You can still buy 30 day codes via paypal if you use it. When you login to your paypal account, just type 'recipient' as
[email protected]. I buy quite a few for my own chars this way.
I send the equivalent of $15.99usd for each one (no idea if this is what they should cost or not) but this way I just apply a code when I want to activate, rather than let my Amex be used every month for all 6 accounts.
After you send the money, make a note of the transaction ID, then send EA a message at EA support with your info. This seems to make them e-mail your codes faster.
The info they (EA support) ask for is:
Name of account (char name) you only need one name, doesn't matter how many codes you buy.
Last code applied to the account and/or last CC used to pay along with last 8 digits of CC used.
Your e-mail address
Paypal transaction ID
They usually send the codes within 24 hours.
