So apparantly those are the only 2 credit cards you can use to buy wii points with a credit card, so now that option is officially out of my reach. Does Ninty know that they are really losing a lot of customers by not offering a larger array of credit cards to use? Your thoughts? Thanks.

Buy a Visa Gift Card at commercegiftcard.com or some other place. After that, you could buy Wii points and other stuff.

What card do you have that they don't take?  Discover, American Express, Shell, Diner's Club ...

Different credit cards charge different amounts to retailers.  Nintendo must get a low rate from Visa and Mastercard.

WHY?
If the card you have isn't an option and buying a Wii points card isn't an option, then that would lead to the assumption that downloading game from the VC isn't an option.

I was about to mention that. :) I think Discover and Amex have the highest rates which is probably why Nintendo wants to stay away from them.

Why don't you use one of your other credit card types to buy a wii points card online somewhere?

You do realize the merchants have to pay fees to credit companies for carrying them,don't you?  It makes better since to target what 90% of the population is using instead of spending money what the other 10% are may have in their pocket.
