You had an in store manager take an over the phone credit card payment? Are they even allowed to do that? Seeing as how that could cause trouble, I would still recommend going through a US friend or family member you TRUST to get a card. But, fair warning, if you do get a card and use it for a membership in a non US territory or other country you can loose said membership with no compensation. All it takes is one person to report you have a membership outside the US and yours is gone. (Yes, really, happened to a friend of a Hollow buddy. She lives in India, and one mean little person reported she wasn't American. D revoked her membership, no questions asked.) It all boils down to one thing. D doesn't like to mess with currency exchange rates.
