EA QV TeamRe: Need help changing currency to US Dollars
I'm afraid unless you use a card issued in the US while in the US, the system will automatically change to your local currency.

I know and that's the problem. I can't buy something from a foreign site in my currency because the banks here prohibited that kind of stuff. So I'm out of options. Does anyone have an actual response that will help me?
The fact is, that if I can't buy the subscription, EA loses money. That situation does not just apply to me, but for everyone that lives here. This was meant to be easy. How can EA compete with Steam if they don't care for their customers? I really wanna buy it, but if I can't, I won't pursue it...

@Vanaheimur I can't speak for Steam, but our system has to follow whatever rules and international commerce laws apply to us, and there are some things we can't change because of this.
So, in the end the payment method you're trying to use is not supported, but you might still be able to use one of the other payment methods available: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/star-wars/star-wars-the-old-republic/swtor-payments-by-country/
- But that's the problem! They're not following the rules and laws. The law (here in Brazil) says that if we buy in a foreign site we must buy in the foreign currency and that applies to ALL payment methods (except Paypal, but I do not have one and won't have the trouble to make one). So yes, EA's team need to change that, because it is wrong.
