Before the Halloween event started, my BF and I wanted to get gem cards to buy the exclusive stuff. We spent over 2 hours running throughout Zurich (Switzerland) trying to find Gem Cards. We found only 1.
Last week we did the same again for the Black Friday Sale. We did not find a single gem card. The employee of a store told us, that they don’t get them delivered anymore.
We don’t own a credit card. We don’t own a debit card. We don’t have paypal-Accounts. All we have is paySafeCard which isn’t supported. So we had to buy the gem cards online via a third party site that accepted PSC. Problem: The prices were in Euros, the prices were slightly higher than a normal Gem Card, there was a fee and of course, 1 Euro is around 1.2 CHF. So we paid a lot more just to be able to get Gems. The difference between the cost of 1 real gem card in a store here and the online gem card was roughly 10 CHF (10.75$ according to Google). Considering a gem card costs 30 CHF we paid 1/3 more than we would have to if the cards were available in the stores.
Is that only in Switzerland or do other places have a similar problem?
Will Swiss stores be delivered with more Gem Cards anytime soon?
Could you make an option for PSC? Please?
