Acquiring HQ Platinum

[Tangerine]

Why were you making purchases with my old card in Florida? One of you gayfatretards tried to buy a gym membership.

He wanted to be a gayretard instead of a gayfatretard.

Just get a european friendly way to pay, Rusty.

I don't think other euro countries actually have this issue, just germany.

Just tried to find these European banks via Stripe:

HQ IN GERMANY
Deutsche Bank
Commerzbank
Volksbank

HQ IN AUSTRIA
Erste Bank
Raiffeisen
Bawag

HQ IN FRANCE
BNP Paribas

HQ IN ITALY
UniCredit

HQ IN SWITZERLAND
UBS

HQ IN THE NETHERLANDS
ING DiBa

All of them are the biggest banks in their respective countries. None of them can be found via Stripe.

The only European bank I could find was Citibank (HQ in Ireland), so my guess is Stripe only offers banks with HQs in the USA, UK, Ireland, Australia, NZ and Canada.

As mentioned by someone else in this thread, Amazon Pay can only be used if you create an account via amazon.com (amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, etc. doesn't work). And with amazon.com you have the same problem as with Stripe: You cannot add an European bank account.

I also looked into this CashApp option a few months ago. Had a problem with it as well. I can't remember exactly what it was. Either the app can't be downloaded from European app stores, or there are similar problems to those with Stripe and Amazon.com.

So the only option left for Europeans is to pay by credit card.

Add Sparkasse to the Germany list. It is also not available.

Literal humiliation ritual. You do not hate bankers enough.

Last week for the pumpkin pig?

Last week for the pumpkin pig?

Yes, don't know if I'll retire it altogether or bring or back next year.

[rusty_shackleford]

I hope everyone has acquired his or her post-Christmas pre-New Years HQ Platinum!

[J1M]

Bought my HQ plat early this year. Looking forward to the silver/opal/amethyst/topaz/whatever pig.

[asf]

do you take stolen credit cards

2026 is the year of the black pig

[Maledict]

2026 is the year of the black pig

I may have to pass on buying platinum then as I hate blacks.

[rusty_shackleford]

Added 2026 HQ Platinum, took me a bit because there's a good deal of administrative work to wire everything up, I'll probably fix this sometime before next year to speed up the process.

No piggy yet as I'm still contemplating what the 2026 Piggy should be. Expect it to land late January/early February.

[Mordred]

color it in the greenland flag

what do you mean you added 2026 platinum but no piggy?
what the hell is 2026 platinum

and dont say "buy it and find out" you conman

[Bertram_Tung]

I am contractually obligated to state that I apologize for the previous outburst and give my strongest endorsement to the new and improved 2026 HQ Platinum.

@rusty_shackleford is a platinum dealer of the highest integrity and honor.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just realized the citrine piggy might look too similar to the gold piggy
I spent a good deal of time trying to pick the gemstone too

It is known as the "Merchant's Stone"

Tried to improve the subsurface scattering to better mimic gemstone, any preference?

But it WOULD be better with sparkles

[Maledict]

Make the pig purple or green.

And for naming options:

Purple gemstones:
- Sugilite
- Charoite
- Amethyst

Green gemstones:
- Emerald
- Peridot

[Stack of Turtles]

do birthstone piggies by month, get 12× the donations

[J1M]

Please no animations.

[Acrux]

Animate every single badge

[Tangerine]

Animate every character of text.

[rusty_shackleford]

I'll let whoever buys the most HQ platinum decide
(start buying now to be #1)

[Acrux]

Bring back "marching ants" fonts

[maidenhaver]

I think platinum should do more than potato. Whatever it does, it should be a show of gratitude. Cuckdex potato doing nothing an adblock can't isn't funny, its just a noob trap.

If you gib a streamer money, he says thanks and reads your post. Movie night could have been a paypiggy thing. Paypigs decide what to watch that month, and the rest of us vote which or what order.
