    What's the problem?

    If you are in the US and buy from one of the online resellers like Powernotebooks, GenTechPC, etc. you should be able to buy with your VISA without a problem.

    At the end of the day, VISA is VISA is VISA.

    For example, the VISA card that I got in the US is valid in Eurpoe, as well.

    Geared2Play (now BtoTech) takes all their online orders through paypal. On top of that, they are a top class Asus reseller, with great turn around times and fantastic service and warranty policies.

    Does your family not have credit cards? You need to work this out with a dealer or your family, there's way too much fraud on the internet for us to allow a thread asking for people to buy a computer for you with a credit card with the promise of reimbursement and I'm going to have to close this thread. Sorry, you may be well intended but there's too many scams that happen with things such as this so people should never take the risk.
