    So If I use $50 of PWE game cards do I get the 300 ZEN bonus in addition to the 15%; if not it's no bonus once you pay the tax on the purchase of a card.

    Youl be able to get that 300 zen bonus IF YOU BUY a single $50 card. Not if you buy 2 $20s and a ten. As the way they have it setup is you can only redeem ONE card at a time.

    Been there tried that.

    3 days and counting 45 lobi gone. Please get the game fixed I WANT to play!

    Doesn't sound like a reasonable deal with the cards.


    While the non-card offer is decent, because of ARC I will not be buying Zen from now on. I will not support a company that forces bad applications on their customer base. Especially when the old game launchers are functioning perfectly and everyone is happy with it.

    Why you PWE doing that so difficult, no cards, no tax, no any shiats, make that simply +15% bonus ZEN if we could purchase. I don't understand your TRIBBLE merchandising , or you thinking , my grandma will go to paypal and buy me some prepaid cards ?

    Same, even the same amount. Wish you guys would've made this and the key event coincide like you did in the past. That last week of risa y'all probably got 2-300 dollars out of me. This time, you got forty. I definitely would've doubled it if the events had coincided.

    As a customer, I will always reward what I see as generosity. Going to remember this next time, unless the events overlap, I'm not buying.

    I do love a Zen Promo but why do you have to make it so damned hard for international customers to participate??

    My nearest outlet for one of these cards is in whole other country!!!

    /le sigh

    Get it into your heads PWE, these promos, while nice for US players, are useless here in Europe, and doubly so here in Scandinavia. I have not seen a PWE prepaid card in a long time...

    I have seen them once, yes ONCE, in about 1.5-2 years time, and that was in a big GameStop store in Oslo, Norways capital city. No PWE prepaid cards spotted since then.

    Have these promos on your own website, so that all players can partake.

    Makes for much more satisfied community...

    Sorry, but I do not see any bonus when choosing PayPal, unless I'm missing something...

    Will check the local GS store tomorrow, but I do not have high hopes...

    would be nice if they had it where you can buy them off from the site & receive the codes. its just not everyone wants to drive miles all over the place to get a card. you would think there was a way off the site. too bad cant find any on ebay or somewhere....& without wanting to tax the heck out of you...

    Wow I feel odd being the only one kinda happy about this sale. I have a plethora of Gamestops, Walmarts, Wallgreens, and Targets that all sell the cards to and from my place of work. I'll be honest I use the cards for about 90% of my STO purchases so I have a few days to collect a few extra zen if I want to. I like this. It's rare I get the extra 15% because the sales usually demand you to pay through a credit card on the PWE website, which I feel uncomfortable about.

    I too would have been happy if I lived in the US, but alas, I do not.

    PWE pre-paid cards can be very hard to find here in Norway, if not outright impossible.

    As I said earlier, I have seen them, but the are very rare to find. If they do carry any, it's not for Zen, but rather for Neverwinter or one of the other game currencies, but pure zen cards are nigh on impossible to find.

    I do hope that PWE sees this, and does the Zen promo via CC card methods, so all can enjoy it, not just the few...

    Needs of the many and all that you know...

    If you use the $50 pwe prepaid card, you only get the 15% bonus at checkout. I just used one and you don't get the extra 300 zen like with other options--paypal, ultimate game card, etc.

    Bah, would of loved this during the key sale... oh well

    Also PWE are willing to sell their cards to any vendor

    If you want your local stores to carry them, let them know. I fault PWE on a lot, but this one actually isn't their doing.

    My thoughts exactly. Makes it easier for everyone who would like to benefit from this discount, and I'm pretty sure it would generate more sales than buying pre paid cards.

    Oh, I have asked the local GS about it, and the guy behind the counter said that pre-paid cards sell by such a small volume that it would economical suicide to order some, since I would want 1 or 2 cards at most, and the rest would sit there unsold, wich is a loss in econimical terms for GS, and this is on a nation wide basis...

    So, not much hope there, and going through E-Bay or orther such ... sites, is just not economically feasible for me, nor do I want to, since I do not trust E-Bay at all...

    I have always been under the impression that cards such as those have no value until until they're actually sold. I would think the cards themselves would cost very little to the retailers, if anything.
