Why do all the pre-paid cards have to be in the US?

+We have GameStop in Canada, why can't it count for us too?

The US gets everything, it's not fair b:cryb:cry

Give some love to us Canadians!!

    Well here's the thing, most distributors are hesitant to give such a small company wide coverage in terms of prepaid card distribution. Hopefully in the future if our partnership is successful we can branch out to other regions, but as far as something "soon" I couldn't tell you for sure.

    Taken from my thread on the first page of the Cash Shop Huddle. Which is where this thread should be. b:chuckle

    I'm in Canada too. Oh well, we'll get thrown a bone eventually ^^;

    They should be in our 7/11 as well and don't use EBGames.
    Looking for a decent casual understanding Faction.

    Are you seriously comparing health care with game cards? lol.... You know whats funny, we (Canada) export our oil to the states, and we pay higher prices for gas than you do.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    I just wish there were real $10 cards in Canada. When buying Ultimate Game Cards I have to get $40 worth because a $20 one is only worth $18.93 Canadian and you need over $20 of UGC's for the purchase to go through. >_>

    I DO! I came up with 50 gold after my latest escapade and I was set for LIFE.

    But what I was saying was that it won't complete my purchase till I have over $20 in ultimate game cards, and they only come in $20 versions. So I actually pay $40, get 20 gold now, and have a $16 balance saved to add to my next purchase. Kinda annoying IMO. >>

    Isn't it though?

    I am quite sick of having to spend $40 on cards and then getting 1/2 of it.

    Pretty please, can we get pre-paid PWI cards in Canada?b:cryb:cryb:cuteb:cute

    This probably sounds stupid for some but isn't this game called Perfect World International. So how come you can only get prepaid in the US. If this game was only for US then name it Perfect World US because they claim it is designed for english speaking countries without their own localization but the ZEN is clearly designed to favour those in the US. I reckon there should be prepaid for all the larger english speaking countries (Canada, Australia, ect), not just in the US.

    The Perfect World Entertainment prepaid cards are currently only available in the United States. We are looking into different options to be able to get our cards into more regions and we will take your suggestion into consideration. Until we can get our cards in your region, the prepaid option available to you is the Ultimate Game Card. The below link is to the Ultimate Game Card website where you can find a retailer near you that carries these cards.

    http://www.ultimategamecard.com/retailers.php?PHPSESSID=0nrnjn1k2rocpmscq1bvshnf43

    These cards are produces and processed by PayByCash and will need to be redeemed under their section on the charge page. Please let us know if you need any further help or information.

    You have a prepaid option available to you as well, just not the PWE prepaid card ;).

    if you want a prepaid card in canada go to 711 and buy an ultimate game card they can be user for many games on the internet including perfect world. they come in $20 incriments but beware your first time using one ull only be able to charge $10 because of the exchange rate between canada and the US. when you use it your left over money will be put into an ultimate gaming account specifically for you account on perfectworld and can be used for future purchases. because of this the next time you buy a $20 card ull be able to charge the full 20 as youll have left over from before to use in the exchange b:victory

    Unfortunately, there are no retailers near Chilliwack, BC that carry these cards...
    b:cry

    I have personally phoned each one on the list of retailers, even in cities near me. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

    Hopefully this changes soon

    To top this off, I've also tried four or five different times to pay through Paypal. Each time, somehow, paypal manages to **** it up. The last time resulted in my PWI account being banned, for which I do not blame PWI but Paypal. So unless I can find a reliable person who can buy the gold for me or a way of paying that doesn't involve Paypal, I'm stuck....

    I really hope PWI pre-paid cards come to Canada soon...
