Preordering without a credit card

Any debit cards from the major credit companies that can be used for signature transactions should work (no PIN transactions). Otherwise, paypal will likely be available once the beta begins.

you make my day... by the way, what is the ETA for the beta... wish to buy Skyrim next month but i can delay it if Rebellion beta begin next month...

Ok, will wait for beta to begin and use PayPal.

I think i want to participate in Beta too. I was planning to wait for finished game, but those recent previews/interviews made me excited. I have no experience with buying the game digitally, there is a lot of talk about Steam-integration - can i pre-order it from Steam? Additionally, i have a Visa Electron Debit Card from my bank, it works for buying stuff from Apple Store to my iPhone... it should work for pre-ordering then as well, right? 

Pre-orders initially will be from Stardock only, as we want to keep the testing group from getting too big. You can do so from the Purchase link above.

If you can sign for payment rather than using a PIN, it should.

I have bought the previous SoaSE games and am unable to pre-order the new game because I only have Paypal. Am I still going to be able to make use of the discount ($29.95) when Paypal orders are accepted?

Yup. The beta will be "active" for at least a week so that everyone who needs to use PayPal can get in.

Will I be able to benefit from the 10 dollar discount if I wait until I can pay with paypal?

Same here, I am anxious to know.
I can place an order on Stardock with the $10 previous Sins : Trinity owner discount, and a -10% survey coupon but...
Since they're still stuck in the digital stone age without Paypal or support for debit cards, I am kind of stuck.

I hope there will be a window to purchase it at this price, or frankly, Im not willing to spend more than $30 when I should be able to pre-purchase it now at roughly $25.

Yup, make sure you get in during the window, though. 

Repost from other thread, can somebody help please>

There i did it, finally broke my fears and preordered it. Shit, i feel so insecure about this online transactions. BTW it says copy of the receipt was sent to my mail, but so far nothing new on my inbox Can someone please confirm my order was accepted and i did everything right? In the top right corner there is the (1)Cart, when i click on it, the first step of buying shows up, the one before you click on checkout. Am i missing something?

One more question, is my credit cart info now stored with your system? I would frankly prefer if this could be done without it, as one-off order, like on Steam...

 Thank  you

Preorders are stored and not charged until you're issued a key. If you do not want your payment information stored, you'd need to wait until the open beta and purchase for immediate charge then.

If you need to confirm a preorder, you can contact [email protected].

Thanks a lot for your answer. Does this mean, that the receipt has not been sent to my mail, despite it said so, but will be so, once the beta is open and i am issued the beta-key? What are the chances, it will happen by tommorow? 

In regard to the storing of payment information, i suppose i am just being paranoid. I have been using my debit card for digital purchases only since last november, when i got iPhone and wanted to buy apps from their store, therefore i am not really experienced in using it - not that its rocket science - but i still feel slightly "insecure", everytime i do.

Another question, when I want to pre-order rebellion from the stardock store I get:

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion [Pre-Order]-

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion Upgrade [PO]-

Giving me a total of €48,42

What, I don't even...

No option to pay with paypal either.

Sounds like you have two items in your cart somehow. Delete them both and start over. Payment with PayPal won't be available until the beta is available.
