you can use a check card that's what I use for that kind of stuff or since you don't have a credit card I take it ask a parent and just explain it to them.

None of your parents as a credit card? And anyway you had to expect it.. such subscriptions always require a CC number

It's age and person verification. They are usually required to do stuff like that to protect against lawsuits.

If you dont have a credit card there are debit cards which work like credit cards or something like that.

Tell your parents that it is safe to use credit cards online these days.

And why not get your own credit card. I know they wont give you a big limit, but even 800$ would be good enough.

then just steal the card they won't find out as long as you buy more time before the current amount expires.


LEGAL: I must stress that credit card fraud is highly illegal I do not condone the actions but am mearly stating an option.
