No problems, whatsoever. I do it all the time, works much like using your card at any store.

Buying Wii points off the wii seems a lot easier than buying wii point cards at other stores.

It's cheaper than the store and faster. I bought a couple VC games and still have 200 points sitting there waiting to be spent for over a month or so now.

If it's what you're asking, it's Nintendo your buying it from, and it's pretty safe. No viruses, and nobody getting your card number.

I've never had problems with buying Wii points from the Shopping Channel.

The Wii doesn't remember things like credit card #s or internet usage like a computer does, so theres no way to hack in and take the information.  All those #s go right to Nintendo, its as safe as can possibly be.

It is completely safe. I've done it quite a few times.

keep in mind, you get charged service fees if you use a credit/debit card to buy Wii points on your Wii ... something like 60 cents per 1000 points. personally, i prefer buying wii points cards - there's no fee when you use wii points cards and i feel more secure not storing my credit card number on my wii

Sorry but i laugh to people who are scared to use credit online...

Once I was so noob and played runescape, my parents did it without being scared at all, but my cousins mother called here like 5 times just for asking is it safe ;]

 

but it's ok and it's safe to buy wii points

Yes, and there's no tax.

Sorry but check your wii recipt. You can find it on the what youv'e bought. Say hello to tax.

Hey if you are so worried, buy a wii points card.
