@hesh4747 I don't know how old this post is but if you sign up for EA play via PayPal, you can add your form of payment (Prepaid card, CashApp Card, Venmo Card, etc.) to your PayPal account and use it that way.

That worked for me. Cheers!

WHAT IF A PERSON WANTS THE SUBSCRIPTION FOR 1 MONTH? What is this limitation that makes zero sense?

It's really scummy to do that. How hard is it to just accept prepaid cards for subs? Other apps Like YouTube and it works just fine. I go buy a prepaid card every month at my refill time. Easy peasy. You're missing out on people's money with your company's greed. Maybe downsize if you can't pay your staff without robbing people.

I'm thinking this is THEFT strategy by such companies, they want the card with money so it automatically subscribes you when you forget to cancel. it just takes the money. seems to be a KEY way they make a lot of money this way through unwanted subscriptions. Imagine the card holder is dead, so it just keeps eating that money.
