I understand that these can't be used to buy games here, correct? But what about using it to buy Wallet funds instead and buying a game with the Wallet funds? Seems like I read somewhere that works? Can anyone confirm, either/or?

Thanks.

Yes But you can link your account / pre-paid Card through PayPal and buy games that way also It gives you an extra receipt so if you lose one you'll still have the other, Isn't that amazing!

Thanks, but I don't use PayPal. So you're saying Yes to which on the above? That both work? Or just one?

(Its a Visa Gift Card by the way)

There is No reason why the Pre-Paid gift card shouldn't work, You could buy wallet funds or a game with it?

Because I heard some of these cards in America only work for stuff in America. Not outside, and since GOG is located outside the US, I was curious is all :)

Unless something has changed recently? And GOG accepts any/all types of visa Gift Cards/Prepaids?
Do you have the card Number on the front, you should have a 3 digit pin on the back right next to where you sign, Do you see that?

Yeah...I know how to use them. But I was going to pick up a $25 Visa Gift Card tomorrow and was wondering if i'd be wasting my time.

Hmm... It's a bit dicey but it might work as long as it isn't a walmart one.

Looks like you can't.

Even with buying the Wallet Funds too huh? Seems like I read somewhere that you could do that, but not buy a game directly?

That's something you would expect from the China state instead of America.
Actually you can link a prepaid Visa/MC/AMex to your paypal account and then use paypal and have it take the funds out of the prepaid card. I did that since Razer refuses prepaid cards, or should I say their biller does, what is the difference between biller and a company.

Anyhow unless Paypal changed their rules in the 30-60 days you can use a prepaid card or a rebate card. At least it worked for me. However Paypal cannot bill more card at a time, so if you have some money left on one card and can pay the rest with a second card Paypal doesn't have that ability.
