Safe & Secure Credit Card Accepting Cam Sites
Credit cards are by far the most commonly used payment methods. All of the leading live cam sites accept them, but the question is, which give the best benefits and perks if you use a card at the site? We take a look at which cards are accepted and how to make sure you get the best deals at these leading webcam platforms if you're whipping out the plastic.
The major concern most have when it comes to using a credit card online is that of security. All of the platforms reviewed on Top10 Webcam Sites has been vetted and verified to ensure they use industry-leading safety and protection protocols. In a moment we'll explain how to check that a site is secure and your data protected in a few easy steps. But for now, let's see what each of the leading 5 live webcam sites offer in ways of extras they give to credit card users.
Credit Card Extra Benefits
All major credit cards offer a rewards program. The more you spend on your card, the more points you get which can be redeemed for products, services, air miles, hotel stays and even gift cards. Some credit cards offer a cash-back system where a certain percentage of your expenditure is credited back into your account.
LiveJasmin, Flirt4Free, and LivePrivates, each reward new users who verify a credit card with bonus credits/tokens. Flirt4Free is the more generous, with a gift of 120 free credits when you register and link your profile to a credit card (no purchase necessary). These credits could cover a few minutes of private live video chat in one of their cheaper rooms.
CamSoda doesn't give out free credits as such, but if you use your credit card and purchase a VIP cam site membership monthly subscription, you get a host of site extras, including a one-time gift of 200 free CamSoda tokens (which is worth slightly more than the $19.95 monthly fee).
Security & Pay-As-You-Go
As we mentioned earlier, there are a few simple steps you can take to make sure that not only is a cam site secure, but if any online platform you're on is secured. Always check that the URL features HTTPS and not just HTTP before the address. HTTP is an acronym for Hypertext Transfer Protocol - the S simply stands for Secure. The second step is to check for the small padlock icon before the address. It should be a closed padlock.
Streamate is a site included in this list, even though using a credit card doesn't give you freebies. But what it does offer, is a pay-as-you-go method linked to your credit card. At this site, there's no stocking up on site credits or tokens. Any paid activity is automatically charged to the credit card you put on file.
Then, there's Cherry.tv, which lets you choose between Deals and Tokens. You can purchase a token bundle once-off, or opt for Daily, Weekly, and Monthly packages the renew automatically.
Which Credit Cards Are Accepted?
Visa, Mastercard, Discover and JCB are accepted by all the sites. The table below shows exactly which cards are permitted at which sites.
| Site | Visa | Mastercard | Maestro | Discover | JCB | Diners Club | American Express |
| CamSoda | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | — |

If your chosen card isn't accepted by your preferred site, yet you still want to use it to pay for some private cam fun, there are ways to get around the exclusion. The simplest way it to link your credit card to a PayPal account and pay for cam girls with PayPal, which is ultimately charged to your chosen card. Other ways include purchasing a prepaid card or brand name gift card, and then redeeming the value of that card for site currency. However, you will be charged a processing fee, which makes this a financially less attractive option.
Conclusion
When it comes to the security and safety of using a credit card, all of the sites utilize multi-layer encryption technology to safeguard all personal and financial data given to the site. If you're the owner of a Visa, Mastercard, Discover or JCB card, it's not a question of which cam platform can you use it on, but which platform best suits your needs, regardless of your brand of credit card.
Streamate and Cherry.tv are great options if you don't want to spend time pre-buying credits/tokens before entering a show. LiveJasmin, Flirt4Free and ImLive all offer great perks when you pull out the plastic to use at the site, in addition to their galleries of gorgeous semi-pro and pro models.
CamSoda isn't among the free credit givers away just for having a card at hand, but it does let you keep a recording of a paid-for show in your CamSoda account where you can re-watch it as often as you like at no additional cost. And one last plus, it's a freemium site. This means you don't even really need to pay for a private cam session with so much intimate fun and games taking place in the models' open chat rooms where anyone can watch without paying a penny.
