aces high gift cards??
« on: May 04, 2012, 07:57:32 PM »
so I was standing in line at the store the otherday and I looked over on the shelf and there were facebook cards, world of warcraft, dungeons and dragons, etc. gift cards.  why no do it for this also?  not enough players to make it worth making cards for?  I understand that it would cost quite a bit to do.  I dunno just a thought, as my wife could get me those for anniversary and such.

Lucky SOB.

It would be a LOT easier to get something like a NetSpend Card and just put cash on that. :aok  The only draw back, ye gotta remember to put cash on it. :bhead

I wouldn't mind having the option of gift cards to send to various players in game.

You can always purchase a month of Aces High for another player by contacting Carrie at HTC. I've done it several times, most recently for a Aces High player who took a Sunday afternoon to call me and give me insurance advice. This advice netted me almost twice as much money as I would have gotten without him. Paying for a couple months wasn't enough, but I had to show my appreciation some how.

I didn't even call, I just e-mailed Carrie (   billing@hitechcreations.com  )  my log in and password and told her to bill that account and credit the player who flies as 'BLANK' for 2 months of game play.

The game is not big enough to have gift cards available...

...It is big enough to have the ability to purchase a gift card and send it to another member of our community however.

I've used paypal and sent a squaddie some cash before, It would be nice if I could have sent a "gift card" instead.  That way the purpose of my expenditure is used how I intended, and It would be easier for me as well.

What wouldnt work though is the "Lets DA you OWE me if I win stuff"

But if there was a way to assist a community member I'd be all for it.

I've done it a few times as well I do it as a secret santa, however with the gift card option if someone runs into trouble they can just use it for a month subscription which they have up to a year to use it.

just get any card with a visa/mc logo at your favorite place.  then use it to pay for aces high until money runs out.

 you want the aces high logo on it?  get a capital one, they allow you to have any picture on it.

there's no point in asking ah to have a card that few if any will buy due to the hundreds of other cards already at your favorite store.  hell here in los angeles even the liquor stores carry them.

well think about how many AH players there is worldwide..much less in the US.

it would be reasonable to have accual in store game cards if we had maybe 2k+ active players (and thats still iffy)

what might be more applicable is having something on the AH homepage where you can put in a game ID and put credit on it using a CC or DC.

maybe a section under "community" titled "membership"

jesus what is wrong with giving the guy the money to pay for it.  why make it complicated.  when I want to buy my gf a dress I dont go get her a gift card.  I just give her the money and send her on her way.  also there's nothing wrong with giving a check payable to ah for the amount of a couple of months.

ah gift cards would only be available if you were to order from aces high themselves.  walmart sure as heck wont carry it on their stores as we are so spread out.  and even then gift cards have a 3 to 7 dollar charge.  so why spend more money than what you have to?
