Hi,
Can someone from supercell tell me if I have two different game center accounts for myself and my son
and both of us play clash of clans on our shared iphone & ipad, Can I use the same debit card to pay for gems
on both accounts?
I heard that you can get both accounts locked if they both use the same card but would like to know, as
if this is the case I will invest in some itunes gift cards.
regards
PompeyPaul
Pretty sure you can. Apple handles most of those transactions anyway. Supercell only counts the money.
bumping, like to get an answer soon.
YES. I do it with my son's base. Thank god he can't delete ♥♥♥♥ anymore.Quote:

Yes, but in order to do that you must log on to your device, change the Game Center to his account, then buy. I've done it plenty of time, but if its too complicated just buy iTunes gift card
Did they answer you yet? :)Quote:

Don't bother trying to use the same ipad for two different accounts. It is a pain in the colon doing that. Just use two different iOS devices.

You specifically said two different gamecenter accounts though. Gamecenter doesn't do purchases, it's the Apple ID/iTunes Store account which is logged in that does. In-app purchases will be charged against the Apple ID that downloaded/installed the program (and has to match). Unless you have a separate Apple ID that installed the program on each device, you are going to make the purchases only under 1 Apple ID anyhow.
I think that is okay
Cuz I can use the same credits card in two different Apple accounts~
I'm not sure if I am understanding you correctly. Do you have two accounts on two devices or two accounts on one device?Quote:

Hello, Pompey. I think I get the gist of your concern, and let me try breaking this down.Quote:

That is controlled within the "settings" panel (then iTunes & App Stores selection) on your iPhone/iPad. Usually, people set up both devices with the same Apple ID for billing purposes within a single family. For me, I have the same Apple ID for billing on both my iPad and my iPhone (not because of family, but because I just only want to deal with one billing).
By the way, within each Apple ID, you can set up different credit card payments, of course... but the issue here I believe is you wish to have separate GC for you and your son, yet wish to use the same credit card/Apple ID. So, if you just use one Apple ID for billing, you will be fine.
However, in order to have separate CoC alts on your two profiles, you will need to set up a second gaming GC for your son. Which it sounds like you did. So, in Gamecenter, log into separate GC profiles on your two devices. But, within the Settings/ iTunes & App Stores, selection, keep it to one Apple ID on both devices.
And, of course, don't share your billing password with your son.
Was this what you were looking for?
