Can you use a prepaid master card to upgrade a trial account to a full account and also add game time?

It depends on if the issuer allows transactions to Iceland. My debit card (Mastercard), issued through my bank, will not allow me to subscribe to the game anymore. So I've had to purchase game time through Amazon, something CCP wasn't sure would work but it does. That's been my only work around for this issue.

You, too, can be a Solid Gold dancer.

You can link your account to your Amazon account. I had no issues with it when I purchased 6 months of game time.

Currently use the same method of payment.

Login to EVE Account Management.

Account Management -> Game Time -> Add Game Time -> Payment Method -> Select Amazon.

You'll be redirected to Amazon.com. At that point, it's just like any other purchase on Amazon.
