Guild Wars 2

I bought a $25 dollar gift Visa gift card because I want to get the Braham’s Shield skin for my warrior before it goes away forever in a day or however long, and every time I try to enter the card info and make my purchase it tells me that the ‘Card Approval Failed’

I always make my gem purchases via gift cards, so the card information changes every time I make a purchase, and I made one last week. I’m also aware of a ‘velocity’ control on gem purchases to track fraudulent purchases or such, but I’d think a past week would be enough time…

If you continue to have issue with this, you can contact Customer Support for assistance.

Good luck. =)

One trick that works for some people is making sure to click on the CC icon for the type you are using.

Alternatively, if there is a best buy near you, I believe they sell both the $15 and $25 gem cards.

Other places should as well.
