Credit card payments are available for all collectibles from Alpha Season 6, including the Premium Pass, which grants access to exclusive season rewards. Avatar Collections released after September 5 can also be purchased with a credit card. Older collectibles, except for the Casio collection, cannot be enabled for credit card purchases due to the structure of their smart contracts. Even when paying with a card, buyers must have a Web3 wallet to claim their purchased items.
