Gem Card
Some of my Canadian friends were talking about buying the prepaid credit card and then using that to buy gems in the gem store.
Yeah I’ve gone that route but sad thing is if you buy a 35.00 prepay you only get 30.00 of that because it’s US based cards and there are exchange rates. I’ll be going back to the states to see family soon but would like to know where in Ontario can 1 find the cards?
I got mine at BestBuy, its likely just the fact your store didn’t have them, but they do carry them in most cases. I know the one in Belleville did. I’m sure many other retailers carry them as well.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t know where in the Toronto area you would find them though, maybe it would be a good idea to phone up some locations regarding them to save on gas and a trip. (Especially knowing Toronot traffic! lol)
Beyond that, not much I can help you in that regard.
Ah Many Thanks Talon, I was wondering whether Canada was carrying them. I will indeed call around.
The EB Games in The Path in downtown, under Commerce Court was carrying them when I inquired quite some time ago (around Christmas I think). They were $25 for 2000 gems, but there was sales tax on top of that. I decided not to buy because without tax on the gem store, the exchange rate still doesn’t equate to the additional 13% tax.
A sales tax? Really? On game cards? I bought 1 once for a diff game and it was a flat rate no HST etc. TY, I’ll avoid that store, and TY for the replies.

Some stores do sales tax for cards, others don’t. It’s rather weird.
I recall Shoppers drug Mart occasionally carrying game cards as well, but given that the GW2 gem cards are in cases, I don’t know how many would carry them in convenience stores.
Don’t give up hope though!
Many Many Thanks again gang. At least I now know the cards are indeed in Canada LOL. Just a matter of finding the right shop. GL , GH and Game ON!
Got all mine from Amazon.ca
Down here in the States, you can find them at Target as well. Now being an ignorant American, I do not know if they have Targets in Canada, but if they do, you can try there.
