    I want to gift someone simpoints for a contest but it says to enter cc information I have money in my ea balance I want to use. how can I gift the points this way or will I need cc which I don't use on internet.

    thanks for help in this matter.

      I never gifted simpoints do to other limitations...

      so before you even try to do it... do you live in the same country? because if not you can't gift simpoints anyway
      do you have the other persons email? beacouse if not you can't gift simpoints (I been told... never gotten that fare... ended on the same country)

      I assume you are planning on gifting a nice round figure like 1000 simpoints...



      the best solution for you I think (and what many contests hosts do) is to gift of that persons wish list for a value of 1000sp....

      I tried a few ways and I too am only getting a credit card option as well.

      I went to Origin.Com and they currently don't have a gifting option of anything, like Steam. Which is not a good thing. They really need to allow you to gift games like Steam.

      though if you don't want to use your creditcard on this site you might still be forced to do as many and gift from wish list of the value of 1000simpoints.... you would have to do that any way if your not in the same country
