How exactly do you do this? I have a 3HK SIM I use with my iPad on the mainland for when I want uncensored internet without paying separately for a VPN, and my credit's run out. Usually I pay a mainland-based seller on Taobao for a recharge voucher, but I decided I wanted to earn points instead and use my American credit card. However, when I try to recharge on the website, I can't figure out how it works.

Here's how far I've gotten when I've tried on their website:

Step 1: I type in my phone number and check digit, click "next".

Step 2: It only asks for the recharge amount, my name, and my e-mail address. I do so, and click "next".

Step 3: It gets stuck here on the "processing" screen. I don't even get a chance to enter my credit card info. Is there something else that's supposed to be happening?
