reckon this Vivendi in some sort of deal with Visa to try and get their subscribers to use Visa instead of other credit card systems.

How fucking sad!!

this is why i stick with XP for a while

Its a ploy to keep you subscribed IMO. I'm speaking from experince when I say the most commonly used technique for quitting is to just cancel your subscription and ride it out until your account is no longer active.

Plus I think you would look like a retard if you took your girlfriend out to dinner and you paid with your brand new night elf visa.

You would have to put an average of $1500 a month on the card to play for free. I am almost certain this "Earned Game Time" is not instant, and most likely be "paid" either quarterly or yearly.

Dude, we're talking VISA, not VISTA :)

oh mybad lol i thought it was vista. thanks for correcting me : )
