Gaming $20 game card screwed up

[BenRK]

If only there was one near here... Oh well, I can only support LOCAL GAME STORE when ever I can. Though they don't sell these cards.

Anyway, after a day of being mister grumpy, I sent Nintendo an email. Decided that even though I just used my debit card to make up the difference yesterday, I could still enjoy another $20. Though I now need to check my checking account. Yesterday through my account tabs all out of crazy land and into someplace worse.

just don't scratch it like a hyper kid eating tons of candy scratch it like scratch just like scratch soft...

 

[BenRK]

You all assume I was just madly scratching away at it with a screw driver or something.

I found 10 dollars on the floor today, want it?

 

[BenRK]

How much will it cost to ship to me?

 

[BenRK]

They asked me to call, I did. "We will have our admin call you up tomorrow or the next day."

*head hit desk* Ok...

So much trouble for $20, I know.

Gamers! Know your scratch strength!
You wouldn't believe how many people do that, and I actually don't agree to refunds. If you scratched too hard, it's you're own fault.
It's a shame most shops give refunds for this kind of stuff.

 

[BenRK]

I DIDN'T SCRATCH HARD. I used a damn coin, was light and took forever to get ANY of the silver backing off, but that simply got my code removed. Also, I dare you to go throw away $20. Just walk up to a bridge and let a $20 bill fly away into the water.

 

[BenRK]

Ok, looks like I got the $20 on my eshop account. For some reason, they called my dad, even though I don't recall giving them that number and made sure I gave them mine. How odd... I don't remember EVER giving them my dads number (or parents home number). Oh well!

 

[skystealer]

I was in this same situation earlier. Call Nintendo about it, tell them the number on the lower left/right, and they will give you the entire code for you.

 

[BenRK]

Yeah, that's what happened, although the guy on the other end was rather... slow about it. Not to mention they called the wrong number to tell me the $20 was now on my 3DS. Oh well though! There is always the exception to the rule, you know?

Heheh, lucky for me I get it downloaded...
In play asia you could buy the card and they would show the code... SIMPLE!

For $28... I would rather just use my debit card directly in the 3DS it self. I just prefer using spare cash anyway.

So if I go to this site I can just pay the 20 bucks online using my credit card and the code would be emailed to me to redeem on the Eshop? That would be So much easier for me than going to the store and purchasing a card..is this site very reliable I have never used them before and can I Get a card for less than 20 bucks or is that the minimum

Edit: Ok so I saw that it comes up to be 28 bucks which to me is a total rip off..do you know if any other sites that do the same thing except not charge an additional 8 bucks

 

[BenRK]

I do, it's called the eshop. It has $5, $10, $20, and $50 options right in there. Just use your credit or debit card to purchase a $20 credit to your eshop account. Buying $20 cards online is... silly...

I buy $20 cards with spare cash, not with my debit card.

Sorry, only play asia has stuff like that but I think it's worth it!

Why? Why is buying a game card online worth it at all?
