OldFatGuy: I too live in the US and I can attest to the fact that Paypal at least used to work (I haven't used Paypal in years) here. In fact, IIRC, you could use a credit card (or gift card I guess????) that gog normally wouldn't accept as long as it went "through" Paypal. I had an American Express card linked to my Paypal account that when I tried American Express itself it didn't work here but when I went through Paypal it would work.

Have no idea whether Paypal still works though.

And there really should be some Visa or Mastercard gift cards that will work, but as mentioned above read the fine print first. Many gift cards won't work internationally but many will. I guess it's a caveat emptor thing.
I found another way I can purchase the games. I noticed that PayPal is an option, but I just thought of an even better way: Google Pay. I can use Google Play gift cards, put the funds into Google Pay, and buy the games that way.

That is, if it works.

Let us know if this works. The more info the better for all.
Just woke up with the fantastic idea and the thread is going on already...

I want to buy a GOG's Internal Gift Card, like most supermarkets and internet services are selling.
- It will only work with our library
- You can buy it for yourself=wallet, you can't buy it for your friend=why?
- let's say in Dalla'= 5$ & 10$ & 20$ virtual Gift Cards that will top up your Friend's account
- to work as a redeemed code
- more customers, easy tracking, very social
- the perfect gift, the addressee is choo choosing his/her games, no more unwanted gifts
- some refund policy only to the Wallet
- I need it now for Christmas
- Thank You! 💝
