Buying Farm Cash in the game of Farm Town by Slashkey
In the game of Farm Town or FT there are items, restaurants hotels etc that can be bought with Farm Cash. To obtain Farm Cash or FC you either earn the dollars slowly by achieving goals or by going to the FT Bank and buying FC dollars with actual U.S. dollars. Example: You can buy 250 FC dollars for $39.99 U.S. dollars. You can pay by PayPal or by certain credit cards. Here is my problem. I live in Canada but have a U.S. dollar savings account. I put U.S. dollars into the account and when I make a withdrawal it is in U.S. dollars. My bank, where I have the U.S. account also offers a U.S. dollar Visa. I thought I could pay for items that are priced in U.S. dollars with my U.S. dollar Visa. Example: When I buy FT Farm Cash it costs 39.99 U.S.dollars and I could pay in U.S. dollars with my U.S. dollar Visa. When I get my bill and am charged 39.99 U.S. I would pay that bill through my U.S. bank account. I thought this would be easy peasy. Not so. The whole idea of having a U.S. Visa is to avoid paying the exchange rate that is charged for changing CDN dollars into U.S. dollars at the game level or FT level as I have already paid the exchange once by changing my CDN dollars into U.S. dollars and depositing them into my U.S. account. Now I am trying to buy Farm Town dollars and the game will not accept my U.S. Visa at all. Does anyone out there have any ideas as to how I can amend my problem? I'm frozen in the game till I find a way around this issue. I thank each and every one of you for taking them time and effort to try to help me with this. Joanne Hawkins.
