    They sell little Visa Gift Cards, it's essentially a credit card, but you've already paid for it.

    I've always used PaysafeCards, you can just buy then at a store nearby.

    This topic is quite complicated, especially if your parents are like mine: super strict and controlling. I have gotten ranks 3 times though, and there are many steps needed to take.
    1) get the money of your own. don't ask them to pay money FOR YOU. BUT, the trick to this is that the money you get, you can prove that you made it on your own. Such as: getting a good grade or doing chores.
    2) your parents should be in a happy mood and keep them that way until the rank has been FULLY BOUGHT. before asking them, they should be in a good mood. Maybe give them something to snack on such as FRUIT before asking. And when you ask them, make it subtle, not like your desperate. And when they say yes, don't jump up and scream. Just thank them calmly and wait until they have bought it.
    3) whoever is around will have this moment in their mind. does someone have something to say which will ruin your "plan?". Then make sure that they are not going to go wherever you are and catch your parent buying it for you. Especially when its a sibling and you don't want them to complain.
    4) FINAL STEP- when upgrading to a rank, or leveling up on the tower, DO IT IN ONE WHOLE JUMP. Save up money secretly. Or else you will have to do this every single time you buy something. Sadly, I had to do it every time with the risk of my mom changing her mind
    EDIT: 5) oh and BTW... if your parents say: "well, if I catch you not doing your homework... bleh bleh bleh", act like you're fine with it. If you say: FINNNEEE. UGH. They might have a different view on your approach.

    For me, this works. Hopefully it helps you. Good luck!

    Well I just love minecraft and don't really buy any other games (stuff online)but if I do firstly my parents don't like computer games so I wait for my bday and spend my money or if you want to buy something online I have a friend who takes my money in real life and buys it online for someone. Or I can buy gift cards from my store ( I live in Spain )

    This is how I approach it. I have bought Donator, Vip, premium, /repair and kit fulldiamond4. I know thats a lot, and twice because of my brother, I earned it all. Do you play any video games besides mc, like xbox? If so tell your parents and you have to have the money, that its like a video game. say thats it just like a video game for xbox except it for pc/mac. Always keep ypur grades up, and be resepctful! Good Luck!

    If you got some IRL cash, give it back to your parents and say "Can you buy to me something on internet :3?".
    If you do a kawai face, you'll get more chances ;)!
