Paying by paypal is the fastest way to get a game.

Actually, if you have your credit card details saved on Steam it's basically purchased in one click. If you use PayPal you need to click to be put through to the PayPal login screen, you need to enter your PayPal password, then you need to confirm the purchase via PayPal again.

So, actually, paying via PayPal is slowest way to get the game out of the two options.
 
You could also just top up your Steam wallet, but you'd have to do that through PayPal or your Credit Card anyways. :P

I love doing that when dlc comes on special I sometimes have $2 something dollars left and can quickly snatch the special without having to pay Credit card transaction fee on such a small amount.

Heh, I've got a Student Credit card, so I don't have transaction fees. :P

I don't have a student credit card. I got two normal cards. One with Standard Bank and one with FNB and neither of them charge me transaction fees.

If the card is a mastercard or visa cheque card then I understand potentially having a transaction fee.
 
I use my FNB visa and all my electronic transactions are free, but suppose it depends on the type of account you're on.

Can't find it anywhere on absa website but my dad tole me its on his statement at the end of the month. Like if you under R100 you pay someting like R14 fee on it.

Good question on the Midweek special. Maybe they gearing up for one of those Whole week valve specials.

hmm, very strange. No credit card I have ever used has done that. Interesting.
