For what it's worth, I've been able to use a prepaid card with <WELL-KNOWN LARGE CLOUD PROVIDER> for a while now without any problems. Maybe they're not all created equal.
- kaladin-jasnah 5y agoI second and confirm this. It is true, but my <CLOUD PROVIDER> has been cracking down on it more more recently.
- vanviegen 5y agoJust curious: why are you and GP unwilling to mention the providers' names?
- vasco 5y agoSounds more mysterious, gets people going.
- ajxs 5y agoI figured it might be a little imprudent to explicitly mention what I'm getting away with, and with whom. Especially in a public forum where many of this company's employees may very well see it. I'd be shocked if they took action, admittedly. Still, I feel like it's good policy never to explicitly invite misfortune upon yourself.
- xmodem 5y agoI've not had a problem with this with <LEGACY DEDICATED SERVER PROVIDER>.
- leohonexus 5y agoI’m willing to bet it’s AWS with 90% certainty - they seem to have very lenient card policies compared to other cloud platforms I’ve worked with. (GCP, on the other hand, won’t even accept debit card - only credit)
- piotrkaminski 5y ago> GCP, on the other hand, won’t even accept debit card - only credit That's not true in my experience: I've been paying my GCP bill with debit cards from three different banks for years. (They were branded as VISA or Mastercard, mind you, but still debit cards.)
- sofixa 5y agoGCP in the EU accept debit cards, same as AWS, Azure, Oracle, Scaleway, OVH. They'd be crazy not to ( credit cards are rare here), but still.
- igetspam 5y agoI had one that worked a couple years ago but it expired. I couldn't add a new one.
