    The pre-paid cards are like other payment systems: they give you zhen on your account, and then you determine what server(s) to convert it to gold on. Only characters on the servers you send it to will have access to the gold.

    I meant which characters to send the mount/dyes to. Also, has anyone ever thought that PWI might not have the MONEY or INFLUENCE to get their cards somewhere besides target? Cut them some slack!

    It seems that the "international" part in perfect world international means prepaid card + chance to win new mount only for americans. And The rest of the americas and europe? Nothing at all... nothing at all nothing at aaaalll

    for me, while I live in the US, it's a 70+ mile drive one way to the nearest target.. and I'm not going to drive that far to get cards to give me a chance to win something that

    1, I won't win (I don't win anything)..
    2, should be available in the cash shop (the description says the "yet to be released" fox mount.. so that implies that they are planning on releasing it)
    3, why spend the $ on gas/wear & tear on my vehicle when I could just put it directly on my credit card and not have the extra expenditure.

    I mean, if I want to put 50 bux onto my pw account, I can either use my card and spend 50 bux.. or, I can drive 140 miles ($12 for gas at $2 per gallon), buy 5 of the cards 53.25 (including 6.25% sales tax) and then use them.. 1 at a time (which means a minimum of 3 cards since they are only available in 10 & 20 values..) then goto the site, buy $20 zen 2x and buy $10 zen 1x (and don't even get the extra 3G bonus for buying 50G worth because you had to do it in such small increments.

    so.. choice is.. spend $50 for 53G or, spend $62 (minimum) for 50G+miniscule chance of winning (5 in what? 2 million?)

    lol so your best option is to either charge or find someone like me to send money to via paypal and buy them that way. I've had a few in game friends do that.

    5 of the cards 53.25 (including 6.25% sales tax)

    My Target counted them as gift cards so no tax...

    Yeah, the Target next to my apartment doesn't apply sales tax on it.
    Otherwise, 9.25% sales tax per card = ouch.... x.x;;;;;

    I stated in the message that they may or may not include tax, so I did my calcuations both ways.

    my best option is to charge.. because paypal takes out a fee, and again, the cards are 10 or 20, so I can't buy 50G and get the 3G bonus (unless they are allowing you to redeem more than 1 card per "order" so to speak.. but that is still 50+paypal fees as opposed to just 50

    Hello,

    The Perfect World Entertainment pre-paid cards are currently only available in USA Target retail stores. Please contact your local target with the below information and they can assist you in finding a location near you that has the cards.

    $20 pre-paid card
    UPC# 799366626183
    DPCI# 012150328

    $10 pre-paid card
    UPC# 799366629603
    DPCI# 012150327

    The DPCI# is the product code Target uses for this product and they should be able to find these pre-paid cards and check inventories with the above information. Just ask if they can locate the product at the closest store to you. Please note that some stores may not have the plan-o-gram updated for the section of the store these will go in so it is possible the product is in the store but not on the shelf. Also, some stores may not have been given a shipment of the cards yet as well so it may take a few weeks for all of the stores that will carry them to have them on the shelf for sale or even in stock. If you cannot locate these cards near you, then unfortunately you will have to either wait for them to be more-readily available or choose a different payment option. The Ultimate Game Card is at many locations including Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid, and 7-Eleven stores nation-wide. They can also be used with us for purchasing ZEN and act exactly like the PWE pre-paid cards.

    Hope this information helps you all! b:pleased

    ***ADDITIONAL UPDATE***

    We have had some questions in regards to the entries for the contest. Every $10 in pre-paid cards redeemed will be an entry and not per card. So for any of you that were thinking of buying a card will not lose out if only one or the other is available in your local Target retail store. Thank you.

    Not fully understanding this bit does the ultimate game card count as an entry or not ? Or is it ONLY the Pre-Paid cards ?

    i suppose it would cost them mega bucks to distribute around the world...but still, all those who'd like to buy the pre-paid cards who dont live in North America, are gunna be disappointed in Perfect World Entertainment.

    1 mount per server

    5 mounts total

    the chances to win out of so many people on 1 server are very slim. it's like trying to pick up 1 egg during the easter event that just passed.

    good luck to those who enter and are hoping to win a mount.

    just be prepared to see a lot of "omg!!! i spent 1k on prepaid cards and i didn't win anything!!!!" threads...

    Yes i'm disappointed, very very... this is unfair for non usa players, but well i hope if they re thinking in teh future compensate this, because i think that the non-usa players DESERVE a compensation, get special prizes too like now... right, PWI must think in ALL their players more if know that what comes soon U_U

    I saw this same person on LC yesterday...I believe the name is "Soho." I am wondering if it is a test since it is showing up on the different servers with the same character.

    I wouldn't think so; if it WAS a test the GMs would be using one. Although the different servers thing is odd. Oo

    Edit: oh duh the calendar prize. >>;; never mind XD
