How to pay for NBA League Pass with a virtual dollar card

How do you pay for NBA League Pass with a dollar card?

League Pass is sold on the NBA website and in the NBA app. The plans on offer, the price and the currency shown depend on the country you are in. On the payment screen, check whether the amount is in US dollars before you confirm.

Guarapay issues a virtual prepaid Visa card with a US-dollar balance in about two minutes, in the Guarapay app or the Telegram mini app @guarapay_bot. The card works online wherever Visa cards are accepted. Some merchants may decline cards according to their own rules, so check in the app that the first charge was approved.

How do you subscribe to NBA League Pass step by step?

Open the Guarapay app or the Telegram mini app @guarapay_bot and create an account.
Issue the virtual card; the issue fee is US$ 10 on Standard or US$ 100 on Premium.
Top up the plan amount plus the US$ 0.25 per-purchase fee, using a Visa or Mastercard bank card in your own name or USDT.
In the browser, sign in to your NBA account and open the League Pass page.
Compare the plans offered for your country and see whether billing is monthly or per season.
Enter the card number, expiry date and security code, with the name as it appears in the app.
Check the amount and currency, confirm and look for the purchase notification in the app, which arrives right away.

Monthly plan or the whole season?

In many countries the NBA offers monthly billing and a single payment for the season or the year, but this varies by region and may change.

A monthly plan keeps spending in smaller pieces and is easier to pause. A season payment is taken at once, so the card balance and caps must cover the full amount plus the per-purchase fee. Either way, check on the screen whether the subscription renews automatically.

How much does it cost to pay for League Pass with the card?

The plan price is what the NBA shows at checkout; Guarapay does not change it. On the card side, you top up the subscription amount, the 2% top-up fee is taken at top-up, and each approved charge costs US$ 0.25.

On Premium the top-up fee is 1%. There is no monthly card fee, so months without games cost nothing. If you top up with a local bank card, your bank may add its own taxes and exchange rate; with USDT the top-up lands directly in dollars.

How do you avoid a renewal after the season ends?

The subscription usually renews automatically, even after the season. Before the billing date, decide whether you want to continue and keep on the card only what you plan to spend. If the balance is too low, the payment is declined and the money stays on your balance.

The card has a monthly limit of US$ 10,000 on Standard and US$ 100,000 on Premium. In the app you set a lower monthly cap and a per-purchase cap, and you can freeze the card in one tap when the season ends.

Why was my League Pass payment declined?

Insufficient balance: it must cover the plan and the US$ 0.25 per-purchase fee.
Caps in the app: the monthly or per-purchase cap may be lower than the plan price, especially for a season plan.
Frozen card: unfreeze it in the app before trying again.
A name or billing address that differs from what the app shows.
Try again after a few minutes and, if it still fails, contact support through the Telegram bot in the app or on the website.

What mistakes are most common?

Subscribing in the mobile app, where the charge may go through the app store, while expecting to pay with the card typed on the website.
Not checking the currency on the payment screen and topping up less than the amount charged.
Choosing a season plan with a per-purchase cap lower than its price.
Forgetting the automatic renewal once the games are over.
