As I am still currently underage, I tend to use pre-paid debit cards to buy products online. For example, I buy $10, $25, and $50 debit cards at a local department store and simply redeem the card online and use it to buy online.

On Amazon, SC2 recently went down to $49.99, which with tax and shipping&handling, should go a little bit over $50. As far as I know, since there's no pre-paid debit card that offers $50+, I'm not quite sure how I could buy the game. Is it possible to use two debit cards on Amazon, meaning if I have 10$ on one card and 50$ on another, could I just use both to pay for my purchase? Otherwise, I'll have to settle for buying the game at full price at my local Gamestop and I'd rather save money :/.

Besides debit cards and a credit card (something which I don't have), are there any other ways to buy products online?

Don't have an answer to your question, but isn't Kmart selling sc2 for $40?

I heard of that deal, but I don't think Kmart is selling it for $40 anymore :/.

How old are you? If you have a bank account, most debit cards in the U.S. can be used as a credit card for purchasing goods online.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

Either get a debit card for your bank account (which you can then use online), or maybe ask a friend who has a credit card and pay him back in cash.

Hmm, I'll have to ask my parents if I have a bank account.
Could PayPal work as well?

afaik Amazon doesn't accept paypal, but I believe newegg does (as do several other places). Either way, you can find enough online retailers to order from that do if you wish to go that route.

Sounds like asian parents
Newegg was selling sc2 for $49.99 with free shipping a few weeks back but now it's $53.99, maybe you can check back in the future if you haven't found a solution yet.

I have a friend that does all online purchases or similar for me. You can just promise to pay him back in full, and a bit more. Try asking someone trustworthy to do it for you.
There is no one like you in the universe.

Can't you just buy the necessary amount of prepaid cards (i.e. one $50 and one $10) and then load both into one paypal account?
