Hippo Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hello, Is it possible to pay for the exam using VISA Electron? I ask because I heard some people had problems with it. Also , I don't see a field of adress associated with the card holder. Do they use this feature? Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svetyk Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hi Hippo, When I was inquiring our local IREX office in Kiev for the registretion information, they told me that if I use my Visa Electron, it won't work. Don't know what is the exact reson for that (probably the format of those cards do not feet properly with the original one). What I did to solve this problem is easy - just get the Visa Internet card which is rather cheap to register and works perfectly for ETS registration (already checked it :cool:). And regarding your second question - no, it seems there is no difference whose card you use to pay for taking the test - as it is simply the matter of crediting its account. If you have any further questions, welcome!!! Best regards, Svetlana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hello Svetlana, Thank you for the answer. I thought about VISA Internet too, but I hesitated because it is pure russian invention, and I wan't sure if it works with the ETS. But now I know that it does! ;-) Hope you make your best at the exam. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svetyk Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hi again, thanks for the kind words and I also wish you luck at your test taking. :) Regarding Visa Internet: When you register it, you'll get the same numbers for both your accound and card. As you can guess, this is the virtual card, so you won't get the plastic itself, only that card/account number and secure code. The same numbers issue really confused me, because I'm used to the usual way of credit/debit card when you have different account number and card number. Maybe you'll find this information useful further on. Best Regards, Svetlana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 Thank you Svetlana for the information, And what about secure code(I'm not sure what does it mean). Should I give it over during my call to ETS or providing my VISA account will be enough? Best regards, Maxim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svetyk Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hi Maxim, the secure code is just an alternative to the PIN-code you have to memorise when you get the plastic card. You need it just for the security identification purposes, so that only you can have the fullest range of rights while using the card through Internet. And, yes, providing the account number and the experation date will be enough for your registration. This is what the registration form asks for (after specifying yout type of payment and card). Besides, if you specify youir email and put a checkmark into the 'send response via email' (or smth. like that), you'll get your registration feedback much faster (I've got it the next day I send them the fax).

Hippo Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 Now it's clear. Thank you very much Svetlana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
