EA Cards

[sablestorm]

I've seen these $20 EA Cards over at Walmart and I remember others talking here in Uhall about using them to buy gametime codes. Can someone verify that I can use these with the Origin store and how does it work? Does it give me $20 credit with the store or would it work like a debit card, charge me for the code leaving $7 on the card?

I use them all the time. On the Origin site you redeem the EA Cash Card and the $20 goes into your Origin "wallet". Then you can buy whatever you want. Any leftover money stays in your "wallet" until you buy something else.

Excellent, thank you!

What Barok said. Also, there's two different cards (EA & Origin), if you can't find the other. Both work though.

Yeah, I haven't seen the Origin cards, but I did see the EA Cards. Thanks!

I get the origin cards at gamestop. They have $60 ones on the wall, but $20 under counter if you ask.

If you use them, does it still take 24 hours for them to verify a code to send you?

Nope. Takes me about that long to get to my email though.

I been preaching this for 2 years. Best way to protect your bank and credit cards by buying the EA cards or Origin cards for safer and faster service.

Glad you found them.

I just use PayPal on the Origin store to buy my gametime and the codes arrive instantly. They show on the website right after I have paid.
