I was looking into using GTCs rather than Credit Cards to keep the boyfriend from bothering me. But I've noticed the 60 day cards are $35. That doesn't make any sense to me, the subscription from my CC is $15/month. I figured it would be CHEAPER for them to process a payment every 60 days rather than 30... And with GTC's they aren't having to handle as many CC transaction fees.
Am I missing something somewhere? Can someone explain it to me?

A month EVE is 15,- Ç. Recently I bought from some retailer a 60 day GTC for 29,99 Ç. I would say the GTC prices are perfectly fine.

Ah... that may be so for you Euros over there... but for us in the States, 60 days on the CC is $30 while a GTC is $35.

Well, just pay ONCE for the entire year with a CC and then it's only 10.95 a month

I bought 8 90D GTC's before they vanished to feed my two accounts. Now I have enought gametime for almost year.. but after that I prolly need to start paying 1 year with CC to obtain cheaper levels.

fixed that for you. I'm sure wherever you are you have your version of "democrats". You know the nutjobs that go off and want to blame someone for something...anything that goes wrong because its easier to believe this 1 person controls EVERYTHING. They tend to ignore the swarm of people that are really at fault. As for the comment about him being a registered voter, i agree.
For the OP, I agree you would think it would at least be the same price as a CC charge. Especially when you factor in the fact that all credit cards take a percentage of the transaction amount as a fee. Not forgetting the fact that the retailers selling a gtc pays for the cards up front. It doesn't matter if someone buys them or not, ccp gets money for those cards, cards that could sit on a shelf for months before being used, if ever.
I once bought a 3 month card for sony's Planetside at the local virgin mega. The card was in the bargin bin since it hadn't sold for x amount of time. I got a discount, virgin got its investment back all the while sony got their money months before.
To be honest you would think ccp is making a profit off of $15, if no one else was able to then no one would be charging that much for online games. If they are making a profit then they could reduce the price of a month by $2.50 to at least make the gtc even with a cc charge. I know sony sells gtcs for their games at at worst they break even with the standard charge for a customer paying with a creditcard. Sony and Blizzard must be doing something wrong if ccp is doing it right....or vice versa.

Ah yes, another person who has no clue how the govermnet works. Take a gander at the constitution. It it congress who is responsible for the economy.
It is sad that you are allowed to vote. It is even sadder that you passed your government and econ classes in high school which points out the failure of out educational system.
