Having trouble locating a Prepaid game Card
 
I thought Target sells them but apparently at the target by my home doesn't. Is there another place where I can get one? This is the only way I can be the unlimited player because I don't really trust credit cards online and my parents don't really want me to do it that way, but they said they would do the game card way.

Sven Osymthe 10-08-2009 12:20 AM

From what I hear, they no longer sell the cards :(

Deadpool 10-08-2009 12:20 AM

I'm not really sure where else to get them, but I have the same problem. They stopped selling them at my Target awhile ago

edwardburnskull 10-08-2009 12:54 AM

same problem here
but they used to :(

Liz Fireburn 10-08-2009 12:56 AM

I get them from CVS, and Best Buy also has them.

Scarlett 10-08-2009 01:04 AM

I'm having the same problem and can't find the game cards anymore from Target or best buy. I thought maybe they were discontinuing them.
So I wrote Disney and they replied:

"Currently, Target, CVS and Rite Aid all supply Pirates Online Game Cards. Best Buy is no longer carrying the cards. Perhaps the cards were all sold out when you were at Target? I would encourage you to try looking for the Game Cards again!"


I did find a game card at CVS, I don't know why target don't have them.

Fillyteen 10-08-2009 03:12 AM

They told me to check back in a couple of weeks, thanks everyone :)
I might check CVS, We just got a best buy and they don't have a lot of stuff yet... but I'll keep looking

Basil Dreadflint 10-08-2009 03:41 AM

Best Buy sold out all their Pirates game cards and is no longer selling them.

The Skirata Clan 10-08-2009 05:08 AM

why not call and ask. maybe ask for other options too.

Benjamin Goldeagle 10-08-2009 05:16 AM

I find them all the time at CVS/Pharmacy, and at more than one location, too.

Dr. Zeppers 10-08-2009 05:17 AM

Just an idea/thought.
Visa gift cards work for subscriptions as well, at least they used to, ive used them a few times.

Chris Stormshot 10-08-2009 01:50 PM

I wish Wal-Mart sold the cards...
We don't have a Target close by, or any of the other card retailers. I want to get one so bad.
I might have to get it online, but that is just sooo slow... D: (Well, it was when I did it with Club Penguin, anyway.)

Xhex 10-08-2009 03:23 PM

The local Best Buy close to me sells them.

I like Zeppers suggestion the prepaid Visa cards work the same.

The Skirata Clan 10-08-2009 08:09 PM

Has anyone asked WHY they are not available as, from what I understand, used to be.

Eliza Creststeel 10-08-2009 08:32 PM

I never figured out why Wallie-World (Walmart) would carry Club Penguin, but not POTCO cards... and Game Stops should, at least the ones by me do not.

Chris Stormshot 10-08-2009 11:13 PM

We're going to a place where a local Target is, I might be able to get one there. :D
It's odd how some Best Buys sell the cards and some don't... XD
And it's odder how they sell just about every gamecard at Wallie World BUT POTCO. XD

Jade Lockburn 10-20-2009 08:36 AM

yeah i've been having the same problem. i went to my local Target today and they said they discontinued it. i searched the website of CVS, Rite Aid and Best Buy and no one had it. so i e-mailed Pirates Online telling them that and they got back to me saying:

"We continue to supply Game Cards to CVS, Rite Aid, and Target. You may wish to check local stores by calling ahead."

good luck to the both of us, eh mate? :]]

Chris Stormshot 10-21-2009 10:33 PM

Here's what I discovered:
I went to two places with both a Best Buy and a Target.
I went and searched throughout both Target and Best Buy in both places.
Both times I discovered that Target does not have the cards, and Best Buy does.
Maybe it's different where everyone else lives, but here things took on a whole new level of irony. (But I am glad I got my two game cards. :D)

Jade Lockburn 11-04-2009 12:23 AM

ok so apparently CVS does have it. i went there today and bought 2 30 day cards (since it's the only ones they had) i'm so excited :]]

The Skirata Clan 11-04-2009 01:39 AM

Are these card available online at those selected stores?

tnt user 11-05-2009 03:11 AM

I know rite-aid and wal greens sells them.the toontown cards also work for POTCO.

Dr. Zeppers 11-05-2009 04:04 AM

There are two Target stores local to me. They both used to carry the POTCO cards, as well as ToonTown.

Neither Target has POTCO cards any longer, and the pile of ToonTown cards is almost gone, obviously not being restocked. It could just be that Target is not the best at keeping things in stock, and just opts to buy whats latest and greatest when something runs out.

I have found them at CVS, but only the 9.95/month cards, never the cost effective 3 months for 24.95 version. Best buy still has them in thier online catalog so im sure they continue to carry them, however their being in stock is different question altogether.

Now.. I never knew the toontown cards worked for potco, thats interesting, but does make sense.

albbie 02-27-2010 06:45 AM

so I have compiled some easy ways for people to pay for subscriptions

- there's a link to Gift Subscriptions on the left side of the PiratesOnline.com website. If you go there, you can by a 1 month one-time subscription. It gives you a code but if you redeem it yourself then viola ... no monthly bills, just pay as you go! (great if you don't want that monthly bill)

- Game Cards - i think they are only in CVS but call before going cuz not all have them.

Are you sure they work? Like, did you try it for yourself? It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I want to be sure before taking a trip to Target.

Angel Seafish 02-27-2010 06:56 PM

Pre-Paid visa cards are the way to go. Considering Disney makes you keep paying until you cancel, just get a card about 25 bucks and you get two months out of it! Trust me mate, I can't find the regular game cards ANYWHERE!!!

Destiny 02-28-2010 11:07 PM

Yeah my Best Buy and Target no longer sell them, the only store that carries them in my area is CVS - but like others suggested - call before making the trip out so it won't be waste.

SamanthaLockkidd 03-02-2010 05:35 AM

There used to be several stores selling them but now all I know of is CVS.There's a list on the official Pirates site.

albbie 03-04-2010 07:38 AM

yes - toontown cards also work for pirates. I have tried and it's true.
