I dont know what to do now… My real credit card dosent work so I bought a vanilla visa 50$ can ( canadian dollars) gift card. But then I later realized that the $ can dosent have the same value as USD$. So im basically stuck with this card and cant even buy the expansion because It would cost 66 $ can.

What should I do now?? Also can I even buy gw2 products with this card like gems or other things? Or it wont work because this card is only in canadian dollars and everything from the official gw2 site is USD $.

Sorry for those stupid questions but I never really bought things online, its my first time.

Is it legal to ask a friend to buy HoT for me and I give him this card + 100g in game?

It will convert the purchase into USD, so you could buy gems, or you could use it at another store (say locally) and they can charge the card, and such.

There isn’t anything “illegal” to having your friend by the game and you give him that card, but if you also give him gold, that could be borderline selling/buying gold which is against the ToS.

You can occasionally find HoT on sale at other official retailers. DLGamer.us currently has it for $37, though unfortunately that’s ~$51 CAD.

wow really 51$….. I guess I am very unlucky… What im supposed to do with this card now? I dont need gems or anything and cant return it. Is there a canadian website where I can buy it from?

Edit; I managed to get hot for only 47$ canadians .

Edit 2 : Nvm its all good
