Help-how to preorder/buy through Origin?

[thaichalina]

I want to preorder Battlefield 4 but Origin doesn't support payment through Paypal so my only option is paying with credit card.Me and my wife have visa card but it's not credit card that i can pay online with it(it's more like a savings credit card when bank gives just to withdraw money from atm).

Yes i can go to store when bf4 comes out and buy physical copy but then again how can i buy DLC-sure i have to buy it through internet.

Really confused and i fckng hate Origin. Thanks for any help.

Sorry for double posting in Gamers Corner And Internet section as gaming corner seems isn't active much lately

With your Thai Bank Card, you can usually enable it as a debit card, which can then be used online and over the phone in the same way as a credit card.

With my Kasikorn bank card, I was able to do this just by visiting a Kasikorn Bank ATM and following the menu prompts. I don't know if it's a similar process for other banks, but I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to sus out.

Well i found out by some thai forums that i should go to Kasikorn Bank and get Online Shopping card.With that i can buy online.

Do they take Paypal? I much prefer that anyway.

Only on steam you can pay with paypal. Origin really sucks,they not accept paypal unless you are in AAA country(which is nonsence).For 4 years they can't even fix the language,which means language depends in which country you're staying in.If you're from US and if you move to Thailand your origin will be in thai language based on your IP and you can't change it. I want to preorder BF4 seems like i will have to use translator

For most EA games you are better off buying physical copies at Zest (At the much discounted Thai price) and then register them on Origin. Otherwise, between the language and the payment options and clunky interface, Origin is a mess.
