You can also buy Minecraft through prepaid cards found in physical stores in the US at Walmart, Bestbuy, and Target for $26.95
Go to Walmart, Bestbuy, or Target and buy the Minecraft software download gift card. It looks like the picture on top. Back from the store you create or login to your Mojang account on account.mojang.com. There you redeem the code on the card.

This would be good for people who don't have Paypal, a Credit Card or Debit Card, or other way to pay online, but still want to buy Minecraft by using a giftcard for Minecraft.
It also seems pretty easy to redeem the giftcard for Minecraft.
The price is affordable for such a big game which you can play for hours on the PC, Laptop, and Windows Tablet.
I like the design of the Giftcard. It looks very colorful.
Hopefully, this deal comes to Canada, and other countries.
