[Guide] How to Redeem your EA Cash Card (Updated)

[xdestructo10x]

K thanks. I'm ok with the government looking at me funny if it means a $20 card gets me $20 worth of battlefunds and not $15.

[DETHONASTIK]

i got mine in the vid game section at wal mart.. too bad i could only use it for $15 of bf ugh.. the remainder had to be bought by credit card

[xdestructo10x]

Thats exactly what i don't want to happen. I'll check the section by the cash registers at walmart where they have a ton of random gift cards for places then if its not there i'll check video games. I refuse to go to gamestop though so somewhere else better have it.

[CyrusPI]

That's a shame. Only places I've seen 'em was in GameStops where I live. But I don't mind going to their stores. Friendly folk ring me up.

Maybe one of these stores will have it?

I have a good feeling about Best Buy.

[xdestructo10x]

That sucks that we don't have a best buy. The only stores I have on that list are Target, Walmart, and Gamestop. The 3 middle ones lol.

[CyrusPI]

Target might have it in their electronics / gaming department. I suppose they try to stay on top of things to stay on top of the competition.

I haven't seen any EA Game Cards in Wal-Mart, but I haven't been searching actively for them.

I suppose you could give those three stores a call and ask an associate if they have the cards before you go to the store and discover they don't have it.

[xdestructo10x]

Calling is a great idea. That way I don't have to waste gas if I get unlucky.

Agreed on Target trying hard to stay ahead of the competition.

[xdestructo10x]

Danget. Nowhere had them. At Walmart they had Sims cards so I was like YES but then I was like WTF thats not EA its for Sims only.

[DETHONASTIK]

[attachment=56025]u may have to search around a bit yes .. at our walmart they are in the electromics dept where they have all the other cards.. i heard best buy had them but when i went online to see if they carried it i couldnt find it in their stock ... maybe they arent listed online

Do you reside in the United States of America? If so, and you can't see the payment option EA Account Balance, maybe your EA profile has the wrong country set up.

Go here, and make sure you're logged into your account, then adjust the info: https://profile.ea.com/myinfo.do

Why it isnt available here?
there is no game card option on the website here O.o....
-Netherlands

[Epicsoundmanager]

Could some of u put a DIRECT link to this ^^

[CyrusPI]

No can do, Epicsoundmanager. Any links past the Get BF link are long and funky, and copying and pasting them leads to blank pages. My guess: it's probably because that section of the site is secure and the links are randomized to protect players.

You could try redeeming your EA Cash Card on this page: http://eastore.ea.com/store/ea/html/pbPage.eagamecard/

Select the orange rectangle to the left reading: "Redeem Your Card for EA GAMES PRODUCTS"

(FYI, I tried that button and I received a proxy error, but it might something on my end.)

BUT even then, once you've redeemed the card and have the EA Account Balance filled up to $20, you can't see the game card option on the Get BF page.

Perhaps the Netherlands doesn't have the option for the EA Game Card. EA Game Cards are for the United States and Canada, I believe.

You could try changing your EA profile's country to the United States or Canada to use the Account Balance to get Battlefunds, and switch back to the Netherlands when you're done with the transaction.

Go here, and make sure you're logged into your account, then adjust the info: https://profile.ea.com/myinfo.do

By the way, how did you get a hold of an EA Game Card in the Netherlands?

[Epicsoundmanager]

Someone sended me... once... long time ago........
