    Any advice on how to purchase a Rapidgator or Debrid account without using a credit card. I don't have one and I can't use my debit card. I'm in the US, and as far as I can tell, the Visa/MC you get at the Walgreens or whatever only work in the US and all these sites are overseas. I am trying to get something without having to link my phone number or bank account. Thanks!

    Real Debrid and All Debrid accept alternate paiement.
    Check their conditions.

    Make a cashapp,paypal,or dave acct. Youll get a virtual number. I've always used cashapp or paypal for RG. Edit: Just seen don't want it tied to a number,not sure if that's an option with what I recommended. Could always get a separate phone number with any free voip app or service to use just for that if a phone number is needed for sign up.

    I think there are some non-voip number services that generate a real phone number that might work, but so far the ones I looked at are pay for services, and then I''m right back to figuring out a card to pay them with.

    I opened an account with "Real Debrid" using my debit card. However, my debit card was updated and expanded by my bank last year. If your debit card doesn't work directly, contact your bank to authorize international/EUR transactions.

    On your debit card, you'll find a second logo next to "girocard." The logos "V PAY" and "Visa Debit" (both from Visa), as well as "Debit Mastercard" and, on older cards, "Maestro" (both from Mastercard), indicate the card's functions. Debit cards with the Mastercard logo can be used in many locations worldwide.

    linksnappy also says you needed a credit card, and then on the buy page it appears to offer only 3 paying methods.
    but in fact this is not true - when you place your actual order, it works fine to pay with paypal or regular bank transfer as well.

    This applies ONLY to LinkSnappy:

    My credit card was declined? How do I get access?
    If by any chance one of our primary processor is not accepting your credit card, our website will offer you with an alternative processor which should work in most cases. If it doesn’t work you can still access via Bitcoins, Paysafecard or through a reseller.

    I wish to pay using PayPal but I don’t see any option?
    Due to the recent change of policies at PayPal end we are are bound to stop accepting it as a payment processor on our website. If you still wish to pay via paypal you can visit one of our resellers and pay via them.
    Here’s more info on PayPal’s new policy: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/acceptableuse-full

    I tried using PayPal for RG, thinking it would be safer. But RG just send me to a load of dodgy “PayPal” sites in Russia. Yeah, no way I’m doing that - it’s not real PayPal at all. I now use Real Debrid with my debit card and I think that’s almost completely safe. Nothings completely safe on the internet.

    I'm using PaysafeCard for Realdebrid.
    You can buy gift cards from Dollar General and CVS Pharmacy and transfert the amount in your account.

    yeah, that is more or less what i was referring to. the info is not really up to date. :)

    it starts with only 3 options, then it claims it would not support paypal, then it supports it.

    if you find the right way to the maze you may finally buy it.

    What a mess! @Obineg

    When I recently tried to buy Rapidgator via PayPal for the Christmas season, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that it's no longer possible. No credit card, no Rapidgator – that can't be right! So I registered with PaySafe, but PayPal wasn't an option there either. What now? In the end, I entered my debit card details into Rapidgator – my very first payment with a debit card. I had previously only used a credit card; I was only familiar with cash and PayPal.

    I saw that one of them accepted Paysafe cards, either it was RealDebrid or a reseller, so I went to CVS and couldn't find a physical Paysafe card on the rack. I asked the kid at the counter, and he said all their cards are on the rack. So is there an actually physical card, or do you just buy it at the checkout and get a receipt?

    The origins of Paysafecard lie in the prepaid phone card, which enabled easy payment at public payphones. Instead of always having the exact change on hand, the required amount could be deducted from the card. From this function, the more universally applicable Paysafecard evolved. In 2000, numerous young companies began conquering the internet with new services. Paysafecard was one of the few ideas that survived the dot-com bubble. From 2000 onward, it operated subsidiaries in London, Düsseldorf, and Lucerne.

    First, you need to purchase a card at one of the official sales outlets. Instead of a physical card, you receive a 16-digit PIN.

    Obtaining a paysafecard First, purchase a paysafecard voucher from authorized retailers, which you can easily find at gas stations, retail stores, etc., as well as online through official paysafecard partners like Guthaben.de. Each voucher contains a unique 16-digit PIN code.


    To make a payment, simply enter the PIN. Registration is not required. However, a remaining balance may remain on the card. If you use multiple cards, you can combine the remaining balances. Up to three PINs with a total value of €30 can be combined this way. When paying, you must enter the PINs sequentially. This allows you to use any remaining balance more efficiently.

    To keep track of your spending, it's a good idea to create a customer account. Frequent users can easily see their remaining balances at a glance.

    PaySafe

    - No registration required
    - You only need your 16-digit code to pay
    - We don't need any personal information
    - No bank account or credit card required

    Life is getting more complex and opaque every day. Paysafe wasn't such a bad idea after all.

    No it's not a "physical Paysafe card", it's the CVS or Dollar General gift card. The value of the gift card is tranfered in your Paysafecard account.
    Here what they said on their site :
    "Customers buying CVS/pharmacy or Dollar General gift cards have many advantages. The gift card is topped up with the selected amount and no additional fees are deducted or incurred. Loaded funds do not expire. Gift cards have high limits, i.e. Dollar General Gift Cards can be topped up with up to USD 2,000 per day. They are a simple, secure and flexible option for many customers to shop online, even without a credit card."

    Ok, I think this is making sense now. Tomorrow I will get a Dollar General gift card and see if this works! I'll let you know how it goes!

    Ok, so an update on this. Got a DG card but the Paysafecard site kind of tricks you on this. They make it look like you can just use the CVS or DG card to put it on a Paysafe card. Thing is, you have register first. Registering requires a verification with a phone number. I tried using a couple of different free non-voip number sites but the verification never came through; probably have the free ones black-listed. You can "rent" a number for like 10 minutes or something, but even though it's like 50 cents, you still need a card to pay with. I wonder if you could get a Visa gift card from CVS and then use it to pay to rent the phone number. It depends if these phone number services are in the US, because I think they only work domestically. Feel free to correct me on this, as I haven't used a gift card in... um...well I don't know how long. I know I am making this overly complicated, but one gets tired of everyone needing your phone number, bank account, email, and physical address before they do the littlest thing.
