im thinking of purchasing an ultimate game card.but around here all they have is 20$ ones. i live in new york in the U.S.

lemme get to the point. on the billing page i go to recharge.and all i see is a 10$ card option. now im wondering if i bought the 20$ one would it take it? like take it as im charging twice with a 10$ card? or what? or would i have to find a place with 10$ ones?

    you can buy the 20$ card and use it in the 10$ card option but you will only get 10 gold instead of 20. But the other 10$ will be send to a paybycash account (its made when you do the billing thing for the card option), once that happens you can click the card option again and should get message saying if you like to use your balance. If it don't pop up you can hit use paybycash balance and should let you use the remaining 10$ hope I helped. b:pleased

    Why not use paypal's quick pay option and you can go up to as high as $50 if you want. XD

    Yeah, due to a transaction incident a long time ago PWI removed the 20$ card option from the list, and they said to charge a 20$ card as two 10$'s. For some this has worked and others seem to still have to use the pay by cash option (directly underneath ultimategamecard option), and endup gettin only 10$ worth out of there 20$ card with 8$ left over in your accoutn to pay for fees for future cards. In my opinion, if the charging a 20$ card as two 10$'s doesnt work, try venturing to a Blockbuster, who generally sell 10$ cards, and buy those instead of the 20$'s.

    Hey guys,

    Just for clarity, you do have to use the $10 option twice when making the Ultimate Game Card payments with a $20 card. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use the cash options underneath the UGC option because the bottom four cash options will add additional fees and leave you with change amounts. The UGC option is designed to absorb the fee for you, creating the round $10 payment with no change, this also makes it so that a $20 card uses all $20. If you use the $20 cash option, additional fees will make your $20 game card cost you $24 (roughly) which is not the intention of the card. Any other questions in regards to this should be directed to the billing department and we will be more than happy to assist you further.

    Thank you,
