You mean spend the money via Steam? Or you mean just go to the Gaijin website and buy gold there?

The only issue you should have is that the Gold sometimes takes only a few seconds or sometimes a few minutes to appear on your account. Logging out and back in to the game after 5 or 10mins usually sorts it out,. Once they were having problems and it took about 40 minutes for my gold to arrive, think it was just really busy around xmas time

No,I meant from Gaijin website. I was worried about credit card info theft

I've never purchased anything from their website. But I see no reason to think it is unsafe in any way. I say you're safe.

If you are that worried, you could always try the GE apps.

Ahh. okay thanks. I will buy them in-game

Why worried about credit card thefts? The creditcard company is the thief :D you ever looked at how much money you pay them? Its much safer and less expensive nowadays to pay with your bank card

Or you can just pay off your credit card within 30 days and not worry about interest rates while enjoying the bonuses CCs provide.

The same bonusses that paypal offer, exept there you have a 6 months warrenty instead of 30 days.

Theft isn't an issue any more than any other online store. Played the non-steam version for years, and made purchases through the WT store, no fishy things to speak of.

A heads-up though, you may want to make sure your card is authorized for out-of-nation purchases. Forgot to talk to my bank about that at first.

credit card theft from bigger corporations and games like war thunder is extremely unlikely in 2018 if you're aware and somewhat careful.
I use paypal tho

The easiest thing to do is have a card that is ONLY for online purchases and have a low limit on it, so that even if it does get stolen, it reduces how much damage they can do.

Ahhh.. Thanks for the help guys..yes I have international authorization. I will get my golden eagles now. That T14 assault Sherman will join my tank crew.

Credit Cards have 6 months as well, not 30 days. It's called a chargeback and is a bit more flexible than a warranty. PayPal is better for chargebacks for consumers though, just lodge one and they pay out almost all the time, irrespective of the reason. Rips the merchant off and puts a few out of business as it's small businesses that use PayPal more.

If someone gets your credit card data, you can get the money back as long as you haven't shared the details with someone. This can give you a bit more certainty around online purchases. But it is best to give the site the once over, to ensure it's legit.

I've purchsed plenty from both Gaijin and Steam stores, not had a problem. I've been lucky enough my GE tops up immediately when purchasing those too.

What payment system is your bank card using online? I'm assuming you're referring to using your debit card?
