Question - How to buy EoK for a clean account?

[playj]

How do you guys buy EoK expansion for your alts?

I really really do not want to put all the EoK expansions on the same credit card.

Is there some way to buy EoK expansion codes?

EQresource used to have a contest where they gave away a single EOK expansion code but that must have been a very special deal for them from Daybreak.

I have tons of accounts from old guildies that I do not want to put my billing info either.

theres no way to dodge the credit card thing yet, i keep petioning asking about it and i keep getting told they have no intention of allowing gifting or cd keys for this. They keep saying to go buy a pre paid debit card and use that.

Yeah , that would be my suggestion. Get prepaid Visa cards and make a note on each account with the card number you used, just in case you do ever need to source it.

Does Paypal not work for that reason ?

 

[playj]

Huttont the problem is that Paypal from the same person also "dirties" the account.

That is Daybreak now knows that you own all 20 accounts. So if one account goes down for some reason(your drunken brother in law used it for racist slurs, etc) the rest of accounts would follow.

Case in point: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/51796-Anyone-else-banned-lately

So far the best solution would be multiple prepaid cards but you still got to put your name on those. Ironically Paypal used to offer virtual one use cards a few years ago but they stopped offering those.

is it against paypals terms of use to have multiple accts? ... or "YOUR WIFE'S" paypal?

 

[shadowfall]

Yeah pre paid CC is the way to go.

 

[DarkDevil]

Yep. Go to Wally and get PP visa cards. Write the account name on each card and store them. That is what I did.

HOT TIP! Buy a prepaid card from walmart or walgreens (green dot) then in game EMAIL the card details to yourself! it will stay there forever!

I do the same thing for secret question btw, I don't say: SECRET QUESTION IS XXX, I simple say something dumb like the word of the day is XXX, then I send an ingame email to that toon with the info

 

[Razkle]

the other thing I do is buy it with paypal by ADDIng the verified email address from the account as an authorized paypal, buy the expac, remove the account from my paypal, rinse and repeat

The knowledge Raz has on these workarounds never ceases to amaze.

This is probably the best way to do it - but it also requires that you have a verified email right? I doubt DBGs will remove this method as, in my case, I would not buy the expansion at all if I couldn't pay via PayPal. So, they would simply lose several expansion sales.

you must verify an email to DBG, you can ADD that email to your Regular paypal, then remove it after the purchase, as far as DBG knows THAT email purchased the expac

This...

You can add whatever alias you want to paypal, and then remove it after the purcahse...

 

[Razkle]

yup and add and remove as many as you need, just make sure you REMOVE the paypal after you pay to remove the link!
