Crowns with Game Cards

k9mouse

1) If I want to buy more crowns with a game card (with out buying more sub time), what stores will carry such a card?
2) Also, my account I am using is not a Steam account, however, I do have a steam account also.
3) Can I add crowns to my non steam account via steam cards?

I do have a sub, but I will not get anymore crowns until my sub renews in 2016. Just getting data to think ahead as what I want to do. I have no trouble buy items online, however, I rather not have an entry with "ESO" appear on my bank statement for a reasons that I should NOT go into. So game cards is a work around for that "problem."

4) Where can I can found more info on this aspect of crowns buying with game cards?

Why don't you just buy yourself a Visa/Amex gift card?

I do not know how they worked and I do not trust that will not send out junk mail to my RL address. Bottom line, I have to keep the fact I play videos hidden. It is a sad world that we live in. YES!, I am way, way older then 20 years of age.

I use ESO timecards. You get 3000 Crowns stat when you turn in your Playtime Card. Whats your question again? Don't they sell any where you are?


Edit: Sorry didn't read: IF you have sub until 2016 you probably should get 1500 crowns every month... ?

He probably has a yearly sub, meaning that his billing date is a long ways away.... by the way he is talking they give the crowns on they billing date not the first of each month of subscription. A serious over site by ZOS if true.

@k9mouse contact ZOS through support and see if you can get that over site cleared up, for everyone else as well as yourself. I am sure they would gladly look into that, might take them a bit to fix it, but if they have any sense of mind they will likely fix that for you.

If you use the game cards they sell in stores you will get the crowns immediately, and they will add the time onto your sub which I think is really nice.

If you REALLY want to avoid it on a bank statement... buy bitcoins here, https://www.coinbase.com/ then make a paypal account, immediately sell the bit coins and have the money directly deposited into your new paypal account (dont like a bank account to it) and now you have raw paypal balance, go to where ever you bought your game, for me I bought the digital edition so I would go to the eso account page, and buy the crowns with the paypal balance... if you want a more in depth or more untraceable method, look into how to use a crypto currency with a onion router to transfer money from the deep web to the surface web. (the hacker for hires equivalent to embezzlement)

but that's extreme, you could just send money from one paypal account to another...but where is the fun in that?

I don't understand why ZoS has always been so slack about getting their game cards into Wal-Mart. I hate going to Gamestop to get them because they always roll their eyes any time a PC gamer asks for something, LOL.

Use google.

5500 crowns for 30 euro. If you use a 2 months sub its also 30 euro and only 3000 crowns woohoo

That's because as the PCmasterrace your pc should be able to do it for you.

So just to clarify, if I purchase a one month time card at target for a friend and they add it to their account, they will receive 1500 crowns along with the month sub?

Such sites are unauthorized. ZOS' online store and the Steam store are the only authorized places to buy crowns online.

1) I would expect most standard gaming stores, and the ones that already carry the game time cards.
3) No. Steam versions of the game (and the things for them) are entirely separate to non-Steam versions.

In theory, yes.

That's not an oversight because they specifically said that's how it's going to work. If you have a 6-month sub, you get 9000 crowns at once when your payment is processed.
