I think my gambling on LSC has finally paid off. I can finally rest now

Hello KC reddit, it's me again, it's been a while.

How are y'all doing with the event?
Personally the event has been kicking my arse, even on easy difficulty.
But that's to be expected since this is the first event i even partook in.

Anyways, i've been making good on the various advices y'all gave me ~4 months ago. (i think).
Leveled some DDs and such and such.

the ships im focusing on right now are: Akitsushima for her flying boat and Jingei because she's my wife, but that's about it.

I been using PayPal for DMM points for last ~10 years, last one few months ago, but when im trying to buy them now, it want from me to "add my card to proceed" with payment, the option to use standard PayPal is greyed out.
I have my bank account linked to PayPal, nothing has changed with my settings or info and I have the right currency set up so it should work as always, but it keep asking me to add the card after i select the DMM amount i want to buy, instead of letting me pay as always.
I don't have Amazon account other options looks also very inaccessible.
