Faction change + transfer - experiences?

I think that post is about the cooldown (i.e. no transfers for a 3-day period) - I meant the credit card thing. But good info never the less :-)

One thing I did was get a debit card with my PayPal account. I can circumvent the three hits to your card rule this way.

Oh sorry I have no info from Blue on the credit card issue. We are the exception as multiboxers though, most people would transfer one or two characters. So, I'm not sure that Blizzard even realizes there is a problem.

I transfered 5 back to back, with my visa check card that is tied straight to my checking account. So your mileage may vary, but I didn't have any issues. but may want to check with your bank / credit provider so they don't flag it as suspect and lock you down. The last thing you want is to be in limbo over the holiday and have to be one of the many on hold Monday morning.

When I first started 5 boxing, American Express declined 3 accounts when the monthly cycle came around. They had put a security hold on it for too many charges. A phone call to them straightened it out. Had no problems with starting all the accounts though strangely enough.

Just for future reference - the transfers + faction change went through without any issues, so no problem there. I had the same issue as aboron with upgrades, but apparently it's not the same policy regarding transfers :-)
