I am very discouraged with the Ultimate Game Card process. You buy a card from a store that has Prepaid Credit Cards aswell. If you buy a UGC you buy a card for $20 and when you go to activate it it charges you 3.99 per $20. So you have to buy another UGC to pay the 3.99. You go to buy another card for $20 more and are only able to activate $30 total. you end up paying $6.49 for activating $30. In exchange you are rewarded 3200 zen, $6.49 in fees and $3.51 in credit on a card i never intend on making the mistake to buy again.

All you have to do is buy the Prepaid Credit Card. You pay an upfront fee at the cash register. You come home and set up a Google account. Add your PCC to your Google account and there you have it. Charge your zen. Choose your Google payment amount. and you get dollar for dollar what you put on the card minus the fee you payed for the *reloadable* Prepaid Credit Card. Simple and effective.

I'm just sorry I'm the loser that had to go threw it for all of you to have access to this Ultimate Game Card review. Dont Waste Your Time with it.b:angry

    Yeah thats what I did. Google checkout takes reloadeable cards and it's less hassle than buying a game card. This is if you don't have a credit or debit card to use. O_o

    BS you did it wrong, There was a sticky saying "DONT USE THE 20$ OPTION"
    When you goto the site you'll see that once u select the UG payment option 10$ is clearly apart from the 20 and 30$ options and then you pay no activation fee.
    Just select 10$ twice.

    I've used a few of them and it worked perfectly fine for me.

    off course! all the payment methods have their own disadvantagesb:surrender. After buying the game card you have to pay a Card/Activation Fee of 2.45 per card. Then the site also charges a fee, so you cant plat with a $20 card, you need to also use another card to get your balance high enough.

    But advantage is that UGC gives access to awesome ultimate gaming within few minutes of redeeming the card and PayByCash.com is the easiest way to pay for over 300 popular online games! b:thanks

    This is the correct way to do it. Brayl, you did it the incorrect way. I've used Ultamate game cards all the time. Its my prefered method. I've never had to pay extra to get my full card's worth.

    Yes use the 10dollar UGC and you should be fine. I use google or paypal more though since UGC is a rip off company.

    I say who should be responsible? Should the loyal members of PWI be held accountable for being supportive? Should we lose our money for the mistake of some 3rd party company that PWI chooses to send us to?

    PWI gives us "loyal members" several different options to pay for zen. This way gives players the most options to be able to pay for the game. If this method does not work for you, then use another method. I prefer paypal. Some of my friends perfer google. And some of the other posters in this thread prefers UGC. To hold PWI responsible for the fees of the method you selected to pay with is just idiotic.

    I never had a problem with ultimate game cards. when ever I bought one and used it, it never required me to spend $4 more to use it. When I finished the transaction though it did say I paid $17.28, but I still got 2000 Zen for it.

    Just wanted you all to know I've never had any problems with it.
