First off, many apologies to those of you who have been looking for our cards in the usual locations and not finding them there. There have been several changes (as well as a few known issues) regarding our Cash Cards and I will summarize them here:

US Retailers

- Best Buy is no longer carrying Gaia Cash Cards in the US.

- 7-11 is phasing out the $10 denomination, but will continue to carry the $25 Cash Card. You may still find a few $10 cards scattered in various stores, but they are not being replenished. We have also heard of users trying to buy $25 cards and getting an error at the cash register. This problem seems to be isolated at certain stores only - our vendor is looking into the problem.

We've also heard of users not receiving the winged handkerchief with the purchase of a 7-11 card. This should be fixed, but if you haven't received yours, please contact Customer Support by clicking on the "Contact Us" link at the footer of any page and fill out a billing inquiry.

- Walmart no longer has the $25 card in their checklanes. The $10 and $25 cards can be found in the electronics section.

- All other stores shown here carry both the $10 and $25 denomination.

Canada retailers

- Walmart and 7-11 are carrying both the $10 and $25 denominations and these are available now

- Latest update from our vendor is that Best Buy and Future Shop were delayed in getting the cards, but they should be available in a few days.

Upcoming

- We will be in Gamestop in the US in early August. Stay tuned for the announcement.

If you have any suggestions for us, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Could you maybe look into getting them into Borders or Barnes and Noble? Also the Walgreens near me doesn't appear to carry the Cash Cards at all anymore. (The Rite Aid across the street does though!)

I've actually seen (RARELY) Cash cards in Gamestop, but I never do anymore.

They should sell them in a game store more often, especially since I see Farmville, Neopets, and other random game site cards.

Bookstores! That's an interesting suggestion. I will look into whether our vendor has distribution there.

And yes, we were actually never in Walgreens, although the suggestion has come up lately. For pharmacies, we are in CVS and Rite Aid only.

[X] Even though I'm not in Canada or US, thank you for telling us! <3
I am happy to see Canada will get *more?* GCards soon!

It's nice that Canada will be receiving Gaia Cash cards soon.
It makes me shamefully optimistic that the UK might be able to get them one day. sweatdrop

Awesome! I can't wait for Cash Cards to be at Gamestop!

I'm very happy to hear that Canadians will be getting the long awaited Cash Cards. More revenue!

Thanks for letting us know, though I all ready knew about Best Buy since the store assistant told a friend and I about it a week or two ago. I think it's dumb Best Buy won't carry them. They carry those dumb farmville ones!

anyway, I will continue to get them from target and FYE.
