Do you have a solution for doing the above?
I can do this in WoW but not ESO, its 2021, why isn't there a mechanism in place to support this?!?!

    Back before they invented the internet, I used to buy Prepaid ESO Plus time cards (PC) and gift those. These were physical cards that could be purchased at places like Target and Walmart. I have not seen one of those in a very long time, and the last one that I had left over did not work anymore and Customer Support had to do it. For whatever reason, they no longer do this. :disappointed:

    No, we do not offer the option to pay for the membership of another player. We also discourage players from adding their payment method details to an account that they do not own.

    Can I gift an ESO Plus membership plan to a friend?

    I mean that is common sense but in WoW, I can choose to buy gametime then gift it to another player. In this case, my partner. Why can't we do it in ESO?!

    Honestly, it's infuriating. It's 2021, this should be standard now. I don't live with my partner and she's on a budget but I want her to join in so I'd like to buy or gift her game time. The fact I can't, as a gamer, it absolutely mind boggling. I genuinly don't think the devs realise how painful this is to not have.

    @ZOS_BillE we want a solution where we can gift gametime to other players like most other MMOs of this style. Not excuses, solutions. See above, it's hightly frustraiting.

    Well certainly I would never give my financial info to another player! But it would be nice if we gift a month of ESO+ safely! :)
