I see a lot of people confusing themselves with these so I'll explain everything properly.

This will give you a Zulian Tiger right away in your mail....................... I KEED I KEED!!! I do have one though :)

This is a 60-DAY Game Time Card for your WoW account. You DO NOT save any money by buying these as some are saying. The ONLY WAY to save on your subscription is to buy 6 months at a time through account management. I personally like to do 1 month at a time and as soon as my subscription is paid for a month I go right in and cancel recurring so at the end of the 30 days I have to physically go in and do it again. I do it this way because I like to be able to make sure I'll have available time to play the game and I can't know that a month in advance so I like to go in and physically pay every month.

Every so often like now with the release of Legion I KNOW I'll be playing so I buy a game card. In this RARE OCCASION I bought 4 but Amazon messed up and sent me 5 so I have 10 months of WoW but I didn't redeem them all. I will do 2 months at a time. These ARE NOT the kind you have to activate at the register. These are the old school kind where you simply scratch to reveal the code, and enter it in, and BOOM 60 days of game time.

The SOLE REASON for buying these is to not have to use a credit card but it doesn't really make a difference because you need a debit / credit card to buy these here. People don't realize like mentioned above you DON'T HAVE TO do recurring charges. If you cancel your subscription right after you pay it you still have 30 days on your account. It just prevents it form auto billing you at the end of the 30 days. There's really nothing else to it. Back in the day when I started playing in vanilla I didn't have a debit card or a credit card so what I had to do was go to the mall and buy a visa gift card from this Simon Gift Card stand for $15 and go home and use that to pay for a month but now it's years later and I have quite a few different credit cards with a credit score of 797. I won't get into all my credit lines but they're high.

Anyway....FOR THE HORDE!

Works good, but please cut your production costs.

I always have liked this method of paying for my subscription vs going through the long process of adding a paypal, or a credit card to an account. I have a credit card still attached to my account but that is mostly for faction changes, etc... But this has been my preferred way of paying for my subscription ever since they changed it to the whole battle.net thing. I really am not to happy with the way that they seem to always change the way they sell you the card, the first time that I ever bought one it just came in a regular dvd case without anything special to hold the card, just a regular case and the card would rattle around in there, then they had the DVD style case but with the custom mount for the card, I somewhat liked that, but I really still didn't get why I had to throw away a big plastic dvd style case every time that I purchased the card. Now I guess if you buy these they come in a little slimmer expansion type box, which to me is like really guys come on, you send me this big box with the same guest past that you have been giving out for like the past 8 years which isn't even required to play anymore, so they are just wasting more material and time. Please get with the program and start just being like everyone else, your cards are not anymore special than xbox live gold cards, or blah blah blah. Just use a thin envelope, or better yet just glue the card to a piece of cardboard like how most companies sell their gift cards. But overall this is a good easy way to pay, works, but really sorry blizzard your cards are not anymore special than anyone else, save like a dollar on the cost to produce your weird packaging for these and discount it for your customers.

The box was smashed, the guest pass was outdated, the card was rectangular... and this orc was satisfied.

When this product arrived I was immensely satisfied to see that the box was smashed some. I thought... perhaps it is trying to immerse me within the game already, for its as if an fellow orc stamped on it in an effort to take my head off with his axe. Upon looting the smashed box I discovered a acceptably rectangular plastic card which I carefully set aside in my bank vault. I then pulled out the other item within the box, a guest pass, and proceeded to toss the box aside as if it were a night elf. I excitedly looked down at the guest pass, ready to invite my friends to raid and rampage a path across the world. I was very excited about the possibilities.

Very excited that is, until I realized that it offered 1 guest a chance to play to level 20. You know... something that any orc with half a brain could do without a guest pass since its FREE TO ANYONE ALREADY. Some guest pass.. i thought to myself. I guess its a fairly old and outdated piece of loot.

Moving on and pulling the plastic card back out of my vault, i giggled like a filthy human child as I scratched off the back in an effort to reach the code. I hoped that this code would help me instantly conquer my enemies and find valuable loot, but alas it simply gave my access to the world in which that was possible.

So now I must quest on, trying to achieve greatness.

A better alternative

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2010

Platform For Display: PC/MacEdition: 60 Day Time CardVerified Purchase

Simply put, this is the best alternative when you want to control your subscription payments. As the nature of such, you can pay in advance and activate the card at a later time when you feel it is best. This can help to save you money in different times and seasons when you don't feel like playing. I have this issue since I hop, skip, and jump to different games, be it older or newer.

I also want to comment on the great pricing of the card. The standard one month rate is $15.99 last I checked, so you're saving a few bucks. Now, this can be refuted easily by suggesting that you can get a better discounted rate if you purchase the longer subscription renewals but you must be willing to play the game almost every day you spent the money for. I am not one of such players who can. I can attest to all the breaks-some short term and long term ones-over WoW. However, if you do get into the game enough, you may find that paying for a single month will not allow you enough time to enjoy what you're playing the game for.

I believe that 60 days at its own sequence is enough time. The best compromise between not having enough time from one month and realizing that you have too much game time that will end up getting wasted when you are well satisfied.

Quick and Easy

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2012

Platform For Display: PC/MacEdition: 60 Day Time CardVerified Purchase

This item does exactly what it is supposed to do, add 60 days of play time to your account. Five stars right off the bat.
I'm mainly rating this item to offset all the people who have chosen to rate the game here (the game is not the product). The 60 day time card does exactly what it's supposed to do; it allows you a way, other than a recurring credit card payment, to access the game.
Pros:
Easy (just enter the code from the back)
No credit card (lots of the young people who play this game don't have access to the card, or if you're like me, you might not be a fan of automatic debits; either way, this is perfect.)
Cons:
There are bulk discounts available with a credit card (if you are buying at least three months or more) that you can't get with this product. It would only amount to a few dollars in savings a year, but it's something to be considered.
This item is a bit over-packaged. The card (the size of a credit card) comes in a full game size box. I'd prefer Blizzard wouldn't handle it that way, but it's not a major issue.
You do have to plan in advance if you are going to get this off of Amazon. I have purchased a few of these off here and the biggest issue I have had is making sure I order a week or two prior to running out of time. I could run down to target and get one, but Amazon is easier and I like to support web commerce.

BEWARE OF THE EMPTY BOX

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2013

Platform For Display: PC/MacEdition: 60 Day Time CardVerified Purchase

I gave this 1 star because I love the game. This is not about the game itself.

I have ordered this a few times and everything is fine. I open the box and take out the time card. However this time one of the boxes did not contain a card. So I went to try to get help from amazon. there is no link anywhere to get help. so I went to leave seller feedback. They then pop up a thing to contact them instead since I was leaving poor feedback. So I emailed them and was told I would get a response in 12 hours. That was several days ago and I still havent heard anything. So I went to leave seller feedback this time. But now I cant even do that. The item is not on the feedback page anymore. So I cant leave a poor service / empty box complaint. So I have to leave my feedback someplace and this is the only place left to me.

Dear amazon,

I love you. But sometimes I don't like you much. It hurts when you don't write like you said you would. I just want my item. I paid for it and I think that means I should get what I paid for. I would like to leave feedback in the proper place. But you have taken that away too. I will not be re-ordering this again from you. I know you don't need my money. Also I know you don't have to care that I didn't get my time card and only got a empty box. I'm not leaving you completely. My love for you runs too deep. I am just upset that i didn't hear from you at all. At least have the respect for a customer who spends money every week; to at least say, "We are sorry but we do not replace missing items of this kind."

I've been playing the game for almost 2 months now and the game is amazingly addicting. Make sure your willing to lose sleep, but it is extremely an exciting game. The visualization of the game is stunning and Blizzard again has hit a home run with this title. You can use your credit to pre-order through the game itself monthly, 3 months, etc. Blizzard will give a discount on depending how much you pay up front. Amazon has a very competitive price for the 2-month game card, which makes it the best option. Make sure if your doing the Super Saver free shipping that you order 2 weeks or so in advance. I find that Amazon will have like a delay of one week before it even ships out. The price is worth if you do it in advance.

The reason for 4 stars is that Blizzard needs to work on some of the Realm's performance issues. Some realms are more effected than others. I'm now playing on one that has no issues at all. The best way to find out how much lag a game my be like is to venture to Ironforge or Stormwind during peak times and compare to other servers what the overall lag is like. Ironforge is a huge city period so no lag will be hard to find, but you will see a difference through different realms.

Safer than ongoing credit card subscription

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2008

Platform For Display: PC/MacEdition: 60 Day Time CardVerified Purchase

It's a time card. It works. Used one and giving the rest for Christmas presents.

As for the game, it's not perfect but haven't found a better one yet.

EDIT: Update January, 2015. Last year I had two credit cards compromised. Both times fraudulent charges appeared within a few days after I had purchased the expansion or renewed a subscription by entering credit card info at their website. I have several other credit cards I use all the time at other websites and none of them have been compromised, only the ones I used for WoW. Therefore I will no longer give Blizzard my credit card info. I am not saying Blizzard's site was breached (they denied it of course), I am just giving the fact that MY cards were breached, just after I had used their website, on two occasions. Might be coincidence, but I'm not going to risk a third event.

The credit cards I have with Amazon have never been compromised. Therefore from now on I will buy time cards instead of setting up the ongoing subscription, it appears to be safer.

The most convinient way to get your WoW fix

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2008

Platform For Display: PC/MacEdition: 60 Day Time CardVerified Purchase

After many months of debate I finally caved and bought World of Warcraft. It's great fun and all that but I found one thing I didn't like: The Payment Method. You are expected to give a credit card number and every time your subscription runs out they go and charge that credit card for the next period.

I don't like that that at all. First, I'm not fond of just giving my credit card number for a long term charging option like that. Not just in Warcraft but gyms, online subcriptions and the like. Second, you leave yourself suceptible to being charged when you dont want to.(Like when your trying to square away your credit card)

That is why I find the pre paid card the best payment option. You buy what you need. When your running low they let you know and when I finnaly get bored, its over. I dont have to make calls or get online to de-authorize the use of my card. I also think this is a lot safer than credit card subscrptions.

The only flaw? This is a LOT of packaging for something that you are going to use just once and throw away. Such a big box for a card the size of a standard credit/phone card and even the card you throw away after you scratch the number and punch it in. They are all the same so its not like you collect them or anything.

Despite that, this is the ONLY way I play WoW. Highly recommended.

Safe way to pay for online account

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2009

Platform For Display: PC/MacEdition: 60 Day Time CardVerified Purchase

This card is worthwhile mainly if you do not wish to use your credit card on the NET and have one less location storing your financial information. I purchase this when Amazon has it on sale or at least at a price that would be less than the 3-month recurring charge you can purchase direct. And now that you can purchase the card and receive free shipping it usually is able to meet my criteria.

This prepaid card at the current price allows you to play the game cheaper than if you pay month-to-month or using the three months recurring plan by using a credit card with Blizzard. For me the added security of not having to give your credit card info for your subscription is a great bonus and this is perfect for anyone who wants to purchase a gift of playing time for anyone they know that plays the game.
