Hi, I have no credit card and the only option for me to do is mail the money. There is a option to do that. I am going to put it in the mailbox tomorrow before the mail man comes. I am paying 1 month subscription 7.99$ USD I have 5 dollar bill and 3 one dollar bills I am going to send which is 8 bux. Do they charge tax? Also is it a good idea to buy member ship this way? Also I dont no if you no this but when will I be a member? Like when will it be shipped to them? This might be a stupid question but does it exactly have to be 7.99 because they said not to send coins. So I put 3 one dollar bills in the envelope and 1 Five dollar bill in the envelope.

have your parent write a check for you, sending cash in the mail is very risky.
head to target or something and buy a runescape game card? Or buy one of those visa giftcards, you can charge it like a credit card on the website.

And no, I doubt they charge a tax.

You can buy runescape Game Cards in Target? Wow. Never new runescape had stuff in stores. Why would you say it is "Very Risky"? Also my mom's check book is outdated and we will have to go get one. To be honest I never been in target and it's only 4 miles away :P

pretty sure I read something on here about them selling the game cards at target? If someone would confirm that'd be great. By "very risky" I mean that the USPS advises against sending cash in the mail.

Lets just say if a post man sees a little green in an envelope addressed to an online game company, he might be so inclined to just rip the envelope open to see how much money is in there.

If it's a check it's a waste of a federal offense, another option is to go to wal-mart or something and get a money order, cheap ones cost like 50 cents, and expensive ones can run up to like $4, but depends on where ya get them.

It is true. They also sell it at 7-Eleven and a few others.

So you mean by Very Risky is that you think the mail man or mail girl will take it? I wouldent think so. My dad sent me mail of 100$ and he didnt take it. My mom sent 230$ to my grandma and my grandma got that lol. Are mail is secured… But the only thing we need to watch out for is hood lums! They some times steal peoples mail! But that is why right when I see the mail man I will put it in there before anyone else get's to it!

The most practical solution would be to buy a card at a store (Target, Wal-Mart, 7-11, etc.)..much faster then waiting a few weeks/days to mail it.

"your" mail is secure? You know it goes all over the world? you're sending it to the UK right? You think their mail is secure?

No offense, but it's pretty naive to think that the mail is secure. Sure, most of the time in almost all cases everything is fine. But there are some dick people out there.

0_0! Wow! Okay I decided I wont send through mail. But I did not no they sell them at 7 Eleven! My mom goes there every day to get a cup of coffee! So I will just go there with her and buy one. I been in 7 eleven millions of times and I did not see no RS Game card? I just got a few questions… How much are they, 7 dollars? Are they reloadable? When u first buy it do you get instant membership? I dont mean like you buy it and you get membership I ment like when you put the number of the card on runescape Membership page.

I'm sure that not ALL 7-11 have them, depends on what the store stocks. I've actually never been to a 7-11 though.

Hmm… make sure that you go at a non bussy moment and hide the card, or you will be found dead the next morning… Good luck soldier!

Hmm…. I went to the 7 - 11 website and they dont seem to have the runescape membership cards….

EDIT: I found this: http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=1961

Um I sent cash in the mail for members for a few months before I had the option to pay via my cellphone.
It always went through perfectly,
And I was sending like 20/30 dollers canadian through the mail.
So it can be risky,
But i'm sure not every mail-man/lady has the intention of stealing 20 dollars from an envelope.

Edit: Although, I think you should try this target store (Is it a corner-type-store? probably, yes)
It would probably be easier driving and picking a card up, because it could take a while for this cash website to receive your payment.

(for me it took 7 - 12 days for my money to get to them. But I am in Canada, and I'm pretty sure they are located somewhere in the United States ( There was an address, but i'm not familiar with the States in United States (LOL)))

I hope this helps you :).

target is a department store like K-Mart, uh….like a wal-mart i without food?

the 7-11's are corner type stores, I think…lol

Last time i did that for a year membership, it took a month for it to get to them.

Hmm… Don't you have any friends or something with PayPal/a credit card and give them the money irl?
I used to do that with my brother all the time lol. I have a PayPal account he doesn't.
