    if your buying with US dollars in the USA than a twenty dollar card ( of which you pay a bit more than that due to taxes) will get you 20 gold. same goes for any monetary amount. $1 (US) = 100 zen = 1 gold

    You will get the full $20 in gold. I always buy gift cards if I can, since PWI is over seas, my bank will charge me a foreign transaction fee up to $9. I did not know this at first and it was a big surprise when I saw my statement. Check with your bank if you do get charged a fee, go with gift cards. Only downside to gift cards is you do not get the bonus zen that you do when you use a regular credit card.

    No. I've purchased cards at both walmart and target and tax isn't added to them.

    But to answer you question 1 dollar = 1 gold, 7 dollars = 7 gold, Etc

    If you have a family member working at Wal-Mart, you can get the cards cheaper thru discount.b:shutup

    It completely depends on where you live. Think twice speak once. Or in this case, research twice and type once. It will help you avoid making more asinine statements in the future.
