    Do you have to use a credit card to purchase apps from Google Play?

    I have tried my Visa Debit card and my Prepaid mastercard (swirl card) and both have been declined. Any ideas?

    Would a virtual credit/debit card work? Never tried it myself so I'm not sure.

    My ulster visa works no hassle, did you set it up on google wallet?

    Do the prepaid cards need to be validated? eg send a small charge etc etc

    My Visa debit card is with AIB and should be grand so can't figure out why It isnt working. I tried add my swirl card again and seemed to work but didn't go ahead and try and purchase anything since I dont have it topped up. Don't want to top it up if it isn't going to work like

    Sorry I meant Bank of Ireland. Anyway I tried use the card today at POS and was declined so must be a card issue.

    Thanks for the help :)
