WoW - Blizzard Launches 'The Card That Pays You To Play'

Blizzard and First Bankcard have announced "World of WarCraft Rewards Visa." Blizzard calls it "The Card That Pays You To Play," and with good reason too
because it will come with a free month of World of WarCraft subscription and 1% all purchases made will be converted to WoW game time, MegaGames says. More than that, for the first 12 months the card comes with an interest rate of 0%.

So without further ado, here's what a WoW gamer will benefit from, given that they acquire themselves one of these World of WarCraft Rewards Visas, as I found on the official World of Warcraft site:

1 - First of all, you will earn gametime with the purchasing of one or more cards: "Accrue World of Warcraft gametime at the rate of 1% of every dollar in qualifying purchases. The World of Warcraft Rewards Visa is the only card that pays you to play."

2 - "Receive a month of World of Warcraft subscription time with your first purchase using the World of Warcraft Rewards card."

3 - Introductory 0% 2 APR: "...good on all purchases and balance transfers for the first twelve billing cycles after your account is opened. Variable rates after the introductory period are as low as 9.99% APR 2."

Blizzard also says that "a balance transfer fee of 3% of the transaction, with a minimum of $10, maximum up to $75, will be applied to each balance transfer with this offer. Payments will be allocated to lower APRs first. Please note that the special introductory rates do not apply to cash advances."

Of course, they advise you not to spend too much money on the cards - "stay within your credit limit," but they're just forced to say it, so it's up to you really, whether you go on being an addicted WoWer or just play it for fun (even if it's hours at a time) and stick within the limits of gameplay hours.

Why don't you just see the official site and maybe get your own card while you're at it?
