The truth is, You must sign up for a re-occurring payment plan in the USA and Canada in order to access your 30 days which was marketed as included with purchase of the game.

PREPAID GAME CARDS are NOT available in the United States or Canada.

Amazon says 2-5 weeks for delivery and they will happily take your money today.

    Not available *yet.* I had a suspicion that they might not show up until the end of the month.... If they aren't in stores by then, then I'll say that the US won't get them, but it seems silly for the UK to get pre-paid cards, and the US not to.

    Best Buy in Washington state told me they expect them in about two weeks but that they are not released as far as they know. So the US will get them just they aren't out yet in stores. I don't know if that's a mistake on the stores part (not ordering soon enough) or the distributors part.

    I've seen eb listed as an option. That's why I said in stores. But amazon states 2-5 weeks for delivery. Is it due to too many orders maybe?

    This is only my (un)educated guess, so its not worth much
    What i think:
    Zenimax have some problems with time cards -maybe with printing them or something, and im guessing they not even started sending them out (or send VERY limited supply)
    So first (physical) cards need to go to random distributors -and then they sell them to customers
    It takes time a lot of time (like 2-5 weeks)

    BUT Zenimax is of course not short of cards as codes -i guess they can create infinite ammount of those ;D
    So thats why time cards are avaible in digital form

    Yeah it's just difficult when you expect it to be in stores since the game is out and everyone looks at you like your crazy. One of the managers I spoke to looked like he was about to brace for an angry mob with pitch forks. (He was worried if ZOS didn't reply fast enough they'd be coming back with the game). But still if it was going to be an issue we should have been able to select that wi be our payment and then enter the code whenever we got it

    I posted that list before in other thread, so repost

    List of (some) keyshops with ESO time codes avaible
    Please -if you have a option to buy at ANY place but not in keyshop, do so
    There is certain risk involved in buying there -sometimes codes simply dont work and you need to chase support (and they good at hiding). Sometimes entire SHOPS are just big frauds
    So feel yourself warned

    btw one of these keyshops is well know - G2A, there was recently a PayPal promotion/discount just for that keyshop
    It is also advised -to purchase cards in your national keyshops -they usually have better prices then listed international ones
